Activity itinerary

John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial
  • 10m
Eyre Square, in the heart of Galway City, is officially known as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. The square has a rich history dating back to medieval times when markets took place on the green in front of the town gates. A memorial of the US President Kennedy, who was made a Freeman of the city, marks the spot where he made a speech to approximately 100,000 Galway people in 1963, on his last trip before his assassination.
Lynch's Castle
  • 15m
Lynch’s Castle, it is a striking example of a medieval fortified house. The castle is four storeys high with embellished carved windows, gargoyles and ornamental mouldings and cornices. Built by the powerful Lynch family as a protection from raids, parts of the limestone building may date back to the 14th century but the bulk of it was built in the 16th century. The Lynches, of Anglo-Norman descent, were one of the powerful 14 tribes who ruled Galway.
Saint Nicholas' Collegiate Church
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas is the largest medieval parish church in Ireland in continuous use as a place of worship at the heart of Galway’s life.
Kirwan's Lane
  • 15m
One the finest medieval laneways in Galway, Kirwan’s Lane, located in what is now referred to as The Latin Quarter. It is at the centre of the area that was originally within the city walls, and is named after the Kirwan’s, one of Galway's fourteen “tribes”. The area has been significantly restored over the years and has rejuvenated the heart of Galway’s historical town centre.
Thomas Dillon's Claddagh Gold
  • 15m
Thomas Dillons Claddagh Gold, is the oldest purveyor of the original Claddagh ring. They’ve been creating the rings in silver and gold since 1750.

  • 15m
13th century archaeological remains of the Hall of the Red Earl, the oldest building to be excavated within Galway's medieval walls.
The Spanish Arch
  • 15m
The Spanish Arch is one of Galway's historical gems, dating back to pre-medieval times. It housed soldiers who kept watch and manned cannons on the roof.
Galway's Westend
  • 25m
The Westend is the part of Galway that visitors are delighted to discover. Off the beaten track and a little further out of the centre of the city, its bohemian and eccentric character with friendly locals make it one of the most appealing places in Galway.
Galway Cathedral
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Roman Catholic cathedral in Galway, one of the largest and most impressive buildings in the city. The cathedral dome, at a height of 44.2 metres (145 ft), is a prominent landmark on the city skyline.
