Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on size. Large ships anchor in Galway Bay and tender passengers to the port, a few minutes' walk from the centre; smaller vessels come alongside the quay directly.
Entirely, and that is the right way. From the quays, a few streets take you to Eyre Square, and the shopping street then runs down to the river. The capital of the Irish west is walked with a smile, and never needs a vehicle.
The large green that serves as Galway's living room: students stretched out on the grass, workers on a sandwich break, the flags of the old merchant tribes snapping in the wind. The square sets the tone of a young, relaxed city.
The historic heart of cobbled lanes, past the fortified Lynch house. Traditional music pubs, jewellers engraving Claddagh rings, bookshops and oyster counters share the coloured houses. The atmosphere lifts a notch in late afternoon.
A ring showing two hands holding a crowned heart, named after the Claddagh, the old fishing village on the far bank of the Corrib. Latin Quarter shops engrave it on the spot: it is Galway's emblematic souvenir.
If you like them, yes. The bay produces celebrated oysters, honoured each autumn by an international festival, and the Latin Quarter tables serve them with a plain slice of brown bread and a glass of stout. It is the city's most honest speciality.
A remnant of the sixteenth-century walls that protected the quays where Spanish ships unloaded wine and brandy, at the end of Quay Street. Next to it, the free city museum traces the story of the town and its fourteen merchant tribes.
A traditional brown-sailed boat, the maritime emblem of the region, with a few examples still sailing off the quays. The city museum devotes a section to them, alongside the history of the merchant tribes.
Eyre Square, Shop Street and the Latin Quarter down to the Spanish Arch: that is the heart of the city and it fits comfortably into an unhurried half day. Walkers continue to the Salthill promenade, about thirty minutes on foot.
Two kilometres of seafront facing the limestone hills of the Burren, about thirty minutes' walk from the centre. Tradition requires touching the wall at the far end before turning back, and for the brave, diving from the Blackrock board whatever the season. In clear weather the Aran Islands show on the horizon.
