Itinerario
Eyre Square, en el corazón de la ciudad de Galway, se conoce oficialmente como John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. La plaza tiene una rica historia que se remonta a la época medieval, cuando los mercados tenían lugar en el verde frente a las puertas de la ciudad. Un monumento conmemorativo del presidente estadounidense Kennedy, que fue nombrado hombre libre de la ciudad, marca el lugar donde pronunció un discurso ante aproximadamente 100.000 habitantes de Galway en 1963, en su último viaje antes de su asesinato.
Lynch's Castle, es un ejemplo sorprendente de una casa fortificada medieval. El castillo tiene cuatro pisos de altura con ventanas talladas adornadas, gárgolas y molduras y cornisas ornamentales. Construido por la poderosa familia Lynch como protección contra las incursiones, partes del edificio de piedra caliza pueden datar del siglo XIV, pero la mayor parte se construyó en el siglo XVI. Los Lynches, de ascendencia anglo-normanda, eran una de las 14 poderosas tribus que gobernaban Galway.
La Iglesia Colegiada de San Nicolás es la iglesia parroquial medieval más grande de Irlanda en uso continuo como lugar de culto en el corazón de la vida de Galway.
Una de las mejores callejuelas medievales de Galway, Kirwan's Lane, ubicada en lo que ahora se conoce como el Barrio Latino. Está en el centro del área que originalmente estaba dentro de las murallas de la ciudad y lleva el nombre de los Kirwan, una de las catorce "tribus" de Galway. El área ha sido restaurada significativamente a lo largo de los años y ha rejuvenecido el corazón del centro histórico de la ciudad de Galway.
Thomas Dillons Claddagh Gold, es el proveedor más antiguo del anillo Claddagh original. Han estado creando los anillos en plata y oro desde 1750.
Restos arqueológicos del siglo XIII del Salón del Conde Rojo, el edificio más antiguo excavado dentro de las murallas medievales de Galway.
El Arco Español es una de las joyas históricas de Galway y se remonta a la época premedieval. Albergaba soldados que vigilaban y manejaban cañones en el techo.
El Westend es la parte de Galway que los visitantes están encantados de descubrir. Fuera de los circuitos habituales y un poco más alejado del centro de la ciudad, su carácter bohemio y excéntrico con gente amable lo convierte en uno de los lugares más atractivos de Galway.
Catedral católica romana en Galway, uno de los edificios más grandes e impresionantes de la ciudad. La cúpula de la catedral, a una altura de 44,2 metros (145 pies), es un hito destacado en el horizonte de la ciudad.
1845, ese fue el año en que se fundó Queen's College Galway. Luego de la construcción del icónico edificio Quadrangle, la Universidad abrió sus puertas cuatro años después a la primera generación de solo 68 estudiantes.

We enjoyed our experience with Clare and learned about the tribes of Galway. She pointed out many historic markers that we would not have noticed and told us stories that made Galway come alive. Clare was more than willing to answer all our questions.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted that Clare helped bring Galway’s history to life through its stories, historic markers, and the fascinating history of the Tribes of Galway. Thank you for booking with Travelling Ireland!
This was an excellent tour. I lived in Galway for years and was genuinely blown away by how much history I knew nothing about. Arthur knows the city inside out and was able to answer every question that came up. He is personable, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned so much. I came away with a much greater appreciation for this wonderful city. So many locals stopped to greet Arthur along the way, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. You can also tell how much he enjoys what he does, and that enthusiasm really comes through throughout the tour. I would absolutely recommend this as a must-do for anyone visiting (or living in!) Galway City, including people who think they already know the place!

Thank you for booking with Travelling Ireland and for recommending the tour!
My adult daughters and I had a lovely tour with guide Arthur! We learned so much about Galway history, as well as suggestions on other things to do and see in the city. I will say that Arthur is somewhat of a celebrity in town - we were stopped by several lovely Galway locals for a greeting and bit of a humor! Arthur is a gem - we highly recommend the tour with him! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you and your daughters enjoyed discovering Galway’s history, local character, and recommendations for the rest of your visit. It sounds like Arthur made the experience especially memorable! Thank you for booking with Travelling Ireland!
