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.

Clare was delightful. Extremely knowledgeable and clearly loves Galway and is very thorough sharing its history. Answered all our questions. Has a wonderful sense of humor. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walking tour.
Arthur was amazing! He met us at our hotel lobby and gave us a brief current history of Galway before starting our tour! He was born and raised here and had incredible personal stories that tied in with the community. Arthur was thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. He took his time with the tour and made sure all our questions were answered! We would recommend him to everyone!
Arthur's tour was a definite highlight of our time in Galway (and Ireland!) Arthur's love and passion for his city was showcased in everything he shared with us. A lifelong resident of Galway, his historical knowledge was exceptional (he was present with his family for JFK's visit to Galway in 1963!) and his storytelling was so special. You will leave your tour looking at Galway with fresh eyes and feeling like you spent the afternoon with an old friend. We are so thankful we chose to tour with Arthur!
There are not words to describe how wonderful our tour with Arthur McQuire was. He is native and shared details we could never have learned from anyone else. We were captivated from the start and never tired of the stories and history. If you take this tour ask for Arthur you will be amazed and learn so much. He felt like family after 2.5 hours! We will be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour of Galway with Arthur McGuire as a family of four! What made the experience so special was how personal it felt. Arthur didn’t simply take us to the usual sights and recite facts—he brought Galway’s history to life through stories, fascinating details, and his own connection to the city. We learned so much about Galway’s history that we never would have discovered on our own. At times, it genuinely felt like we were walking around Arthur’s own neighborhood with a local friend who happened to know an incredible amount about the people, places, and stories that shaped the city. One of the highlights for our daughters was an unexpected side trip to a local bookstore. It was such a thoughtful addition to the tour, and they absolutely loved it. It was one of those little personal touches that made the experience feel less like a standard tour and more like Arthur was sharing his Galway with us. Arthur was engaging, knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about Galway. Our entire family came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city. Highlight of our first trip to Ireland. We will be back!!!
