Itinerário
Eyre Square, no coração da cidade de Galway, é oficialmente conhecido como John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. A praça tem uma história rica que remonta aos tempos medievais, quando os mercados aconteciam no gramado em frente aos portões da cidade. Um memorial do presidente dos Estados Unidos Kennedy, que se tornou um homem livre da cidade, marca o local onde ele fez um discurso para aproximadamente 100.000 pessoas de Galway em 1963, em sua última viagem antes de seu assassinato.
Castelo de Lynch, é um exemplo impressionante de uma casa fortificada medieval. O castelo tem quatro andares com janelas esculpidas embelezadas, gárgulas e molduras ornamentais e cornijas. Construído pela poderosa família Lynch como proteção contra ataques, partes do edifício de calcário podem datar do século 14, mas a maior parte foi construída no século 16. Os Lynches, descendentes de anglo-normandos, eram uma das poderosas 14 tribos que governavam Galway.
A Igreja Colegiada de São Nicolau é a maior igreja paroquial medieval da Irlanda em uso contínuo como um local de culto no centro da vida de Galway.
Uma das melhores vielas medievais de Galway, Kirwan's Lane, localizada no que agora é conhecido como Quartier Latin. Fica no centro da área que originalmente estava dentro das muralhas da cidade e recebeu o nome de Kirwan, uma das catorze “tribos” de Galway. A área foi significativamente restaurada ao longo dos anos e rejuvenesceu o coração do centro histórico da cidade de Galway.
Thomas Dillons Claddagh Gold, é o fornecedor mais antigo do anel Claddagh original. Eles criam os anéis em prata e ouro desde 1750.
Restos arqueológicos do século XIII do Hall of the Red Earl, o edifício mais antigo a ser escavado dentro das muralhas medievais de Galway.
O Arco Espanhol é uma das jóias históricas de Galway, que remonta aos tempos pré-medievais. Abrigava soldados que vigiavam e armavam canhões no telhado.
O Westend é a parte de Galway que os visitantes têm o prazer de descobrir. Fora dos roteiros mais conhecidos e um pouco mais longe do centro da cidade, seu caráter boêmio e excêntrico com moradores amigáveis o tornam um dos lugares mais atraentes de Galway.
Catedral católica romana em Galway, um dos maiores e mais impressionantes edifícios da cidade. A cúpula da catedral, a uma altura de 44,2 metros (145 pés), é um marco proeminente no horizonte da cidade.
1845, esse foi o ano em que o Queen's College Galway foi fundado. Após a construção do icônico edifício Quadrangle, a Universidade abriu suas portas quatro anos depois para o primeiro grupo de apenas 68 alunos.

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!
