About this experience

Get to know Galway in a relaxed way. Start the self-guided tour and spend a beautiful and varied time in Ireland's oldest harbour city.

The tour starts at the railway station and takes you through the lively city of Galway. You'll wander through the medieval Latin Quarter, where pubs and music characterise the cityscape. There's a secret around every corner, from the history of Christopher Columbus to Ed Sheeran and the Galway Girl.

The tour also takes you to the Corrib River and Claddagh Quay on the shores of Galway Bay, where you can enjoy the fresh sea air. At 20 stops, you will learn surprising facts and amusing anecdotes from the city's lively history and get tips on other sights, good Galway cuisine and lots of music.

The walk is about 3 kilometres long and takes about 2.5 hours.

At the tour stops, there are entertaining tasks to solve and fun questions to answer. Who knows, for example, what ... but no, we won't tell you yet!

The tour is a great way to get outside and discover new things with family, friends or on your own.

It's like being shown Galway by a good friend. Many anecdotes will enrich your walk through the city.

You can start the tour at any time and as often as you like in the browser of a smartphone. On site or even from the comfort of your sofa.

Enjoy your time in Galway!
