The 10 Best Things to Do in Galway City

10 reviewed

Galway is small enough to walk in an afternoon and busy enough to fill a week. These are the ones that earn the hour: the walk through the Latin Quarter and the Spanish Arch, the food routes through the market, and the day trips that use the city as their starting line. Prices, durations and where each one meets.
