Stroll · 1 h 30 · free · the pedestrian streets of the centre, street musicians and the mouth of the Corrib

Galway's centre is small and almost entirely pedestrianised. From Eyre Square runs one street that keeps changing its name (Shop Street, High Street, Quay Street) through the Latin Quarter, with colourful façades, old pubs such as Tigh Neachtain and musicians playing in the street at any hour. At the end is the Spanish Arch, a remnant of the old city wall beside the mouth of the River Corrib, where people sit and watch the water go by.
Across the river lies the Claddagh district, home of the rings. A stroll of an hour and a half covers it all, with a stop at the city museum, which is right next to the arch.
