Sightseeing

Live like a local by walking the Prom! With views across Galway Bay to the Burren and out to the Aran Islands, it's a walk with scenery to die for. In September, you can catch mackerel from the beaches and rocks. Make sure you kick the wall down at the blackrock diving tower. It's tradition

The Spanish Arch is one of Galway's big spots for tourists! So jump on the bandwagon and get a selfie down there. Make sure and take a walk across the bridge to the Claddagh on the far side of the river for great views back across the city
