Itinerary
Your tour begins at Eyre Square
Meet your guide outside St. Columba's Credit Union on Eyre Square, the lively medieval core of Galway. Look for the sign at this central plaza before setting off through the city's old merchant lanes.
Sip a house-distilled gin and tonic
Stroll a short distance from Eyre Square to a sleek contemporary cocktail bar on Forster Street. Sip a gin and tonic poured from their house-distilled gin as the guide introduces flavors of the West of Ireland.
Pass tribal merchant landmarks
Walk back toward the main thoroughfare to spot the Browne Doorway, a 17th-century gateway from one of Galway's tribal merchant families. Steps away stands Lynch's Castle, the only intact tower house of that powerful dynasty.
Stroll to a 14th-century church and market
Continue down Buttermilk Lane to St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church, a 14th-century site reportedly visited by Christopher Columbus. Beside it sits the historic Galway Market square, busiest on Saturday mornings.
Taste an Irish charcuterie board
Step into a family-run wine café in the shadow of an 1800s church on St. Augustine Street. Taste a charcuterie board of Irish cheeses, meats, and breads with wine. Plus enjoy a whiskey distilled in Galway; special as Galway was without its own distillery for over 100 years.
