Overview

Step into the storey of Galway’s most treasured symbol on this small-group guided walking tour. Explore the origins of the iconic ring, receive your own Claddagh ring to take home, and relax in a cosy local café as you uncover its meaning and learn the traditional way to wear it.

Beginning in the historic fishing village of Claddagh, you’ll take in sweeping Atlantic views while discovering how this iconic ring became a globally recognised symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship. From there, you’ll continue into the old town, where centuries-old stories—rooted in medieval times—have shaped both the town’s character and the enduring legacy of the ring.

Activity itinerary

Galway City Museum

  • 10m
You’ll get a crash course in the city’s history, from archaeology to medieval life.

The Spanish Arch (Pass by)

The Spanish Arch was built in 1584 but is an extension of the 12th century Norman -built town wall, which stretched from Martin’s Tower to the riverbank.

The Claddagh (Pass by)

The Claddagh or ‘An Cladach’ meaning ‘the shore’, is a notable area in Galway, on the western side of the city. The Claddagh was once an ancient fishing village, dating from the fifth century.

Lynch's Castle

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket included
One of Ireland’s best-preserved medieval townhouses, famous for its carved stonework and still in everyday use as a bank.

Saint Nicholas' Collegiate Church

  • 5m
Galway's only medieval building, dating from 1320

The Kings Head Kitchen (Pass by)

The building itself dates back over 800 years to the 13th century. Speed’s famous Pictorial Map of Galway (below), drawn in 1651, shows the home of the Mayor of Galway at 15 High Street as one of the tallest and most prominent buildings in Galway with the impressive five storey Stubber’s Castle adjoining it to the rear.

Galway's Latin Quarter

  • 30m
A lively area filled with cobbled lanes, music and old stone buildings. Pause for a tea or coffee like a local, and receive your Claddagh ring, with the storey behind it fresh in your mind

Quay Street (Pass by)

A medieval lane filled with pubs, cafés, buskers, and independent shops, where the city’s trading past and artsy present meet.
