Walking in Galway

Galway is a small, lively city of colourful pubs, buskers and medieval lanes, with the Atlantic and the Connemara hills nearby.

Terrain. Flat and easy. The central streets are pedestrianised, and the Prom is paved.

Weather. Wet, windy and cool for much of the year, even in summer. Pack a waterproof and a windproof layer whatever the forecast says. The Prom and Mutton Island causeway are the most exposed stretches.
