A different way to discover Galway is to take the Corrib Walk, a walking circuit along the River Corrib, right in the city center. An original way to discover Galway, and soak up its warm and special atmosphere!
The Corrib Walk is a circuit that starts just after O’Brien’s Bridge, on Bridge Street in Galway city center. You’ll need to follow the road to the north of the town. You’ll have the chance to stroll along the wild banks of Lough Corrib, admiring its natural surroundings, its tree-lined shores and their coexistence with the town.
The walk is very pleasant and peaceful, and will give you a great insight into the daily life of Galway and its people, with its colorful facades, its tranquil waters popular with fishermen, and its footpaths which ensure that locals never feel quite in the city.
The route takes you to the Salmon Weir Bridge, Galway’s iconic bridge and dam, known for being run by wild salmon between May and September. The show is well worth the detour!
