Visiter The Long Walk.

The Long Walk is undoubtedly one of Galway’s best-known corners! This is a short walk along Lough Corrib, with its houses, boats and small harbor. A very pleasant walk, which will show you the symbiosis in which the inhabitants live to the rhythm of the Corrib River…

The Long Walk

A relaxing stroll through water, nature and a city on a human scale

The Long Walk usually starts in front of the Galway City Museum, a few metres past the Spanish Arch, one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions.

But don’t be fooled by its name: there’s nothing long about the Long Walk! It will take you between 5 and 15 minutes to complete this short circuit! But it’s worth it!

You’ll pass a string of houses, all facing the river, with different, colorful facades. The view alone is worth stopping to take a few shots! Lough Corib’s incessant bustle contrasts wonderfully with the beauty of its simple little houses.

One of Galway’s must-see spots!
