We asked our team of native Galwegians to tell us what the locals love to do.

1 Hour to Wander

Savour the atmosphere as you take a stroll through the streets of Galway town. Pick up a last-minute gift in the Treasure Chest on William Street, just a 3-minute stroll from the Hotel. The owner Mary Bennett first started her gift shop in The Hardiman many years ago! Step outside and walk around Eyre Square – see the memorial to President John F. Kennedy where he gave a speech during his visit to Ireland. Study the flags at the top of the square and look up the history of the 14 merchant families who dominated Galway from medieval times.

3 Hours to Explore

Galway is a walking city, and you can enjoy our many heritage sights on foot.  Both Spanish Arch and the Claddagh are within a 10-minute walk and are included in the walking tours of the city. You could also catch a bus from just outside The Hardiman to Salthill, our famous seaside suburb. This popular promenade is always filled with walkers, friends and families.

On weekends you can sample the delights on offer at the Galway Market, again just a 5-minute stroll from The Hardiman. Located in the shadow of St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, you can taste our Galway oysters or purchase local arts and crafts. Many Galwegians buy their fruit and vegetables at the Galway Market each week.
