2025 Update

As the ‘throbbing heart’ of Ireland’s mid-West, the cultural life of Galway includes native culture, literature, and the Irish language. The city’s Poetry Plaques are pieces of creative writing about Galway cast in bronze or engraved in limestone. They capture the fine words written about their locations around the city.

These particular Tours take place annually in the months of April and July. If there is enough interest , we also run these literary tours around the Bloomsday period of 16th June. The short tour takes in Plaques in the inner city area only. Please email us for ore information or to request one of these tours .
