It is more of a fortified house where the Lynch family has resided since the 14th century. Located right in the city center, it might not stand out immediately. However, Lynch\u2019s Castle is a beautiful old building, four stories high, with unique exterior decorations. Nowadays, a bank occupies this building, which makes sense given the thick walls. Lynch\u2019s Castle is one of the many Galway attractions that might not catch your eye at first but are certainly worth visiting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14830\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111431\/Lynch-Castle.jpg\" alt=\"Lynch Castle\" width=\"634\" height=\"845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111431\/Lynch-Castle.jpg 634w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111431\/Lynch-Castle-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Spanish Arch<\/h4>\n<p>This city wall might not immediately stand out either. By the waterfront, there is still a section of wall with two gates. It would be easy to walk past without giving it much attention. But once you hear the story behind it, the Spanish Arch becomes much more interesting. A local guide during a bike tour might tell you, for example, what an earthquake in Lisbon has to do with the Spanish Arch.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14832\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111454\/Spanish-Arch-bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway.jpg\" alt=\"Spanish Arch attractions in Galway\" width=\"634\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111454\/Spanish-Arch-bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway.jpg 634w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111454\/Spanish-Arch-bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111454\/Spanish-Arch-bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-212x140.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Cycling in Galway to see it all<\/h4>\n<p>To see all the attractions in Galway in a short time, we recommend opting for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bajabikes.eu\/nl\/galway-fietstour-de-highlights\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=ru_bezienswaardigheden&amp;utm_campaign=galway&amp;utm_content=tekst&amp;bb=1980\">Galway bike tour of the highlights<\/a>. Our experienced guide will take you to all the beautiful spots and tell you about the history of this lovely city. Within a few hours, you will know all about the Spanish Arch and other attractions, leaving you time to enjoy traditional Irish music in one of Galway&#8217;s many pubs.<\/p>\n<h4>St Nicholas\u2019 Church<\/h4>\n<p>This is one of the most striking attractions in Galway. The church, named after the patron saint of sailors, Nicholas of Myra, has proudly stood in the city since the year 1320. It is a so-called collegiate church, which is a church associated with a college of canons. Usually, only cathedrals have this privilege, so St Nicholas\u2019 Church is quite special. It has also played an important role in the political life of Galway. Local elections often took place within the church&#8217;s walls. Religion is very important in daily life in Ireland, and this church is a good example of that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14834\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111517\/Bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-St-Nicholas-church.jpg\" alt=\"Attractions in Galway St Nicholas church\" width=\"634\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111517\/Bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-St-Nicholas-church.jpg 634w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111517\/Bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-St-Nicholas-church-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111517\/Bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-St-Nicholas-church-560x372.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cdn.bajabikes.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/16111517\/Bezienswaardigheden-in-Galway-St-Nicholas-church-212x140.jpg 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Salmon Weir Bridge<\/h4>\n<p>The Salmon Weir Bridge has stood since 1818, making it the oldest bridge over the River Corrib. The bridge runs from the Galway Cathedral (not St Nicholas\u2019 Church) to the Headfort District Court. The bridge gets its name from the species of fish that swim up this river. If you are in Galway between April and July, you won&#8217;t want to miss this bridge.

It is close to the sea and surrounded by some beautiful hills. The most striking feature of this village is its church towers. Another interesting attraction in Clifden is the harbor.
