Best places: Monuments in Galway, Ireland

👍 The trail was steeper and tougher than we expected. There were many wet and slippery rocks and at times even running water since it rained the day before. You'll definitely need a good pair of shoes and to be careful as you traverse the hike. In the end the view was worth it.

Notable part of the archaeological Brú na Bóinne site, with many Stone Age tombs & petroglyphs.

Prehistoric site with monuments, such as a mound and chambers, plus an interpretive visitor centre.

Renowned prehistoric landscape dominated by 3 neolithic passage tombs, plus 90 further monuments.

👍👍 Lovely place for a walk with family. Dog friendly, the views are amazing, Track is very ease you don’t need any special shoes or equipment. Highly recommend!! 💚🍀

Imposing 62m obelisk built to commemorate victories of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.

👍👍 I was driving past the Altar Wedge Tomb, and happened to notice the turn-off sign to the tomb. Without thinking, or planning, I pulled in, thinking it would be a waste of time in the cold, foggy, drizzly weather. And boy, I'm really glad I did. After parking in the free parking lot, my son and I got...

Bijou and unique 18th-century country house offering tours of its 16 opulent, neo-classical rooms.

Bronze statue of a fictional fishmonger named Molly Malone, the star of a well-known Irish song.

👍👍 Went down to Dublin with my Mammy has have a photo of my Daddy who wasn't that long passed away and the photo of him was taken at the monument in the 60s (I think) and wanted to retrace his steps. Dublin is steeped in history and this monument is well worth the visit. The monument was fenced off,...

😐 Monument didn't really tell you too much apart from it's in aid of the famine. You only need 5 minutes but don't park in the car park over the road as waste of money for 5 minute view. Park down by the abbey which is down the side road, free parking and actually more interesting to see the abbey.

👍 Great visit to stone walled caves from 2000 b.c. Similar cavves found on Skellig Island. . Amazing North Atlantic ocean views

1907 arch at park entrance erected in honor of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died at war.

👍👍 I think everyone love this statue and has their photo taken here. It is a true part of Galway The statue of the two writers, by Tiiu Kirsipuu, was constructed in 1999. The imaginary conversation between the Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) and Estonian writer Eduard Vilde (1865-1933), depicted i...

😐 When my friend, who is a professional nanny, told me she took the kid to Croppies Acre I was horrified! To me, Croppies Acre is the park to be avoided, the park where you watch out for syringes. Anyway, I decided to check it out for myself, and found that it's changed a lot in the last few years. It...

Statue dedicated to the memory of James Larkin, the founder of the Workers’ Union of Ireland.

😐 This is a very impressive structure that I definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area. Unfortunately there's only a small area directly in front of the landmark to park, directly in front of the "no parking" sign. The landmark is also surrounded by a rather ugly metal fence. I'm taking star...

👍👍 This monument in Casement Square commemorates those who died in the British ocean liner, RMS Lusitania, the Lucy as she was nick-named and at the time the world's largest passenger ship, a ship which on 7th May 1915 while nearing the end of her 202nd crossing, bound for Liverpool from New York, was...

Bronze sculpture in Croppies Park intended to represent the nearby River Liffey.
