Galway's most-visited historic core — the medieval Green presented to the city in 1710, where JFK addressed a crowd in 1963; a 1627 merchant doorway saved from demolition; and the 1584 city-wall arch, damaged by the Lisbon earthquake's tsunami, that gives the promenade its name. 3 stops through the heart of the City of the Tribes.
