City in Ireland

Galway

3 things to see

Galway is Ireland’s most bohemian city, where the free entertainment is the point: street performers along Shop Street, traditional music spilling out of pubs, and a walkable medieval core that costs nothing to explore. The Salthill promenade and the harbour are free seafront strolls, and the city is the natural launch point for the Connemara coast and the Aran Islands. It pairs naturally with Dublin on a west-to-east Ireland route, and shoulder season means fewer crowds and cheaper beds.
