Galway is the cultural capital of the west of Ireland and the gateway to Connacht — a vibrant, youthful university city (NUI Galway) on the east shore of Galway Bay whose compact, pedestrianised medieval centre, its extraordinary live music scene (traditional Irish music sessions in the pubs of Quay Street and Shop Street are among the most authentic in Ireland), and its position as the gateway to the Aran Islands and the Connemara wilderness have made it one of the most popular destinations in Ireland. Galway City is the fastest growing city in Ireland and has been consistently ranked among the most enjoyable and liveable cities in Europe for its combination of cultural vitality, maritime setting and access to wild Atlantic landscapes.
Galway's annual festival calendar is extraordinary — the Galway International Arts Festival (July, one of the largest arts festivals in Ireland), the Galway Races (July/August, Ireland's most celebrated horse racing week, attended by 150,000 people), the Galway Film Fleadh and the Galway Oyster Festival (September, the world's oldest oyster festival since 1954) give the city a year-round festival character. The Aran Islands (Inis Mór, Inis Meáin and Inis Oírr) — accessible by ferry from Rossaveal or Doolin, or by direct ferry from Galway city — are the most iconic Irish island landscape, with their prehistoric stone forts (Dún Aonghasa on Inis Mór, perched on a 90-metre cliff above the Atlantic), traditional currach boats and Irish-speaking communities. The Wild Atlantic Way coastal route passes through Galway and the Connemara coast.
Gateway to Connemara and the Aran Islands: Galway is the principal gateway to two of Ireland's most spectacular landscapes — the Connemara region (the granite mountains, peat bogs, fjord-like loughs and wild Atlantic coast west of the city, including Connemara National Park and the sky road above Clifden) and the Aran Islands (the three limestone islands in Galway Bay, with the prehistoric cliff fort of Dún Aonghasa, the traditional stone walls and Irish-speaking communities). Both are accessible by car, bus or ferry from Galway.
Traditional Music Sessions: Galway's pub music sessions — particularly on Quay Street, Shop Street and in the Salthill pubs — are among the most authentic and most vibrant traditional Irish music experiences in Ireland. Unlike tourist-oriented performances, Galway's sessions are driven by local and visiting musicians playing for the love of the music in an informal setting. Evenings from Thursday to Sunday are the most active. No booking required — simply find a pub with music and join the audience.
