From left to right: The Galway Races, Dunguaire Castle in Kinvara, Cycling in Connemara, The breathtaking Connemara landscape

A remarkable county with a truly unique atmosphere, Galway in the  West of Ireland gets under your skin like no other place in the world. 

Dramatic, haunting and utterly wild, the craggy countryside at times looks unforgiving, at times rich with bursts of colour and dotted with tranquil, picture perfect lakes. 

The Gaeltacht area of County Galway offers an authentic insight into life through the Irish language, and the Aran Islands have a breathtaking beauty and an island atmosphere of their own. 

On top of all this, Galway’s got great beaches, soaring mountains, lovely villages, fabulous pubs and some of the friendliest people in Ireland. Take a closer look to discover more…
