Galway City is one of the most chilled out spots in Western Europe. Despite being a city, it feels like a big town in County Galway with its easy attitude and cool bohemian vibe. 

Known as the City of the Tribes, after the 14 affluent tribes who ruled during the middle ages, this thriving city is the most westerly in Ireland and enjoys a strong artistic heritage and a flourishing arts, music, theatre and film scene. 

Summer in Galway is a never-ending stream of excellent  festivals and eating, drinking and entertainment all taking place outdoors in the balmy air of this warm-hearted city. 

Enjoy the atmospheric pubs in this  West of Ireland city, the beautiful location at the edge of Galway Bay, the pretty medieval streets and the lively weekend markets with a city break you’ll never forget.
