Galway
People flock to Galway to experience a slice of its magic and its festivals - including the world famous Oyster Festival at Clarenbridge (September). The country is renowned for its exceptional atmosphere and strikingly rugged beauty, particularly around Connemara, with its ancient stone-walled fields, golden beaches and breathtaking vistas. Pulsating at the heart of the county is Galway city with its bohemian vibe. Music, festivals, horse racing, pubs, restaurants, shops, theatres and most of all Galway people, combine to create this atmospheric mediaeval city of culture.
