Galway, Ireland

Galway Ireland

Gateway to Connemara, Galway is a delightful and vibrant harbor city, situated on the west coast of Ireland. In the 14th century, the town was a significant trading hub under Anglo-Norman rule. Extensive commerce with Spain resulted in a Spanish influence on some of Galway's architectural remains. Despite its history of international influence, Galway retains a more Irish character than other western cities. Known as the "city of tribes", Galway is brimming with rich Irish culture and historical importance. The town winds between river and sea, filled with old merchant houses, peculiar leaded windows above stone entrances, and ancient stone walls contrasting modern storefronts. Eyre Square is very much the town’s center, with scattered monuments to patriots and numerous intriguing passersby. Shop Street, the main thoroughfare, is always buzzing with street music and performers. Shop Street also leads you past Lynches Castle, a graceful stone mansion from the early 16th century. Walk up the banks of the Corrib River towards Salmon Weir Bridge. Wander back through the narrow streets to the Spanish Arch, the only surviving gateway to the old trading town and a relic of the days when Spanish trade thrived and sherry was imported in large merchant carracks through this arch. Today, Galway is a university town that is always bustling with ongoing exhibitions and festivals. Crowds conversing in riverside pubs, enjoying live music. That is the true spirit of Galway.
