What to See and Do in County Galway, Ireland

Galway, Ireland Panorama
Galway Tourist Information

Standing at the Spanish Arch (late 16th Century), Galway was once just a small fishing village. Turned into a prosperous, walled town by the "Tribes of Galway" (14 merchant families who ruled the town) in the 13th Century, it is now a bustling city with plenty to offer for visitors of every taste
.

The city's main hub is the 18th Century Eyre Square, which now incorporates a modern shopping centre and is surrounded by a wealth of traditional pubs (many of which frequently offer live Irish folk music and shops. The winding lanes leading from the square to the Latin Quarter, which still retains some of the city's ancient walls, are lined with stone-clad cafes, art galleries and boutiques.

Some of Galway’s historic treasures include St Nicholas Church, which was completed in 1320 and is said to have been the place where explorer Christopher Columbus came to worship and, of course, Galway Cathedral. Rising high over the Corrib river, this imposing cathedral has an impressive interior with attractive Romanesque arches, rough-hewn stonework copious emblazoned with stained glass, lovely mosaics and a beautiful decorated dome, as well as superb acoustics (which, by the way, are appreciated best during organ recitals.

More modern attractions include, among many others, the wonderful Galway Atlantaquaria, Ireland's largest aquarium of both native and tropical species.

The city is also the perfect base from which to explore some of the surrounding area's most breath-taking natural wonders, which include the renowned Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, the Burren and Connemara's stunning wild beauty.

While some of these sights can be easily taken in while taking a leisurely cruise along the Corrib River and on to Lake Corrib, hiring a car by booking budget Car Rental Galway makes exploring most of Galway easier, allowing you to see more and make the most of your visit to this exciting city.
