Flooded with festivals and filled with more restaurants per capita than any other Irish city, Galway will keep you busy even if the rain is falling. With a hive of cultural and art activities going on to include dance, film, theatre, music and language, you will soon see how Galway earned its name of being The Cultural Heart of Ireland. Hugging Ireland’s western Atlantic coast, the rugged and dramatic coastal scenery will leave you breathless. Plenty to do for the outdoors type too, there’s sailing, rowing, hiking and horse riding, or why not try something new such as hurling or gaelic football. Just be sure you leave time to do your homework and get talking to the locals with their soft accents and welcoming smiles.
