About Galway
Galway is bohemian Ireland personified—colourful shopfronts line narrow streets, traditional music spills from every pub, street performers juggle on pedestrian walks. The Atlantic crashes nearby; Connemara mountains brood in the distance. This is where Ireland gets weird in the best way.
