City of the Tribes

A major hub for visitors exploring Ireland's western regions, Galway serves as a city of art and culture, renowned for its vibrant lifestyle and numerous festivals.
Visit Bunratty Castle & Folk Park and Ashford Castle for their historical value. Shop till you drop at Charlie Byrne's Bookshop and OMG Zhivago. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Galway: Atlantic Drive on Achill Island (in Westport) and The Hungry Monk Art and Craft Gallery (in Cong). The adventure continues: cruise along Wild Atlantic Way and get to know the fascinating history of Salthill Promenade.

Western Ireland overflows with quaint coastal towns, historical castles, and picturesque rocky landscapes. With big cities like Galway, Cork, and Limerick, the region has the right amount of urban flavor to balance Ireland's rugged west coast. Carpeted green fields end abruptly at the Cliffs of Moher, which draw visitors as a top tourist attraction in the region. The area's Aran Islands, a collection of three small islands, showcase the original language through many native Irish speakers.
