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.Venture out of the city with trips to Cliffs of Moher (in Liscannor), Ballyvaughan (Burren Birds of Prey Centre & Aillwee Cave) and Bunratty Castle & Folk Park (in Bunratty). Spend the 28th (Fri) among the memorable landscape of The Burren. There's still lots to do: explore the striking landscape of Connemara National Park & Visitor Centre, appreciate the extensive heritage of Salthill Promenade, admire the landmark architecture of Galway Cathedral, and don't miss a visit to Quay Street.
