Charming Galway is an historic city located on the West Coast of Ireland, and an essential stop when traveling along the Wild Atlantic way. A popular tourist destination, Galway city has a lot to offer. With a youthful and even Bohemian atmosphere, this really is a place you need to spend time in if you want to soak up the atmosphere.

1. Take a walking tour around Galway City

  #galway #galwaycity #galwaycityphotographs #eyresquare #pádraicóconaire #padraicoconaire #walkingaround #walkingtour

A post shared by A Mala da Japa (@a_maladajapa) on Apr 7, 2018 at 5:05pm PDT

Perhaps the best way to experience everything that Galway city has to offer is by taking a walking tour. In the company of a local guide you will get to see all the main sights and also get an insight into what life is like here as a local. Along the way you’re sure to pass by most of the iconic sites which include the Cathedral, Eyre Square and of course the Spanish Arch. A walking tour of Galway city is also a good way to orientate yourself and plan out what to see and do if you’re spending more than a single day there.

  2. Visit the Spanish Arch

  Happy Friday! ⛵️Photo: Orla Buckley. #galway #galwaycity #westofireland #ireland #claddagh #happyfriday #weekend #summer #august #nature #photooftheday

A post shared by Galway Today (@galwaytoday) on Aug 11, 2017 at 7:42am PDT

The Spanish Arch is perhaps the most iconic of Galway’s landmarks. Constructed in 1584, it overlooks the River Corrib, and was once used to get to the quays from the town. In fact it was part of Galway’s medieval wall system, and in Galway’s trading heyday a lot of shipping passed to and fro to unload goods from Spanish and Portuguese ships. When Cromwell conquered Galway in the 17th century, the port lost its importance, and today the Spanish Arch is all that remains of the walls. No trip to Galway is complete without taking at least one selfie here!

  3. Cruising on the River Corrib

A river boat cruises The River Corrib and sails along the river with lush countryside surrounding it to the left and right. During the cruise you will pass by ancient castles and ruins, and of course you can enjoy an Irish coffee on board!

  4. Check out the Galway Hooker boats

  Swanning around! Thanks to Orla Buckley for this shot. #galway #galwaycity #westofireland #ireland #swans #summer #july #photooftheday

A post shared by Galway Today (@galwaytoday) on Jul 11, 2016 at 3:04am PDT

A type of traditional fishing boat known as the Galway Hooker was in common usage in the 18th century. Today many of these boats have been restored by enthusiasts, and some can even be seen during a yearly festival. If you are a beer connoisseur you might also notice a locally brewed beer of the same name in almost every pub in the city.

  5. Beer and music

A post shared by Tig Choili (@tigchoili) on Apr 17, 2016 at 12:25pm PDT

As we’ve already mentioned beer once, we should probably mention that there is plenty of traditional music to be enjoyed with it in Galway City! Quay Street is the most popular place to go for pubs, restaurants and cafes.

  🎭🤹‍♀️ It’s a fair bit colder tonight ❄️❄️❄️ Repost from @mcwhaaat It’s exactly two degrees out and this barefoot guy with a man bun has almost set himself and the audience on fire twice.

The sounds of traditional live music fill the air in places such as The Spanish Arch Hotel and the Quays. Enjoy a Guinness or Galway Hooker and join in the craic!

  6. Treat your tastebuds

  Biteclub Disco Brunch Garden Party is happening right now over on Abbeygate St. Get in touch with them for ticket availability on the Poitin Masterclass that’s on later! galwayfood #thisisgalway #bia #food #longweekend #wildatlanticway #ireland #galwayfoodfestival #gff17 #thisisirishfood #galway #biteclub #brunch #gardenparty #discobrunch

Be sure to treat your taste buds during your visit to Galway City. Farmhouse cheeses at Sheridan’s, the amazing McCambridge food emporium, and the incredible bread from the Griffins Bakery which has been in operation since 1876 will ensure you never go hungry!

  7. Explore Kirwan’s Lane

A post shared by Rachel Dubber (@racheldubbergalway) on Oct 10, 2016 at 8:22am PDT

Kirwan’s Lane is named after one of Galway’s 14 so called ‘tribes’. The Kirwans had helped develop Galway into a busy commercial center during the 1500s, and so it is only fitting the lane has been restored, pumping new life into the city once more. Enjoy your time here wandering along, looking at the cafes, craft shops, and studios.

8. Spend some time at the Galway City Museum

If you really want to get to know about the city, you should spend some time at the Galway City Museum. Here, you can learn about the city’s history which stretches all the way back to the Norman invasion. There are a number of exhibitions both permanent and temporary which showcase the city and surrounding area’s heritage and archaeology. Spread out over three floors, the museum contains numerous artifacts, some religious items and an interesting maritime collection. It’s certainly worth a good hour or so of your time.

  9. Eyre Square

  Love Christmas in Galway. Some vibe.. #galway #funtimes #ireland #travelireland #xmas #market #eyresquare

A post shared by Shane O Malley (@shaneomalleyinsta) on Dec 3, 2014 at 1:17am PST

The chances are that you will pass by Eyre Square more than once during your stay in Galway city. Also known as the John F Kennedy Memorial Square, the two major landmarks here are the Browne Doorway and the Quincentennial Fountain. As a pedestrianised area, it is a central focal point from where to orientate yourself, and a nice place to simply take some time out to enjoy a nice sunny day.

  10. Galway Cathedral

Completed in 1965, Galway Cathedral is the last stone Cathedral to have been built in Europe. It is an impressive sight, and is jointly dedicated to St. Nicholas and Our Lady Assumed into Heaven. The cathedral is of course open to the public and there are Sunday masses.

  @thewildatlanticway ・・・ Scattered along Ireland’s west coast are a myriad of islands. Hundreds are uninhabited, but on many you’ll meet islanders keeping the culture and traditions of their land alive.picture by @walterbiggins #aranislands #wildatlanticway#loves_ireland #loveireland #wanderireland #inspireireland_#bestirelandpics #discoverireland #irishpassion #ireland_groom #viewireland #Clare #green #cliffs #sea #irishphotographers #photographersofireland #sky#instaireland

A post shared by Aran Islands (@aranislands.ie) on Apr 13, 2018 at 5:20am PDT

On leaving Galway City…. Galway City is a good place to access the nearby Aran Islands. The regular ferry service leaves from Ros a’ Mhíl just a few miles up the road on a regular timetable that allows for both day trips and overnight stays. Whilst some people choose to visit for a day trip, spending a couple of days or longer on the islands is the perfect way to really get away from everything.

Inis Mor is the largest of the islands, and has a range of accommodation, including the excellent Camping and Glamping site. You could choose between taking your own camping gear or simply reserve one of the unique glamping units for the duration of your stay. Once on the island, you will feel a world away and much closer to nature. If you love the Great Outdoors and getting back to nature, spending some time on the Aran Islands will really help you to complete your Wild Atlantic Way adventure!

Galway City, Long Walk . Just a quick reminder that the 20% Easter Sale ends today. To go to the shop please follow link in the bio. . . I took this image on a frosty winter morning in 2008. Back then this famous Galway City landmark would have been in my 2km walking radius. . . I have photographed Long Walk many times but this image is still my favourite, and that’s because the light was just unbelievable. Even the parked cars seem in perfect harmony 😄 . . It’s been a long time since I have been to Galway with the lockdown in place. Can’t wait to get back there once things go back to normal. . . #nikon #d800 #nikon1424 #nikkor1424 #markusvoetter #thisisgalway #lovegalway #discovergalway #longwalkgalway #markusvoetterphotography #ireland #wintersun #wintersunrise #wildatlanticway (at Long Walk, Galway) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KPQ6LpnQN/?igshid=12o8iezag0st6

The regular ferry service leaves from Ros a’ Mhíl just a few miles up the road on a regular timetable that allows for both day trips and overnight stays. Whilst some people choose to visit for a day trip, spending a couple of days or longer on the islands is the perfect way to really get away from everything.

Inis Mor is the largest of the islands, and has a range of accommodation, including the excellent Camping and Glamping site. You could choose between taking your own camping gear or simply reserve one of the unique glamping units for the duration of your stay. Once on the island, you will feel a world away and much closer to nature. If you love the Great Outdoors and getting back to nature, spending some time on the Aran Islands will really help you to complete your Wild Atlantic Way adventure!

From our friends and partners at IsaAbroad @isaabroad - Our tour starts here, in the oldest part of campus. The Quadrangle or Quad for short opened its doors to 91 students in 1849. Since then, the student population has grown to over 17,000 of which 2,000 are visiting students, representing 93 countries around the world 🌍 @isagalway are proud to be part of this diverse and dynamic student body. If the Quad looks familiar, it may be because it is modeled on King's College in Oxford, where Harry Potter was filmed!
