videos, transcripts & photos at townsofeurope.... Galway, Connemara and Aran Islands in the west of Ireland and nearby sights. Galway is a lovely town, perfect for strolling along cobble-stone lanes lined with artisans shops, but even more attractive is the adjacent Connemara Peninsula, with Kylemore Abbey and Clifden, which we will thoroughly explore together.

The essence of Irish landscape is the beauty-of green fields bounded by miles of rock walls; ancient stone houses with thatch roofs; cows and sheep wandering freely. This is a wild region of mountains, lakes, tumbling streams, undulating peat bogs, unspoiled beaches, and panoramic views. It is a Gaelic-speaking region that has maintained its traditional character and kept the modern world at bay. The musical accent of the friendly locals will charm your heart in a way you can never forget.
The west of Ireland has for generations been considered one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and it seems that the beauty of the Connemara scenery is matched by the demeanor of its inhabitants. Galway has been voted the friendliest city in the world in a recent poll.
When you are in Clifden, stop by All Things Connemara for some Irish gifts, or to rent a bicycle for the day.

Ohhhh my goodness you've just given me the best gift a poor girl can have on a day like today.
you are not poor😑😑
I feel the same Shannon
You will love it. I'd highly recommend Galway and Aran Islands - The locals speak teh Irish language fluently...it's a rare thing to hear a language that may be dying out being spoken in every day life :-)

Go to Ireland, eat at a French restaurant. What the hell?
I ate a lot of Irish food also, love it, and French food is apparently not too popular there -- that restaurant is gone.

We love that Ireland has no skyscrapers.☘️
So dose Ireland
Wow, i want to know more about IRELAND, watching fr BAGUIO CITY PHILIPPINES w/ LOVE
Hi. I. Looking for new friends in west Ireland. Galway sligo. Limerick etc...
Here is a story connected with Aran Island sweaters, that was told to me many years ago. Never did get an opportunity to confirm it. In the old days when the islands were quite heavily populated, their main source of food and sustenance was fishing. This was carried out by the islanders using boats made of a wood/canvas combination, named "currachs", extremely light and could be carried by the fishermen up on to dry land after a days fishing. The Atlantic could be very treacherous and many lives were lost over the centuries. The famous Aran Island sweaters were knitted to individually unique patterns which identified the home or family that knitted a particular design. Tradition had it that no Aran Islander ever learned to swim, due to the fact that being a swimmer only prolonged the agony of drowning in the fierce cold Atlantic. When the bodies washed ashore several days later they were identified by the stitched pattern on the bodies'. True or False? I don't know.
yes, that is the famous legend, must be true. Even today fishing in a small boat far at sea is among the most dangerous jobs.
True
I think true only because wool has the ability to keep you warm whilst being wet. Logically fishermen would wear local wool sweaters
Galway is a wonderful place
Also it's the River Corrib not Carib.Good link well done ow.
I love Galway! When things get better I am defo going back! ❤️ Sending love from the other side of Ireland 🇮🇪
Virtual Feats@ Galway is gay town and there's nothing there only dirt and alcohol..... Fk you
Landing in Shannon would be better.
Beautiful video. I love Ireland and am fascinated by its ancient history.
The city of Galway was hit by The Portuguese tsunami after an offshore earthquake in 1755. The Spanish Arch was damaged as well as other structures along the west coast.
How was that possible when the tsunami would of hit the east? lol
@@QTSweetFX no it wouldn’t have
Galway is Irelands biggest party town because of all the universities there. I had too much fun with the locals when i was there in Nov 2018
Woah that's great. Where are you from?
@@vimalcurio Canada 🇨🇦
@@xxvietbebe cool I wanted to move to Canada 🍁 Vancouver first but now I wanna move to Ireland 🇮🇪 lol because of tax haven and quiet culture and of course native English speakers
@@vimalcurio I don't think it's a tax haven
@@anthonym3351 yeah I was dumb I thought that. Sorry for my past stupidity.
I love Ireland beautiful💕
Nice video! Ireland is one of my favorite countries to visit!
Not living?
This is my Grandpa Home town , in fact our Family farm is still here . I am Lisa A Heanue granddaughter of Thos Heanue
The Aran Islands are very special, though it looks a lot more commercialised than when I was there 30 yrs ago. Stunning place.
very enjoyable production thank you.
Westport County Mayo pretty town and a great base for hill walking, island hopping, mountain climbing, fishing trips, great western greenway (45k cycleway), horse riding on the beach, exploring castles stately homes, numerous restaurants etc
Galway is full of pubs and live music, I thought it would be fun to stay here a night or two.
Connemara is not pronounced 'Cony mara'. the Y part is pronounced EM.
Great video, thanks 🎤🎬📽💕
Loved your video. Which tour did you take to go to the Aran Islands? What was the company name? Thanks
in chicago wear something green on st.pats. day!
Beautiful video. Thank you :)
Beauty of ireland love to go again 🌯
I really enjoyed how you interviewed the locals. Slainte!
Great review. We have an art gallery near the the Cliffs of Moher in Liscannor - Atlantic Way Gallery would love to see you on your next trip 😊
We used to get hammered down-the arch with a bottle of buckfast. Then into jury’s for a piss then off up cps
Dún Aengus was originally circular. The reason it's on the edge of a cliff now is due to coastal erosion.
Yes, there's a video on YT supporting this. I rate it highly plausible. But as far as I know there is zero academic for this view.
It's not it was a promontory fort it was a bit more then a semi circle
No I'll pass on cliffs
to boldly go where no Rick Steves has ever gone before!
I was born on Inishmore and like Dun Aengus my middle name is Aengus.
Hi would like to meet a female friend from South Africa? Coz I I'm dieing to meet a friend from Ireland , my name is Anita

As an Irishman working abroad I thank you for this beautiful video. Home is calling
Yeah I've lived away almost 13 years. Home is definitely calling.
Nathan Kirk yes born and reared in North Dublin, left in the 80s as I hated the patriarch and how much control the Catholic Church had there. But ready to go back,it’s changed a lot since then. ☘️😊
I don't drink. I just want to see the castles and laugh with the locals.
If you are coming to the West of Ireland make sure you Fly into Shannon Airport not Dublin, you have just a 30 Minute drive to Limerick, Galway or the Cliffs of Moher, Lahinch and Spanish Point.
Yeah just tell the pilot to land there on the way to Dublin.
Aer Lingus flys Toronto to Shannon airport! Thanks!
@ LOL - the Thanks was for Noel Naughton commenting to fly to Shannon Airport and not Dublin if you're visiting the West of Ireland....your comment was that Shannon is not connected to very many other airports - which it is :D
@ :D Wish I could go with you!!
Galway is an hour drive from Shannon not 30 minutes
So nice to watch, makes me homesick!
13:22 - "But you know, this is the Bronze Age. They wouldn't have expected running water in the same way we might today." Haha, I like the understated way the guide educates us. Nice video series. Thanks.
Spent 3 years there. Exept terrible weather everything was great.
Its pronounced kunamaara. Clon mak noise,
I am half Irish. I still would like to visit.
Eye-Ur-Land!
I was there 11 years ago. Great people! Loved it
Thanks Grandpa for this wonderful video and narration. Lovely...!!! Cheerio!!!
Brings back memories when I was there ,,,,,,,,,
Lovely. Thanks. My maiden name is Callan.
The patterns of the aran sweaters also gave indication of the wearers family connection, so that when fishermen were lost at sea and their bodies found at a later time, their remains could be identified by the individual designs on their sweaters.
Excellent 👍🏼 thanks looking at a possible move to this area from England
Hermoso Irlanda, uno de los Países que más amo en la Tierra

where does the wool come from to make the Aran Island sweaters? I see no sheep there. Or maybe they weren't filmed
There is no shortage of sheep in Ireland.
@@denniscallan okay thank you May GOD bless you and Ireland in these troubled times
Love this video, and the history of the place. 😊♥️
Connemara is pronounced ConnAmara not Connymara.
@@julesverne4629 remember the past don't live in it. Things will never get better. Take solace in the fact that Oliver Cromwell's corpse was dug up and hanged. We cannot go on apologising for our antecedents misdeeds forever. Don't let my avatar make you go thinking I am something that I am not.

Eyre Square , most popular in town and I see 9 people. Lol. Pedestrian walkway and you see 1 person
Beautiful Ireland ....l was told that the name" Galway "is Gaelic and means "Foreigners Way "in English .....not sure if this is correct.
From a county Derry person living in Canada.
Not exactly Pete. It comes from the Irish 'Gaillimh/Gallaibh' which was like the plural of 'Gall', gall meaning 'foreigner', so gaillimh or gallaibh means foreigners. So Galway was called the town of the foreigners basically.
Gall-- Dubh,, means dark foreigner, it was a regular description given to all settlers in Galway
Dark foreigner? Was there alot of gypsies thst lived there? Romany?
Going back centuries, Galway- Gaillibh was built and protected by 12 Anglo norman/ Welch families known as the tribes of Galway which appears to have assigned it to the title `` Foreigner`s Way`` .
nationalisation total!!!
All this is wonderful to see but, I would love to see a Yarn shop. As I am a Knitter and Crocheter.
There are plenty wool shops in every part of the country. So no need to worry😁
Thank you very much for the explanation, but if Gall means foreigners would Galway not mean foreigners way.
