City of Galway | Gaillimh | Ireland’s Cultural Heart | Spanish Arch | Galway Cathedral | Ireland

Galway, a harbour city on Ireland’s west coast, sits where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s hub is 18th-century Eyre Square, a popular meeting spot surrounded by shops and traditional pubs that often offer live Irish folk music. Nearby, stone-clad cafes, boutiques and art galleries line the winding lanes of the Latin Quarter, which retains portions of the medieval city walls.
Following a period of decline, as of the 21st century, Galway is a tourist destination known for festivals and events including the Galway International Arts Festival. In 2018, Galway was named the European Region of Gastronomy. The city was the European Capital of Culture for 2020, alongside Rijeka, Croatia.
Galway is known for being Ireland's “Cultural Heart”. You'll find tons of festivals all year-round, and this is the best place for traditional Irish music. It's also in the middle of the Wild Atlantic Way and provides a great point from which to enjoy Ireland's coastal gems.
