GALWAY is the capital of the West of Ireland, a thriving modern University City, situated on the banks of the River Corrib. A uniquely cosmopolitan city with something for everyone, it attracts thousands of visitors each year. The popular seaside resort, Salthill, lies just 3km west of the city and boasts the longest promenade in Ireland!
During your visit to Galway you can join in the unique atmosphere and delight in its festivals, music, theatre, restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops and most of all, its friendly people.
It is an ideal base from which to explore the nearby rugged landscapes of Connemara, The Burren and the Aran Islands.
