Galway is a real cultural hotspot, and there are plenty of museums, theatres and art galleries where you can soak up the vibrant arts scene.
The city is bursting with ‘craic’ (Irish word for fun/enjoyment) and you can't venture too far through the city streets without coming across a traditional music session!
There are also many exciting events taking place each year, such as the Galway Races, Galway International Arts Festival and the Galway Oyster and Seafood Festival. If you seek something that is a bit more off the beaten track, you could take a trip to Connemara or the Aran islands!
