Local Amenities

Galway is a unique City and has many activities to offer visitors.  Although the Galway has become a city it is still known to many local as a 'town'. It is a warm friendly 'town',   typical of west of Ireland folk.   The city itself is small in size and has been paved and pedestrianised in 1999/2000.   Since no traffic flows through the town it has become Mardi Gras atmosphere especially in the summer months.

Artistic groups such as Macnas, the Druid Theatre Company and the Galway Arts festival organisation have helped to generate an international awareness of the city's attractions and the many restaurants tend to reflect this spirit of internationalism.  'The City of the tribes' is an interesting experience . Its vibrancy can be accounted for by the fact that it has a large population of young people which is supplemented by an influx of students during the academic year and an influx of backpackers and tourists during holiday periods.

There are many events held throughout the year , including the Arts festival,  the famous Galway Horse Racing event in July and the Oyster Festival are few to mention.     Listed below are a few amenities to pursue:

Please note we can arrange tours to the Burren in Co Clare and day trips to Connemara and the Aran Islands.
