Galway is a small, lively city at the edge of the west, the gateway to Connemara and the Aran Islands.
Walk Shop Street and Quay Street to the Spanish Arch and the Galway City Museum. Listen to buskers and traditional sessions in the pubs. Visit St Nicholas' Church, where Columbus is said to have prayed, and walk the seafront promenade to Salthill. Hear Irish spoken in the shops and on the streets.
