Galway, on Ireland's west coast, is a lively, artistic city known for its colorful streets, traditional music and festivals. It is the gateway to Connemara, the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher.
The Latin Quarter
Shop Street and Quay Street are pedestrian streets full of buskers, pubs and colorful shopfronts. The Spanish Arch, part of the old city walls, stands by the River Corrib. The promenade to Salthill is a favorite seaside walk.
