Bongos and Beer By the Bay

Advantages: Great atmosphere, beautiful scenery, plenty to see and do!
Disadvantages: Umm... nope can't help you there!

...ambience, I was hooked on Galway right from the start. Prettier than Cork, livelier than Killarney and more relaxed than Dublin, this is definitely the town I felt most at home in during my husband Dave’s and my recent trip to Ireland.

Galway City (or Gaillihm) is described by Lonely Planet (Europe on a Shoestring, 1st edition, March 1999) as “a pleasure, with its old stone and wooden shop-fronts, good restaurants and busy ...
...so on our arrival at Galway bus station we consulted our trusty little map (one of the website’s better features) and set off for the hostel. [We were almost immediately set upon by a tout handing out flyers for a hostel considerably closer to the station and only IR£7/night, but never mind…]

The Barnacles Quay wasn’t that bad really – good kitchen, modern security, TV room, free luggage storage etc – ... more

Galway

Advantages: Great atmostphere in bars & on the street, relaxed place, loads of pubs,
Disadvantages: Not a great deal to do

...only spent 1 night in Galway but what a contrast to Dublin. Having been to Ireland over 10 times and spent most of it in Navan & Dublin, it was nice to go somewhere different. Getting There>>>>>>> Situated on the West Coast, Galway is about 3 hours drive from Dublin. It's meant to be 2.5 hours by train, but ours took 5 hours (not nice). If drivings not for you, then a coach goes from O'Connell Street every hour, costs 9 punts one way or 12 ...
...best but quite cheap. Secondly, Galway isn't massive, so you'll run out of things to do, unless all you want to do all day is drink. Accomadation>>>> As in most cities varies, there's loads of B&B's just outside the centre (500m-1km) or in the summer, some nice looking accomadation is available at the uni. There are a number of hotels out on the coastline too, the choice is yours. Cheaper, hostels are also to be found in the city too. Food & Drink>>>> ...

Confession of a Galwaymaniac

Advantages: A great base for touring and a city full of life and vitality.
Disadvantages: Patchy public transport and some ugly ribbon building.

...of Ireland. Not that Galway feels 'safe' in a stodgy kind of way. We didn't go for the nightlife but there was a buzz about the place that hit us as soon as we stepped off the train. Now what is this thing called a 'buzz'? We couldn't quite work it out to start with, but then it dawned on us: we were a couple of dinosaurs abroad in a modern landscape. Galway is a young city, full of young people. It's a city too, with more than its share of teething ...
...Not that the other Galway is far away. All paths in Galway seem to lead back to Eyre Square, dominated by the imposing Great Southern hotel, with Kennedy Park at its centre, commemorating John F Kennedy's visit to Galway in 1963. It was the quiet things about Galway we liked. We watched the swans that populate the river Corrib, where it enters Galway Bay. Most people go for the jewellery and knitware that the region is famous for but we found other ...

Galway City is Great

Advantages: compact, diverse activities,pubs live music
Disadvantages: can be expensive,

...have been coming to Galway for over ten years now and have seen massive changes some good and some bad. As a tourist destination i believe it offers some great activities and as the years go on there seems to be more and more stuff happening. Obviously though the major attraction is the relaxed atmosphere and friendliness.Of course the pubs have a lot to do with this especially on sunny days when everyone spills out onto the street. If you haven't ...
...pub scene is like. Galway City sometimes gets accused of not having much to see as the core is quite small. While somewhat true there is plenty to fill up a few days if you go looking for it. I would say the bus city tours are a waste of time as most of the good bits are pedestrianised so you end up on the outskirts in housing estates. If you want to discover some hidden stories and places take a walking tours with http://galwaytours.ie I found them ...

Galway - not all it's craiced up to be

Advantages: Lots of pubs and restaurants.
Disadvantages: It's just another small town - and dodgy accounting.

...Ireland - Clare, Mayo and Galway - spending a night or two in B&Bs all over, with the last few spent in Galway. We wanted to see Galway as it has a good repuation for being a lively and lovely city, but after having seen all the natural beauty that the region has to offer, the city was a bit of a let down. If you're after somewhere to enjoy the pubs, restaurants and nightlife then you are spoilt for choice and sure to find something to your taste. ...
...so you can enjoy the panoramic views of the rooftops, then back along the seafront of Salthill into Galway. So, use Galway as a base for your evening entertainment, but don't waste time in it during the day when all the natural beauty of the region is on your doorstep. ...

Land of sheep

Advantages: Nature, landscapes, people
Disadvantages: Traffic, lack of cultural spots, Galway city

In the beginning of July 2001 my girlfriend and I went to Galway, Ireland. Galway (county) lies on the east coast of Ireland. Biggest town is Galway (the city) and most famous area Connemara. We cycled during a week through Galway and we discovered a wonderful land. In this opinion I will talk about our trip day by day, and I will try to give you some advice on the most interesting things to visit. PREPARATION Besides buying plane tickets, the only thing we did to prepare our trip was to buy 5 vouchers from “Town & Country Homes”. This formula is called “go-as-you-please”. Together with the 5 vouchers we got a book containing hundreds and hundreds of B&B’s through Ireland where we could use our voucher. This formula has some real advantages: 1) You need less cash during your trip ...

Review of County Galway (Ireland)

Failte go diaobh.

Advantages: It's a great city.
Disadvantages: People who visit come to see what isn't actually here.

. Or else cross the bridge, and visit Debenhams, Arnotts, Easons for a good read or some great antique stores if that suits your fancy. If you want nightlife, go to Temple Bar but if you want a real pub, you're better off going a bit out of Dublin. Visit the Clarence, Bono's Hotel and see luxury or go half an hour away to Straffan and visit Michael Smurfits hotel the K Club where the European Open is held and in 2006 the Ryder Cup will be held for afternoon tea, and if you want to see a bit of real culture, take a train or even a flight to Galway for a few days. It's a fantastic city, much safer than Dublin and much different to Dublin. Ireland has changed but not everybody knows that. I don't want to advertise us but we are building million euro houses, hotels, spending a fortune on designer clothes and putting ourselves on waiting lists ...
