I 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 been before check out http://galwaycitypubguide.com to see what the 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 to be funny and interesting As for new activities you can go windsurfing at Rusheen Bay or sea kayaking in Galway Bay
