Galway city is an ancient and historic city with much to offer visitors, both young and old. Since the pedestrianisation of its centre, its winding streets and pleasant atmosphere lend an air of Irish hospitality to the city.
Drawing visitors from all over the world, Galway boasts many internationally recognised events,
festivals and regular shows, with an infamous collection of street artists and buskers. Among the events
are the Arts festival, the Oyster Festival, where you can sample delicious oysters and the finest Guinness stout,
and the Galway races.
'The City of the tribes' so named after the twelve tribes who ruled Galway during the middle ages, is
surrounded by scenic and historic locations, and blessed with balmy weather by the gulf stream blowing
across from the Carribbean.
