Galway City
Galway City, at the mouth of Galway Bay, is both a picturesque and lively city with a wonderful avant-garde culture and a fascinating mixture of locally owned speciality shops.
The city has many relics of its medieval past and is worth taking time to explore. It has changed considerably over the last number of years and features a fascinating juxtaposition of new and ancient architecture. The centre of the city is conveniently compact enough to ramble around comfortably.
Anyone who knows the song ‘Galway Bay‘ will be familiar with the Claddagh, previously a fishing village of thatched cottages, now an area just outside the city centre.
Here is the birthplace of the world famous Claddagh ring, a band of gold or silver with a motif of two hands clasping a crowned heart. This is a symbol of friendship, fidelity and love, a souvenir many bring home, just to keep a little piece of Galway with them always.

By the time your tour is over you will understand why Galway is so special and why you will want to return again and again. I am so lucky, I live here.
