Friendly people. Lots to explore. Great music, culture, bars, a general feel good place. The weather can be hit and miss sometimes just be prepared. "There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes!"

We prefered to eat and drink in the West End and stayed clear of Shop Street other than when we hit the artists market where we could get locally made stuff. We had great food at Universal and grabbed drinks at the Bierhaus. We listened to fabulous music at the Crane- go for the experience (go upstairs) if nothing else! If you want to go to the Aran Islands, I recommend the Aran Island Ferries. They leave right from Galway Docks and take you to Inishmore. You get about 4 hours on the island (enough to take a horse and cart (a must!) to Dun Aonghasa and back but not much else) then it picks you up and returns via the Cliffs of Mohr. If you want longer or want a different island you'll have to go to one of the other ports (Doolin or Rossaveel) that will take you a while to get to. The weather was incredible, so we were outside the whole time and walked on the promendade to Salthill each night. We didn't have a car- the traffic was pretty heavy, so I was very glad we were on foot. If you do have a car, I would recommend parking at wherever you are staying and walking everywhere else if possible. If we had more time we would have ventured to Spiddal and to Connemara National Park, but we felt we had enough time to see Galway itself.

Galway is one of the best places we have been to and a favourite spot for our 1 or2 day trips very good for shopping and restaurants it’s a lovely city and one of our favour eating cafes is the Quays (the darling girl)and the Skeffington hotel (the Skeff) and Mcswiggens restaurant and the Ayer sq hotel

I found the hotel great. It was 10 min drive to city center for shopping cafe and pubs. And salthill beach was 10min drive also. Great location to be able to do a range of activities for couples or families The hotel was great very child friendly

Heard for many years that Galway is a beautiful romantic place and always wanted to go there. Now I've been, and I won't be going back. Average looking place, nothing to really do, everything is very expensive and overpriced, especially the food. Some of the buildings are kinda cool, but the famous landmark road with the painted houses is literally 3 houses painted a colour and you will need to photoshop a bit of contrast to your photo afterwards!
