Galway city(Back to top)


It's only a short stroll into the city centre where you can explore its historic streets and visit Galway Cathedral. Galway City is Ireland's fastest growing city, indeed one of the fastest in Europe. It began as a small fishing village centered around the estuary of the River Corrib. Galway is without a doubt a young persons city, students comprise around a fifth of the population. It is packed with beautiful restaurants and pubs and is rich in culture and heritage.

Salthill

Salthill is now an important suburb of Galway city. The giant Leisureland complex, with its host of children’s entertainments, including an indoor heated swimming pool, proves very popular. The golden half-mile of casinos, pubs and restaurants also plays its part by day and discos and musical pubs rule the roost at night.
