Summer is just around the corner, shure why not head to this gem out wesht?!
Galway has so much going for it, here are few of the many reasons you need to go.
1. Scenic drives
Galway are ya well cos you're looking well?!
If you turn off the main roads, there's some gorgeous scenery to feast your eyes on, hello! From Sky Road, Clifden, (which is often described as one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the country) to Lough Corrib, to the drive from Inagh Valley to Killary Harbour, take your pick.
2. Galway Arts Festival
Galway International Arts Festival takes place from 15th- 28th July and this year's schedule looks unreal. During the Arts Festival, there's a creative buzz about the city and always something to see or two from plays, to gallery exhibitions and catching a gig in the evening, there is no better place to be.
