The Gaeltacht area of County Galway offers an authentic insight into life through the Irish language, and the Aran Islands have a breathtaking beauty and an island atmosphere of their own.

On top of all this, Galway’s got great beaches, soaring mountains, lovely villages, fabulous pubs and some of the friendliest people in Ireland.

Epic coastlines, magnificent beaches and lofty mountain peaks, marvel at the epic scenery in County Galway. Visit the City of the Tribes and discover the rich history of its medieval stone walls.
