A walk along Corrib is recommended. Sometimes it seems a bit like scenes from Venice or Amsterdam - houses with boat instead of car garages and otherwise just very beautiful.

The Irish name of the river and city of Galway is Gaillimh. A legend has it that the daughter of a Fir-Bolg clan chief was named Gaillimh and gave the river its name. Another legend derives the name from the Irish word gall (stranger). This can only be traced back to the Anglo-Normans, who founded the settlement that would become Galway in 1232 AD. The settlement's original name was Dún Bun Gallimhe, or 'the village at the mouth of the Galway (river)'; it was in what is now Claddagh, outside the city walls. The river gave the name to the village, which grew into a town and from 1570 passed the name on to the county. In English, however, the river is named after the lake of the same name Corrib.
