Galway is one of the cultural centres of the Irish west coast, known amongst other things for street music. The colourful city can get crowded on weekends. In many pubs you can listen to live music and of course sample the famous black beer. It is also gateway to the fascinating landscapes of Connemara.

Galway's street musicians

Highlight • Settlement

Galway is just great in all seasons. There are numerous great bars with live music and some hostels. However, since the song Ed overflowed a bit. Even in February it is great.

Galway Cathedral of Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and Saint Nicholas

Highlight • Religious Site

Construction began in 1958 on the site of the old city prison. It was completed in 1965, making it the last large stone cathedral to be built in Europe. It was jointly dedicated to Our Lady Assumed into Heaven and to St. Nicholas.

The cathedral's architect was John J. Robinson, who had previously designed many churches in Dublin and across the country. The cathedral's architecture draws from many influences. The dome and columns reflect a Renaissance style.
Other features, including the rose windows and mosaics, reflect the broad tradition of Christian art.
At 44.2 meters (145 feet) tall, the cathedral's dome is a prominent landmark on the city's skyline.
