Be part of celebrations galore, as a bunch of medieval towns host Irish festivities throughout the year, and the Claddagh ring still symbolizes love! The city of Galway along River Corrib, lies midway on the famous Wild Atlantic Way. An ideal base for excursions around, its traditional music and cosmopolitan lifestyle entertain people of all ages.
