Galway City - An Introduction
Growing from a castle built by Richard de Burgo in the 13th century, Galway soon became home and main trading post to some of the richest Anglo-Norman merchant families. Today, the city is dominated by youth - Ireland has one of the youngest populations in Europe in general and Galway can boast a sizeable student population in addition.
Killary Cruises
If you want to experience Killary Harbor, Ireland's only fjord, you can simply drive along the coastal road and look across the water. A far better way to enjoy the landscape is from the water. You can enjoy the panorama unfolding with all senses, take time out from driving and simply enjoy.
Kylemore Abbey (County Galway)
You'll have to stop at Kylemore Abbey if you are in the vicinity, even if just for a quick snapshot of the main building from across the lake. A closer look might have you wondering what the fuss is all about, but the first impression counts!
