The Latin Quarter
Tourist attraction
👍👍 There are few streets full of restaurants and bar with nice looking stile and good fish and beer! The area is also full of musicians that play on the street, creating a magical vibe!
The area is quite small and gets very crowded! Definitely worth a visit

Curry's Fun Park
Fairground
👍 Great fun fair for young and old kids. Rides are good fun. Quite expensive, but the kids loved it, that’s all that matters. Didn’t like the token system.
Plenty of hand sanitizers around and toilets with hand washing facilities.

Millennium Children's Park and Playground
Park
😠 Galway's first skatepark. Unchallenging layout that's in need of a design makeover to better cater to the growing community of local skaters and daily visitors.
Despite continuous feedback, user's demands for modern design changes were ignored by city council, better skateparks exist in smaller cou...

Aran Island Ferries
Ferry service
👍👍 READ FIRST
First off, I have to say the crew and ships were absolutely outstanding. The crew were attentive and smiling at every step, even after a long day of helping people throw away bags of puke. My wife had a rough trip over and they kept checking on her (and everyone else struggling), offerin...

Pure Skill
Sports complex
😠 I had my son’s birthday party here. There was one staff member on, trying to manage all the kids at various activities. I can't fault him, he did his best. My main issue was the manager who came in about half and hour later and immediately starting giving out to the children for not using the equipm...

Bridge
😐 Inaugurated on the 26th of May 2023
A new bridge for pedestrians only, parallel to the Salmon Weir bridge in Galway right in front if the Galway Cathedral.
The location is great but seems to be a functional bridge alone, with no decorations. Lovely place to sit down and enjoy the view of the Cathedr...

A big part of its walls are covered with ivy, which turns into a deep red colour, truly mesmerising and beautiful. It's open to the public and a m...
