Quadrangle
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Quadrangle is the heart of the University of Galway, a 175 years old limestone building with a Tudor Gothic architecture based on Oxford's Christ Church. 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...

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

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...

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...

👍👍 I went to Pure skill earlier in the week and the customer service was exceptional. We were slightly delayed due to traffic, however the gentleman at reception was so kind and accommodating to us.

Merlin Park Woods
Wildlife park
👍👍 Beautiful park with lots of small paths to take.
Nice to walk the dog and to ride the bike or just for some walk. Lots of trees that I really hope they never put down. The only thing that I would complain about, is the amount of rubbish.

Wild Atlantic Workshop & Katie's Claddagh Cottage
Tourist attraction
👍👍 My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Elizabeth and experienced home cooked scones with home made jam, and a nice cup of tea. This place is well worth visiting as, there is lots to see and some truly unique crafts which you won't find elsewhere. For 3 euros or 5 euros with scones and tea, it rep...
