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...

👍👍 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

😐 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...
