The Jurys Inn Quick Guide To Galway
Galway epitomises the West of Ireland. Hugging the beautiful sandy beaches of Galway Bay, looking left to the rugged Clare coastline and right to Mayo, it sits on the edge of Connemara’s wilderness and offers a warm welcome to friends and strangers. The friendly vibe, the compact, mazy streets, the constant cultural happenings make it a dynamo for visitors all year round. From the world-famous Galway Races, to the world-famous Galway Arts Festival to the world-famous Oyster Festival, you really have to get there to understand why it’s, well, world famous!

From the prom at Salthill to the trad music sessions in the pubs and taverns of Quay Street, the open air theatre to the frequently heard native Gaelic tongue, Galway has always shared its hospitality, its reputation for great seafood and its love of the craic, which translates simply as good fun. Historically known as the City of the Tribes, from centuries of peaceful prosperity under the watch of fourteen ruling families, it’s a town that’s small in size and population but leaves a big impression in the minds and hearts of visitors from all over the world.
There’s something for every visitor, from archaeology to high-end R&D centres of excellence in biomedics and computer technology, from beautiful scenic city walks to breathtaking trips to the Aran Islands. Easy access by road and air has brought Gaway closer to the world, but despite its proximity it’s still a place the likes of which you won’t find anywhere else.
