Galway city
We liked very much this silent city. This is Irland, not Dublin. Is very strictly connected to the most beatiful site in ireland!

The Real Irishmen
I was only in Galway for one day and one night - took the bus to Dublin. I had heard some from the west coast claim that they were the real Irish, and I must say, there may be something to that. Be sure to take a walk along the river. There are few sights to see in Galway. So if you are only there for a day the charm is in just walking around and enjoy the culture - great food, drink and music. The church of St Nicholas is nice and the museum is actually interesting if you are into that.
Insider Tip:No one has really gone to Galway until they've gone to the pubs. Really you can just pick any one that has trad music and lots of laughter coming from it. I picked Taaffee's and had a great time - even as a solo traveler. Also, the seafood is great. McDonagh's is right near the water. It looks abit touristy, but lots of locals eat there too simply because it is so good.

Rugged but fun!
The weather was cold, windy and wet - but it makes it all the more rewarding when you can duck into a warm pub for a decently priced pint! There were so many great pubs and shops along the cobbled streets and the people were very friendly. It's a beautiful city.
Ireland: Itinerary
Ireland is a very easy country to get around thanks to an extensive bus service which connects all major towns and cities. It also has a country wide rail service but for most journeys the bus is more flexible, frequent and most importantly, at least 50% cheaper than taking the train. It’s not a big country so you can easily make your way to the major cities but it certainly makes for an action packed seven days. Where better to begin your speedy tour than in ‘Dublin’s Fair City’ - the fun filled capital of the Emerald Isle. As well as the host of attractions on offer, the city can really only be appreciated by those who truly immerse themselves in the culture and there’s no better way to do this than by frequenting the host of the pubs and restaurants on offer. Sip on a pint of Guinness in its native home while listening to some Irish music or sampling traditional cuisine and you’ll know what we mean.
