Lying on the River Corrib and Galway Bay, the city of Galway is located in the western part of Ireland and is the sixth most populous city. In 2020, Galway will be one of the European Capitals of Culture along with Rijeka in Croatia, so there’s no better time to visit than the present. Galway has been around since the 1100’s, therefore, the city has lots of old structures and traditions that both locals and guests can see and take part in. Popular landmarks around Galway include Lynch’s Castle, a medieval townhouse, and The Claddagh, the oldest part of Galway. Those barely scratch the surface of this amazing city so why not go and visit and while your there, stay in one of these amazing bed and breakfasts.
