University
by Mandy23
National University of Ireland-Galway - Initially called Queen's College Galway, Galway's central university was designed and built by the architect J.B. Keane during the Great Famine. However, it didn't open its doors to students until October 1884. Women students were first permitted to enroll in 1906, and the first woman to receive an engineering degree in Ireland received it at this university.
The campus has recently expanded to accommodate its increasing student body. Most of the university buildings range in age from the mid-19th century to the brand new Millennial Arts building. The original structure, a 19th-century, neo-Gothic quadrangle, is well worth seeing.
You can take a ferry from here...
by husain
You can take a ferry from here to get yourself to the aran islands, home to some of the most ancient pre-Christian remains in Ireland. Of the three islands - Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer. Inishmore- dun aengus, is the most popular with the tourists. The islands' isolation had allowed Irish culture to survive when it had all but disappeared elsewhere.
Also,...from galway, you can drive on to the cliffs of moher.
pubs of galway
by frankie_ireland about others
for trad music stick to shop st and quay st and some of the lanes of them, it's everywhere!!! for a more fancy, up market type pub try "the living room" at the bottom of shop st or "the cellar" on eglington st and finally "bar 903" on eyre sq. no dress codes apart from in up market pubs, shoes etc are a help there but if you're stopped by door men it's usually cos you're off your face drunk.
Below the Great Southern Galway Hotel
by DrexelDragon about O'Flaherty's
Comfortable place. Food was good and not outrageously priced. Wasn't very crowded, so I had a good view of the big screen TV for the Celtic vs. Rangers match. More people came in as I was leaving around 3:30pm.
The Burren
by bluesmama
Close to Galway is the strange landscape of The Burren. To me it looks really inhospitable but there were actually lots of different plants when you took a closer a look.
It was quite difficult to walk on the rocks, you really had to watch your step.
