Welcome to the
‘City of Tribes’
Fourteen families once dominated the political, commercial, and social life of the city, and they inspired a Capital of Culture that grew around them and gave way to more tribes. Now, the remnants of the medieval town walls burst with energy and creativity, with established links to universities, R&D institutions, a diverse commercial base, a creative economy and a distinct identity.
Galway is recognised for it’s charm and vibrancy in abundance.
Situated along the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’, this compact and engaging city is the gateway to the unspoiled wilderness of Connemara and several historic islands. Galway provides you with a memorable backdrop with crystal clear coastlines, mountainous surroundings, and a bohemian city centre at your doorstep.
‘Wild, mountainous country, in every way magnificent’ - Oscar Wilde
From the city, escape to the unspoiled wilderness of much-loved Connemara (inlets of the sea). A remote location with a tapestry of lakes, roaring coastlines, white sandy beaches, and the warmest of welcomes.
Surrounded by the wild Atlantic elements
Why not push the boat out and experience the islands? Jagged cliffs with jaw dropping depths, ancient forts, Celtic churches, and heritage that go back thousands of years. Take to the coastal paths and visit secret shores as you immerse in the raw history of Ireland.
Testimonials

'I fell in love with Galway in my time there, and it was not just the food or the architecture but the people. Everyone I worked with was just lovely, and it felt more genuine than what I typically see, even in the hospitality industry. I appreciate everything you did to help make our event a success, and I hope that I have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.'
