Dublin always steals the show when Irish cities are being talked about. While it may be the capital of the Irish Republic, it's not the only city of note. Galway is over on the country's west coast and is just as cosmopolitan but still retains its true Irish character. Explore Galway and you'll come across parts dating back to medieval days that, although they're undoubtedly ancient, have a modern vibe with great boutiques, antique shops, and plenty of traditional Irish pubs where drinking anything other than a pint of dark stout is considered a sacrilege.
Galway is a city that celebrates its long ago, and not so long ago, past in some very diverse museums where the exhibits are as varied as live fish and computer consoles. You'll also be pleased to know that the restaurants in Galway have a lot more on their menus than dishes made from potatoes these days too, and if you don't mind forking out for the experience, you can even go to some that have earned their Michelin star.
The streets of this Irish city were not designed for suitcases on wheels. If you don't want to lose yours – the wheels not the suitcase that is – leave your luggage at a Bounce luggage storage service in Galway. It'll save you the expense of having to buy a new one.

The Irish are renowned for being multifaceted characters and that's something that's reflected in the unusual collection of museums in Galway. Even the word diverse doesn't really sum up the museums you'll be able to visit here, so be prepared for eye-opening and brain-teasing moments.
Galway is still a little old-fashioned in some parts where shopping is concerned and in others totally modern. In this Irish city, you'll be able to wander down shop-lined cobbled streets and alleys, browse indoor shopping centers full of top name stores, and run across undeniably quaint curiosity shops that will have you grinning from ear to ear with what you find in them.
It can be quite cold a lot of the time in the west of Ireland and so food tends to be on the rib-sticking hearty side most of the time. Traditional dishes like pies made from beef cooked in Guinness accompanied by sides of mash potatoes or the proverbial chips or creamy soups made from locally caught seafood are common. There are plenty of restaurants in Galway that offer fine dining too, so it's a case of checking what's on the menu before you take a table to make sure they're serving food that suits you and your wallet.
