Galway, Ireland

Galway (Irish: Gaillimh) is the county town of County Galway on the west coast of Ireland. It's Ireland's fourth largest city, with a population in 2016 of 79,934, but its historic centre on the east bank of the River Corrib is compact and colourful. It's a party town, with live music and revellers spilling onto its pedestrianised central street, and it's also a base for exploring the scenic surrounding county.

Galway (jointly with Rijeka) was the "European Capital of Culture" for 2020.
