Heading to one of Ireland's top cultural hubs? Good choice! In my guide, you'll find everything from must-see attractions, best of food & drink, hiking/nature, and of course the best places to stay! For a preview of the type of things you'll find in this guide, check out my free New Orleans & Florence guides.

I've come back to Galway, Ireland on three separate trips and have loved it more each time. I studied abroad here, came back to visit with my then boyfriend, and put this guide together after visiting with my now husband and our best dog, Copper. Most of the restaurants and pubs are not dog-friendly, unless you can sit outside. But the hikes, walks, and beaches and very dog-friendly, as are most of the people here.
