Groupon’s Guide To Galway

Known as ‘Ireland’s Cultural Heart’, Galway is famed for keeping all things Irish alive, including traditional music, langue and dancing, by means of its spirited festivals, events, architectural and historical patrimony.

A thriving heritage tourism is based around landmarks dating back all the way to the Middle Ages, such as Lynch’s Castle and the early 14th century St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church. Sitting on the southwest side of Galway there is the Spanish Arch, now partially showcased in the Corbett Court shopping centre, whereas the Menlo Castle still calls forth the name of the historical Blake family. The remains of Claddagh count as the oldest vestiges of the city, and though the heritage is virtually razed to the ground, the spirit of the place is kept alive via the Blessing of the Bay, an ancient ritual yearly performed on the last Sunday before the Assumption. The Eglinton Canal and the Salmon Weir Bridge spanning the River Corrib provide pastimes popular with the locals and visitors alike, but a city tour cannot be complete without visiting the Galway City Museum, the James Mitchell Museum of Geology, The Little Museum of Dublin, the Nora Barnacle House Museum, honouring the life of James Joyce’s lifetime partner.
