Galway International Arts Festival 2018
Ireland’s most charming city comes alive every July, as extraordinary descends on its medieval streets. Known as the City of the Tribes, the home of Galway International Arts Festival is renowned for its welcome and has been voted the ‘World’s Friendliest City’ by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine. For more information, see:
A vibrant university city, a UNESCO City of Film, Galway hosts the European Region of Gastronomy in 2018 and will become the European Capital of Culture in 2020.
Easily accessible from Dublin and Shannon Airports, visitors to Galway can explore the city’s rich heritage, enjoy spectacular views of Galway Bay, take cruises on the River Corrib or tour out along the Wild Atlantic Way. They can soak up the scenery in Connemara, enter another world on the Aran islands or take in the Cliffs of Moher.
But for two packed weeks every year, over 210,000 visitors and locals enjoy the key cultural event on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. Named by The Guardian as ‘One of the Top Five Summer Festivals in Europe’ in 2017, Galway International Arts Festival includes music, theatre, street, dance, opera, the visual arts and an extensive talks programme.
Visitors can hear Ireland’s finest traditional musicians and experience exhibitions by internationally renowned and emerging visual artists who have taken up residency in festival galleries.
They can come face-to-face with fire-breathing dragons, hear giant, soprano-singing divas on cobblestone streets, watch the curtain rise and fall on international world premieres, catch new Irish theatre before it goes on to tour the globe, see world-class dance acts, genre bending opera and top international music acts.
By night, they can eat in top-rated restaurants (including Michelin starred restaurants), an array of quirky local eateries and enjoy a fire-side drink in Galway’s cosy city centre bars.
They can then retire to a wide offering of accommodation options around the city and wake up to do it all over again.

On this episode of Traveling with Krushworth
My first stop is Galway, County Galway
Before adventuring into the countryside.
Travel with me and walk the streets of this Irish-speaking city.
Immerse yourself in the music and culture
On a stroll through the Latin Quarter. Don’t miss the historic King’s Head Pub.
Sit for a while in Eyre Square, walk through the Spanish Arch
A part of the medieval system of walls, or cast a line into the River Corrib,
I’m in the medieval city of Galway
And as you can see, I’m walking down the heart of the centre itself.
There’s pubs, there’s buskers, there’s music everywhere.
There’s someone just setting up here.
It is an amazing place, but as I’m walking around
And showing you some of the things to see,
I hope you have a great time Traveling with Krushworth
Alright, thanks again and see you soon.
A city of faith both new and old, Galway has an ages-old medieval past.
The church of St. Nicholas, a saint revered by mariners
Was visited by Christopher Columbus in 1477.
Reflect upon the past, but the city truly lights up
When a favourite rugby team wins big.
So if you couldn’t tell, it’s Sunday and I found the weekend market.
Which takes place throughout in the summer time.
There’s food, there’s art vendors
It is quite the sight and it stretches on for quite a long ways.
Alright I’ll continue on. See you later.
Spend time at Salthill's oceanside promenades and then bid farewell to Galway.
Venture into the alien Burren region, a landscape inhabited
By early people for thousands of years.
The Burren in County Clare is an alien-like landscape
Known for its ancient inhabitants who scratched out their existence upon the rocks.
The Neolithic portal tomb at Poulnabrone stitches together a tapestry
Of Ireland’s first farmers, a society with archaic, but telling death rituals.
Upon your visit to medieval Kilfenora, it’s easy to see why
Travelers are enthralled with the religious high crosses.
Gaze at the Doorty Cross and marvel at the 12th century cathedral ruins.
Alright, well it was a long trip by bus
because of course, I can’t apparate like Dumbledore and Harry Potter did.
But if you guys are fans of Half Blood Prince, this was
One of the locations in the film for Voldemort’s Horcrux,
You know, the scene in the cave
But I’ll show you more as I’m walking around
See you later.
Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands
Continues to offer visitors a quintessential Irish experience
As soon as the ferry lands at the pier.
Before the adventure begins, travelers should
Explore quaint, picturesque Kilronan town.
For those who want to further connect with this ages-old landscape,
Rent a bicycle from the shop near the ferry dock before
Setting out for the island’s treasured hill fort, Dun Anghosa.
Populated since 3,000 BCE, the Aran Islands are a world of Stone Age forts
Wedge tombs, early Christian religious sites
And a land of storied tradition and immense heritage.
Climb the rocky hill to Dun Aonghosa, a stone fort originally built in 1,100 BCE.
Walk through the gates, and carefully stand, or crawl
To what the ancients saw as the world’s edge.
Perched precariously on this bleak outcropping overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
This must-see hill fort is a reminder of a turbulent past,
But also of a people who built an engineering marvel.
