A balmy, bohemian city with a love of traditional music – Galway is hard to resist. The spirit of Ireland’s west coast beats through the bustling streets, from mellow old pubs boasting turf and cozy corners to shops selling Claddagh rings, Aran sweaters, and bog-oak carvings. On the other hand, you’ll find boundary-pushing chefs passionate about local ingredients, chic design stores, rolling street music, and a seriously vibrant film scene (Galway is a UNESCO City of Film). Visit during festival months, such as the Galway Oyster Festival in September, the Galway Arts Festival in July, or the Galway Film Festival in July. No matter the celebration, it genuinely feels like the entire city is one big party. But there are plenty of tranquil moments to be cherished in this medieval gem, too. Wander down age-old alleys, walk the coastal promenade to the seaside town of Salthill, or stroll over one of the River Corrib’s four bridges. Either way, you won’t be sorry if you stay awhile. Students can expect trips around the city and excursions to The Burren (Great Rock), Blarney Castle & Cork City, the Cliffs of Moher and the Alliwee Caves, and Connemara and its lakes.
