10 Historic Sites in Galway That You Shouldn't Miss
For visitors, the best thing about Galway is that you can walk everywhere. As soon as you arrive, enjoy a walk through the city streets. There, you'll find lively pubs, independent shops and winding cobblestone streets packed with students, artists, writers and craftspeople. You may even hear Gaelic spoken. For a day trip, take a ferry to the island of Inis Mor. You'll return refreshed by the ocean air and Inis Mor's breathtaking scenery. Oh, and be sure to wear sunscreen on the island, no matter how chilly it is. (Just trust us, okay?)

This mall is the creation of an efficient idea and enormous imagination! Juxtapositioning ancient with modern architecture, the old wall weaves through the new modern subterranean passages with dazzling shops and relaxation areas. What a delight! The entrance we used was devoid of grandeur -- a nice easily negotiated escalator ride down to the shops level. But so much sprawling activity under the ancient cobblestones above!! Construction was still going on as they excavate more of the original wall and towers -- I can't wait to go back and see what comes next. This is truly the brain child of someone or persons of extraordinary vision. It is a must see in Galway.
