The compact city center, with its winding streets, packed pubs and air of celebration, is easily walked - or pubcrawled. The west coast city of almost 70,000 is home to merry bands of students, artists, writers and craftspeople, and is merriest during summer's Galway's Arts Festival. Don't miss shopping for Claddagh rings, the Druid Theatre or having a pint 'o' the black stuff at atmospheric Tigh Neachtain pub. « less
