An amazing and vibrant neighborhood that you must visit when you come to Galway. It is famous for its iconic buildings and architecture, its shops, its many great restaurants and pubs, and the “night scene” with plenty of live music and street performances. (Street performers are known as “buskers” and they perform a wide variety of local and traditional music, as well as other favorites) Plan on spending several hours here to explore, and try to visit during the day for lunch and a drink, then return later in the evening for the “night crowd.” It’s a very short walk from the harbor, and many people visit here after a day cruise to the islands.
