Why Galway City, Ireland
Galway City has grown up a lot since I last visited many years ago. It’s now a bustling city with lots to do, plenty of shopping and beautiful surroundings, it’s certainly worth a stop the next time you’re in Ireland. And Galway is the European Capital of Culture for 2020, so even more reasons to visit.
