Galway is the capital of the West of Ireland. The streets and buildings of this ancient town have many interesting features,
and its position on the edge of the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking area) makes it the gateway to magnificent areas such as
Connemara, Corrib country, and the Aran Islands. The city itself is a continuing centre of growth with its University, Institute of Technology, Theatres, Cathedral, Castle, Hotels, Docks, Industries as well as other interesting attractions.
Recently, the city centre of Galway has been closed to traffic in order to allow for the enjoyment of the city's narrow shopping streets. Parking in Galway is best done in the multi-storey
car parks which are marked on this map. if you park on the street you will need parking discs which allow you park for a
certain period of time. This time period is street specific and is posted at each street junction.
Inis Mór is the biggest of the
three islands, covering
approximately sixteen square
miles. Situated on the west
coast of Galway, about thirty
miles out in the Atlantic
Ocean, the island offers a
whole new meaning to the word
'paradise'.
Inis Mór Ferries
departs from Ros a Mhíl (Rossaveal),
a village 20 miles west of
Galway City. The coast road
allows for fabulous views of
Co. Clare and the Burren
across the bay and approaching
views of the Aran Islands in
the distance.
