Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Galway, Western Ireland

November 21, 2021 Carley Gatson

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?)

The Galway Museum illustrates Galways's long history, going back to medieval times. Galway's connection with the sea is prominent. The modern era deserves well-earned attention. The Museum is by the river, it is easy to find. The museum is moderately large, it's worth a couple of hours. Entry is gratis.
