Galway

Galway is our preferred city in Ireland. When you get to the West, you feel as though you have found the real Ireland. Music pours out onto the streets and the Guinness flows like water.

Rugby Tours To Galway

There is a saying in Ireland, that 'the west, is best.' Modestly put, and far easier on the ear when spoken in a Galwegian accent, we must admit to agree.

When you walk into Galway and the surrounding Connacht countryside, you get a feeling that you have arrived in the real Ireland. This is generally highlighted for groups arriving in the west after a stay in Dublin. Throughout day and night, the city seems to have an up-beat fiddle-led soundtrack, 'folk' are a lot friendlier, and the Guinness flows like water.

No visit to Galway would be complete without a venture into Connemara or down to the Cliifs of Moher. Tied in with a match fixture, a round of Atlantic links Golf or a Cruise along Moher can be topped up with a rural Pub Lunch. Or try attending for a game in the Spotrsground, the home of Connacht RFC
