What People Are Saying About Galway

Galway Bay

avatar
陶姐淘
When you travel to Ireland and visit the Cliffs of Moher, you must not rush back to Dublin. You must stay overnight in Galway, a small seaside town about an hour and a half drive from the Cliffs of Moher. This can not only avoid the long and tiring round-trip driving time from Dublin, but also allow you to see the most gorgeous sunset, the purest sky, the blue sea, and a beach alone, away from the crowds and noise, and quietly feel the charm of Ireland.

Cliffs of Moher

avatar
瀚海深处
The Cliffs of Moher are formed by the movement of the earth's crust and the impact of the Atlantic Ocean's raging waves. They are an unparalleled masterpiece of nature. Everyone who comes here will be impressed by its ingenuity. The highest point of the cliff is more than 200 meters above sea level. The cliff faces the vast Atlantic Ocean and is famous for its strangeness and danger. It spans 214 meters across the Atlantic Ocean and is 8 kilometers along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is spacious and vast, with strong winds. It is refreshing to climb up and look far into the distance.

Galway Cathedral

Galway Cathedral is the most important and largest church in the ancient city of Galway. The church is a typical Gothic building with a very large area. The decoration inside is not very luxurious, but it looks solemn. A large-scale mass is held here every weekend, and many believers will recite the Bible and pray here. It is worth visiting.

Spanish Arch

avatar
juki235
The Spanish Arch is the main attraction in the ancient city of Galway. It has a history of more than 400 years. It was originally part of the ancient city wall, and now only this gate remains. Now next to the Spanish Arch is the Galway History Museum, which is worth visiting.

Eyre Square

avatar
juki235
Located in the central city of Gaowei, El Square retains the remnants of many historic buildings, and forms a very distinctive sculpture that tells the history of the ancient city of Gaowei. It is also the soul of the city, this is the place to travel must pass, you can take some photos to show the memory.

Galway City Museum

avatar
juki235
The Gaowei City Museum is located within the famous Spanish arch, the entire museum is not very large, but he records the history of Gaowei Ancient City for nearly a thousand years. There are many cultural relics and literatures here, and the development of this ancient city is introduced in all aspects. It is worth visiting and understanding.
