Galway has scooped up the title of “one of the world’s top cities for travelers in 2020” in the latest Lonely Planet travel issue and it’s no surprise why. Galway is often described as a lively and engaging city, where “brightly painted pubs heave with live music” and “cafes offer front-row seats to watch buskers perform”. The city will also host numerous events in the upcoming European Capital of Culture celebrations beginning on February 1st. Planning 12 months of culture, both large-scale and intimate events, it starts with a week-long celebration in towns and villages across the county, culminating in a large public ceremony and spectacle on February 8th in Galway city.
Enjoy the live music at Tig Cóilí where the walls are decorated with musicians and artists who’ve played there before and where an abundance of live music draws the crowds in all day.
Or visit the Tigh Neachtain pub, where cozy timber wall frames and roaring fireplaces give any visitor a homey, genuinely Irish experience. Enjoy mouthwatering flavor combinations at Loam, where Galway’s culinary heart beats strongest and home-grown, locally sourced and foraged ingredients rule. No matter who you are, Galway will have something special for you and early next year and will only be more vibrant and special than ever.
Plan your trip ahead of time and make sure you get accommodation early as Galway, and the rest of Ireland, will surely draw a lot of traffic and travelers soon.
