It's very odd to see my city through the eyes of a tourist 😁 looks like ye got around anyways. Shame about the weather.
You did well with the titles, but what you called "The Salt House" is actually Monroe's. Salt House is a smaller pup across the road. No harm no foul.
Pop back again in early June or in August - the weather is generally better. Although this year it's been bucketing rain all of July 😭
Thanks for the correction. Yes, I got Monroe's Tavern off Fairhill Road Upper mixed up with The Salt House on Raven Terrace. I bet the tourists are heavy in the summer months. Living in the Las Vegas desert makes me think that people in Ireland will be much better off with all the climate change issues.
A fantastic video. Was a student in Galway (UCG, now U of G) for 4 years back in the 80s. Did part of my final exams in the Aula, which features at about 10:15. The weather you had is pretty typical for Galway. Happy memories - don't get back as often as I'd like.
I feel like the made a mistake changing it from NUIG to UG
I also did my university studies back in the 80s; seems so far away. I wasn't aware of all the name changes which apparently cause some confusion. Founded as Queen's College, Galway in 1845, then known as University College, Galway until 1997, then National University of Ireland, Galway until 2022. Now University of Galway.
It’s not pronounced “Gal” it’s like “Gaul”
Thank you.
Because the Irish is Gaillimh and that's just how people pronounce it
@@chairjacker Interesting. Had to look it up: The city takes its name from that of the river, the Gaillimh. The word Gaillimh means "stony" as in "stony river". Today, the river is commonly called the River Corrib, after Lough Corrib, just to the north.
Great tour of the city thanks for sharing
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment.
I'm a Dub, But I do Love Galway ♥♥♥

🎉Hello friend, Good day!! Your video blog is helpful for Galway trip
Very nice thank you for the journey amazing view well done 👍
Thank you so much.
I let my Galway girl slip through my fingers back in the 1980s; still think of her.
A lady we know from our pickleball club, mid-50s, told us she used to date a musician from Galway back in the day. Guessing she still has fond memories as well.
Oh so lovely, now i have to vist this wonderful town ❤
Definitely worth a visit and easy to reach via train.
Ya if u go u should think of gong to tuam it is 20 minutes out from Galway
@freyacarney9324 Interesting history. You must be moving if you can make the normally 44 minute trek in 20 minutes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuam
@@arthousecreations1 we use the moter way to go in and out
My favorite city was Gallway . My friends and I Vaca for a month in here. We went everywhere such a beautiful country and great friendly people ♥️🇮🇪 . Sheep 🐑 🐏 are everywhere and they were so cute
Wow, one month is a long time. Didn't see many sheep in Galway but Killarney had so many.
Yea were u at the shopping centre it's the best especially pennys
@freyacarney9324 Yes, Corbett Court Shopping Centre. So many shops. Great how they incorporated part of the old walls. Bought some items at Dunnes Stores.
❤❤❤ Ireland!

How did you visit the Cliff of Moher from Galway? Thank you
You have several options to visit the Cliffs of Moher from Galway. 1) take a tour, 2) take a boat, 3) drive, 4) train/bus, or 5) bike/walk. Lally Tours has some reasonable options.
given the coats seen, what month was this? I will be there next May
This was in April. At that time a light coat was fine with the occasional spurt of rain and wind.
Lol that is every month
Great video! Unfortunately the music isn’t Irish. The only tune that is Irish is ‘Banish Misfortune’. It probably an American group claiming to be irish(which isn’t a bad thing!) with perhaps some irish roots. When Irish music is played it’s doesn’t have a country or bluegrassy swing. It’s dryer without the flash the music does the talking. But top video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I currently don't have a large selection of music available for this channel as it isn't monetized so I generally work with free music. But appreciate your comments so that next time I can make a better effort to get more authentic music. Given that there are about 36 million ethnic Irish residing in the US, there always seem to be some type of Irish or Irish influenced bands playing locally. And the music ranges widely from the traditional to the hybrid mixes. I personally favor Irish punk bands like The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, etc. They even had an "Irish" band playing one day during our bike ride through Iowa. czcams.com/video/AGs7C7PWrcM/video.htmlsi=dC0Ktw9Dte4xWaYE&t=737
Don't worry , most Americans pronounce it incorrectly until told otherwise lol
I’ll be in Dublin and Galway first week of December 2023. Any advice or anyone also going around same time?
The weather and temperatures will be more of a challenge in December so dress warm and plan ahead for inside activities if needed. In Dublin the low will be around 37° and high of 47° with about 12 days of rain in the month. In Dublin I would visit the free National Gallery of Ireland and National Museum of Ireland-Decorative Arts & History. In Galway, I enjoyed exploring the Galway Cathedral and University of Galway. There are so many options. Have a great trip. I have several Dublin vidoes you can watch to get some ideas; just see the Ireland playlist.
@@arthousecreations1 thank you so much
Make sure to have a jacket with u at all times also don't expect snow we have frost and rain and wind it nice though have fun I live here
@@freyacarney9324 it sounds like weather in Seattle
@@matthewgyasi9881 lol
Really crappy weather it seems your entire visit! The past 20 years visiting Ireland, I seem blessed on the planet, just one or two days, rain or just a drizzle. That train journey from Dublin - is it still nearly 3 hr, the landscape is beyond boring.
The Galway portion was a bit rainy at times but not during the entire visit. The first evening had some light rain but the next day had no rain, just some wind. We were very fortunate during our entire visit to Ireland (Dublin, Belfast, Killarney) that we had some great weather in April. The train ride from Dublin to Galway was uneventful by train but there were a few interesting landscapes including sheep farms, bogs, country estates, etc. Always fun to people watch during the train station stops. Yes, the train took about 2.5 hours.
Love from Ukraine!) 😍💥🏵
I thought Ireland is not this kind of inhabited because of the history I'm glad that Ireland was already modernized 😊
Thanks for sharing your video.
Some interesting facts about Ireland, the total population is about 5 million. The city of Dublin has about 1 million whereas the Dublin urban area is about 1.9 million. Galway has about 71 thousand. The Irish population density is about 73 people per square kilometer (ranked 139th in the world) - US is 36/km2; China 146/km2. During the Potato Famine -between 1845 and 1851 - two million people died or were forced to emigrate from Ireland. The population of Ireland has never been able to repopulate to its pre-famine level of approximately 8 million residents. The entire island of Ireland, both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, have a population around 6.8 million people. The economy in Ireland has been one of the strongest in Europe in recent years with consistently rising wages. Major industries in Ireland include high-tech, life sciences, and financial services.
@@arthousecreations1the population of the whole island of ireland is still 2 million less than before the famine
@@AlainnCorcaigh Crazy to think about after approximately 175 years when the total world populaton grew from 1.2 billion to 8 billion.
The hippie capital of Europe. And I’m irish! 😂😂😂
I wasn't aware. Always thought that was Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen or Ibiza, Spain.
Whos the woman statue?
🇺🇸
Galway Girl sculpture (2022) outside The Quays Bar, Quay Street. The Quays Bar explained to Galway Beo that this lovely lady represents “Galway girl”.
There are over 720 big cities in Europe and Galway is the friendliest?. So did you visit them all?
Unfortunately no. But I've been to several and found Galway to be friendly and hospitable.
GAWWWLLLLWAY! Please pronounce it right
Yes, I've been corrected. GAULway. Guess after this video, everyone will know.
And most expensive and traffic clogged. The pollution must be extreme in summer. Lots of smiles but dont take that for friendship. Galway is a pretty little town but spoiled by tourists like anywhere else. Enjoy it with your eyes open.
We took the train so had no traffic issues but only observed normal traffic in the city proper. Also several streets are pedestrian only except for work vehicles. Everyone we encountered was pleasant and we found the prices reasonable.
Somebody’s never been to Dublin...
@@amymcdonagh1128 right?! pretty sure i could get a round in Galway in Garavan's for the price of one pint in the big shmoke after 8p.m
Its pronounced Golway not Galway
Yes, you are correct. I've admitted my error in the description and also attempted the correct pronunciation in the following video: czcams.com/video/J0M0IlWjO00/video.html
With no narrative I have no idea what I'm seeing. It makes for a boring video.
Appreciate the feedback. I just created some new videos about our biking adventures during an annual bike ride and included an opening narrative with each video. I'll be sure to include them going forward. If you have the time, perhaps you could watch part of this video and let me know if this works better. Thanks. czcams.com/video/zZ6nM_lxXvE/video.html
GAAWL WAY
Pronounced 🇺🇲😂
Yep, you are correct. My mistake.
It’s pronounced G all way… Galway not gal
Yes, I got it wrong. Thanks for the correction.
Even after spending 2 days there you can't pronounce Galway correctly !
You are correct. But I was instructed on the correct pronunciation so now I feel much better.
