As part of your language and cultural stay in Ireland, we invite you to discover one of the country’s most colourful and charming cities – Galway. Located on the west coast, where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean, Galway is known for its lively streets, traditional music, and welcoming atmosphere. Walk through the historic Latin Quarter, explore the Quay Street shops and cafés, and enjoy the street performers who bring music and energy to the city. You’ll see landmarks such as the Spanish Arch, Galway Cathedral, and the Eyre Square gardens. As you wander through the cobblestone streets, you’ll hear Irish music from pubs, see local art, and feel the friendly spirit of the city. Along the Salthill Promenade, you can breathe in the fresh sea air and look out across Galway Bay. You might even take part in the local tradition of “kicking the wall” at the end of the walk for good luck! Galway is also the gateway to stunning landscapes such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, and Connemara. Throughout your visit, you’ll practice your English while learning about Irish culture, history, and traditions. You can read signs in both English and Irish (Gaelic), talk to locals or shopkeepers, and take notes to share with your class. Galway is not just a city – it’s an experience filled with music, colour, and culture. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, try some local food like fish and chips or Irish stew, and don’t forget your camera to capture the magic of the west of Ireland!
