About
Galway City
Galway (official Irish name: Gaillimh) is the
only city in the province of Connacht in Ireland and
capital of County Galway. The city is located on the
west coast of Ireland. In Irish, Galway is also called
Cathair na Gaillimhe, which is a translation of "City
of Galway". The city takes its name from the
Gaillimh river (River Corrib) that formed the western
boundary of the earliest settlement, which was called
Dún Bhun na Gaillimhe, or the fort at the bottom
of the Gaillimh. The word Gaillimh means "stony"
as in "stony river".

We're
here, now what?
Galway is often considered to be the 'Cultural Capital
of Ireland', and is world renowned for its vibrant lifestyle
and numerous festivals, celebrations and events. Galway
city is unique among Irish cities because of the strength
of its Irish language, music, song and dancing traditions
- it is often referred to as the 'Bilingual Capital
of Ireland'. The city is well known for its ‘Irishness’,
and mainly due to the fact that it has on its doorstep
the Galway Gaeltacht. The language is visible on the
city streets, with bilingual signage on display on shops
and road signs, and can be heard by locals around the
city. Irish theatre, television and radio production
and Irish music are an integral part of Galway city
life, with both An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language
Theatre, TG4 and RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta
headquarters in Galway.
