Galway city

On our last day in Ireland, we stayed in Galway city, which is considered to be the coolest and hippest city in Ireland. It’s the center of Irish food and music scene. We really went there because it wasn’t too far from Cliffs of Moher and because there were VoiceMap tours available there. We did two VoiceMap tours - one historical and one specifically talking about gastronomy of Galway. We sampled many great small restaurants with local produce and walked around its pretty town center. Then we drove 2.5 hours back to Dublin, stopping on the way at the Tara, a historical hill, 30 min from Dublin. We did a VoiceMap tour there too, walking around a large site of grassy mounds, marking the areas of archeological finds. We also learned about the significance of fairies in the Irish beliefs. That concluded our week-long Irish adventure!Read more
