This small town, originally a fishing village, can easily be visited in less than a day. Of course, it is essential to highlight its lively atmosphere, especially at night, mainly due to the large number of university students who study in the city. In addition, the center of Galway is known for the colorful facades of its shops and its busy cafes or typical bars. So the best thing is to get to know this city on foot and get carried away to discover its liveliest and most vibrant corners. And as icing on the cake, this city hosts many festivals during the summer. So all that remains is for you to let yourself be seduced by its charms and start planning a trip! #ireland

Glenlo Abbey Hotel, a very old-fashioned hotel, but with a stunning view of Lake Lough Corrib and the western part of Ireland, it's worth a night. Moreover, there is a restaurant in the hotel that was transformed by a train carriage. It is not too small. It is the train that shot the movie "Oriental Express Murder". But the point is that the hotel's scenery is my most favored. I woke up in the morning and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window. With the soft glow of the sunrise, I felt that I could have a good mood all day.

| Sligo's Mountain and Sea Prose Poem (Guide). Ireland | Sligo's Mountain and Sea Prose Poem (Guide) The Wild Atlantic Way is an epic journey that covers nine counties from north to south in Ireland. County Sligo is home to many historical and cultural attractions as well as stunning natural scenery. Benbulben is a place where the green of the mountains and the blue of the sea meet, while the Mullaghmore Peninsula is a place where the blue of the sea is layered. Together, they form the most beautiful prose poem on the Emerald Isle. On the map, both are north of Sligo town center. It takes about 15 minutes to drive from the town to Benbulben, and another 20 minutes to Mullaghmore Peninsula. Benbulben Navigate to Benbulben Forest Walk, where parking is free. This is a national forest hiking trail (Figures 2 and 3) and is divided into Benbulben Loop (about 5.5 km), Yeats Loop (about 5 km), and Cashel Loop (about 4 km). Generally, it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the place where you can take a picture of the whole Benbulben. Next to it is an introduction to the Yeats Trail (Figures 6 and 7) (Yeats: a famous Irish poet and playwright, winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature, and a native of County Sligo). Looking up at the "Table of God" Benbulben, the poet Yeats mentioned this mountain many times in his poems. The ridges of the mountain have extremely steep slopes, adding a sense of weight and loneliness to the Wild Atlantic. Mullaghmore The Mullaghmore Peninsula is located at Siya Miraya Pari Point, where you can only park your car on the side of the road (fortunately, it is not a main road and there are not many cars). This location is the most photogenic place in the area, with white sandy beaches, Classiebawn Castle, and Benbulben in the distance all gathered in your frame. Next to it is the sea, which has the most giant waves in Ireland, making it a favorite place for Irish surfers and windsurfers. Classiebawn Castle It is less than 200 meters from the previous location and is private property. It is truly backed by Benbulben and faces the sea. The coastal rocks, constantly eroded and washed by the sea breeze and waves, look like long laser beams from Star Wars, forever fixed on the Wild Atlantic.

Personally, I found the quaint atmosphere and vibrant streets of this city incredibly charming. The cost of living is really high, but walking along the streets lined with colorful buildings in Galway allowed me to experience the local art and culture up close. The Galway Cathedral and the Kilronan Quay were particularly impressive. It was also nice to have the opportunity to taste fresh seafood near the sea!

Excellent hotel with an abundance of amenities in such a beautiful location. Would definitely stay here again.

Had an amazing day exploring Galway! After wandering through the vibrant Latin Quarter, we visited the Galway City Museum. It was a fascinating dive into the city’s rich history and culture, with exhibits that brought the past to life. We then made our way to McDonagh’s for some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had—crispy, fresh, and simply delicious. Although we didn’t make it to the Salthill Promenade, the combination of culture, history, and great food made it a perfect day in Galway. Already looking forward to our next visit!#galway

Maybe you haven’t heard of Galway But you must have heard of Boss Huang’s Galway Girl I fell in love with this seaside town at the first stop of my self-driving tour in Ireland. At sunset, the lawns at the harbor are filled with people lying on their backs. The sea breeze smells of beer and grass mixed together I can't help but sigh every blues moment Nothing is more important than living in the moment Nothing is greater than happiness Take a walk from The Latin Quarter to the beach Young people are sunbathing at The Long Walk The seaside embankment under the sunset, eating pizza and drinking beer, chatting about life Someone also brought a stereo to play songs. Opposite is a row of rainbow houses. Seagulls and swans pass by from time to time and eavesdrop. There are a lot of people waiting in line at Hooked, a popular local seafood restaurant. I had an idea, why not take away and go to the beach to eat? So I also experienced the relaxing life in Galway Never forget that we are born free🌊

This Norman-era building has experienced centuries of ups and downs. The so-called "copper wall and iron wall" Kilkenny Castle is an irregular quadrilateral and has a large number of drum towers. Most of this building has been preserved intact, although it has undergone many reconstructions. After visiting the inside of the castle, don't forget to take a look at the free Rose Garden behind, the garden has fountains and various flowers, the scenery is very beautiful. The art gallery and souvenir shop opposite the castle can also be visited. Return to Dublin after the end, the four-day tour is still a bit hasty, many places have not had time to check in, if you have plenty of time, you can leave a week for a deep self-driving tour!💕

The mulled wine at the Galway Christmas Market is really delicious. One is sour and sweet, and the other is ginger-flavored mulled wine, but not spicy~ It’s a bit expensive~~ but worth it~ I later bought a spice bag at a convenience store and made it myself. Although it’s delicious, the taste is different😭
