Eyre
Square
Known locally as "the
Square", this central plot was officially presented to
the city in 1710 by Mayor Edward Eyre, from whom it took its
name.
In 1965, the square was officially renamed "Kennedy Memorial
Park" in honour of US President John F. Kennedy, who visited
here shortly before his assassination in 1963.

Aran Islands
No holiday to Ireland
would be complete without a trip to the mystical Aran Islands
that are situated in the middle of Galway Bay. The rugged,
natural beauty along with thatch roofed stone cottages that dot
the islands provide a splendid example of Celtic and early
Christian heritage and gives one the impression that they have
just travelled back in time.. The islands are Inishmore, the
largest, Inishmaan and Inisheer being the smallest.
Day Trip Tickets may be purchased at
Sea-Breeze Lodge on arrival. |

Connemara
From
the rugged Twelve Bens mountain range in the north through
lake-rich Roundstone Bog to the golden beaches reaching out into
the Atlantic Ocean, you'll know you're in Connemara by the light
that constantly changes the mood and tone of the landscape.
Connemara has long been regarded as the real emerald of Ireland. |

Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs are 8kms long
214m high, it is here that one can most easily get a fell for
the wildness of the terrain over which the Celts wandered, for
although they built imposing Castles, very often they preferred
the outdoor nomadic life and the hunt.
A journey to the Cliffs takes one through the famous Burren
region of north Clare. |

Galway
is a city,
a county, and
an experience to be savoured and remembered. The historic city
of the tribes dances to a beat uniquely its own. There are
certain chemistry and vibrancy to this friendly University
City, which many delight in, and few forget.
Music, festivals, horse racing, pubs, restaurants, shops, theatres and most of
all Galway people, combine to create this atmospheric mediaeval city of culture.
From this pulsating heart the rest of the county flows.
