The blend of bohemian and artsy with affluent and intellectual create the fascinating and attractive appeal that’s the essence of Galway.  It’s one of Europe’s most rapidly growing cities and when you wander the medieval streets brought to life by the street musicians and lined with brightly painted pubs, you’ll clearly see why people are flocking to this romantic and eccentric city.  While Galway is staying true to its roots, it’s often called the most “Irish” city of Ireland, it boasts a contemporary and youthful vibe as well.  A fourth of the population is made up of students fueling the progressive and alternative energy that energizes this city.  The luck of the Irish certainly smiled upon Galway blessing this picturesque destination with the perfectly balanced appeal.
