For our newcomers to this fantastic city, Áthas (pronounced ‘Awe Hass’) is the Irish word for enjoyment. Something we provide plenty of on our walking tours around Galway, with a touch of Irish Craic for good measure.
Galway also known as Gaillimh translates as “town of the foreigners.” There is little doubt there has always been an international feel to this city. The native Irish, French, English, Spanish and others have helped shape who we are. The town is as much an international mix today as it has been in the past. All of this adds to Galway’s unique position in the west of Ireland. It is a very Irish city but also has its differences. Modern travelers and locals keep adding to its uniqueness. Its art, culture and social scene are constantly added to and improved by all those who live here or are passing through. This gives the city its international feel, which is why it’s so popular with visitors from around the world.
