This area is defined by some of the city\u2019s most historic landmarks and stretches from the Spanish Arch at Long Walk to O\u2019Brien\u2019s Bridge to St Nicholas\u2019 Church and back (via Buttermilk Lane) to An Taibhdhearc on Middle Street.<\/p><p>While the history is plentiful, it\u2019s usually the atmosphere that attracts tourists and Galwegians to these cobbled streets. The Latin Quarter is home to the city\u2019s most popular bars, restaurants, retailers and places to stay. Visit some of the unique boutiques, gaze in wonder at the fabulous street performers or grab a pint of Guinness and just watch the world go by.<\/p><p>This year, the area is welcoming holidaymakers with flags and bunting from each county. From Cork to Antrim, Donegal to Waterford, the 32 counties are all represented so you&#8217;re sure to feel right at home.<\/p><p>Just up from the Latin Quarter you\u2019ll find Eyre Square. This imposing public space was originally a town green but in the 2000s, it was revamped to become a modern plaza. It\u2019s a lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon. Don\u2019t forget to check out the wonderful artwork such as the Quincentennial Fountain.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re looking to try some local fare then you need to head to the weekend market in the shadow of St. Nicholas\u2019 medieval church. The market is full of colour and wonderful characters. It\u2019s got a great selection of local cheeses and charcuterie, as well as curries, sushi and Mediterranean favourites. Bring a bag to carry all your picnic supplies.<\/p><p>Take your delicious treats down to the Salthill promenade. Galway is a unique city as it\u2019s based right on the Atlantic Ocean. On a sunny day, it\u2019s the perfect place to relax, go for a walk, or maybe even swim if you\u2019re feeling brave.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e28b418 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e28b418\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1240\" height=\"825\" src=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-509166952.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3675\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-509166952.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-509166952-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-509166952-580x387.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed52e26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed52e26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Day 2: Take the ferry to the Aran Islands<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05daa35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05daa35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>On day two of your ultimate Galway getaway you should venture a little bit further afield and head to the Aran Islands. Each of the Islands, Inis O\u00edrr, Inis Meain and the largest Inis M\u00f3r has its own individual character.<\/p><p>The islands are a great place to go walking, swimming and biking. There are also some wonderful monuments and ancient forts to see on each one such as Poll na bPeist and D\u00fan Aonghas. Plus, if you\u2019ve got C\u00fapla focal, now is your time to use them as the islands are a Gaeltacht area.<\/p><p>To get there, you can travel by ferry or air. Ferries operate to the Islands from Doolin in Co. Clare and Rossaveal in Co Galway. Flights leave from Inverin in Connemara.<\/p><p>After a long day on the road treat yourself to a delicious meal in Galway city centre. Quay street and Middle street are lined with a host of places to eat from pub grub to fine dining. Many have on street seating so you can take in the atmosphere of the city.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac8a693 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ac8a693\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1240\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-sb10062913b-001.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3677\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-sb10062913b-001.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-sb10062913b-001-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-sb10062913b-001-580x387.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f768d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f768d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Day 3: Hit the road and drive around Connemara<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-178991a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"178991a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Just a short drive from the city lies Connemara. The best way to get there from your Latin Quarter base is to take the coastal route or the R336. Known as the Connemara Loop, this wonderful drive is the best way to see the area\u2019s incredible scenery and desolate countryside.<\/p><p>Take a trip to Connemara National Park for some wonderful scenery and epic hiking spots. The Diamond Hill walk is a great option and the loop starts at the visitor centre. You can chose between the upper Diamond Hill trail (7km) and the lower Diamond Hill walk (3km) depending on how adventurous you\u2019re feeling. You\u2019ll get some wonderful views on both routes.<\/p><p>Next, head to Kylemore Abbey and Victorian walled-garden. Kylemore Castle was built in the late 1800s by Mitchell Henry MP. Today, the abbey is owned and run by the Benedictine community who have been in residence there since 1920.<\/p><p>During your visit, you can explore the six acre walled garden, take a walk through the extensive woodland, visit the neo-Gothic church and visit the abbey\u2019s two pet pigs, Gloria and Ken! Before you leave, grab a cup of tea and a scone in the Garden Tea House. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3540a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f3540a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1240\" height=\"825\" src=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1134449161.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3676\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1134449161.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1134449161-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelatinquarter.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1134449161-580x387.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c77ae4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7c77ae4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Day 4: Cliffs of Moher and The Burren<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bb24a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bb24a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>You can\u2019t visit the west of Ireland without taking a trip to the Cliffs of Moher in Co Clare. These iconic cliffs rise to 214m at their highest point and stretch for 8kms. If you\u2019ve got time, explore the coastal walk which starts in Doolin and ends in Liscannor (20km). It\u2019s a fantastic way to see the area and appreciate the ruggedness. If 20km sounds like a lot, you can also do a shorter stretch from the cliffs to Hag\u2019s Head (5km).<\/p><p>The cliffs are part of the UNESCO Global Geopark, also known as The Burren. Most of you will remember learning about this place at school but you truly need to visit to understand just how beautiful it is. The Burren National Park offers free guided walks along the trails.
