Overall

Galway has everything you could want, a fabulous bustling city and stunning scenery in and around the county. The Arann Islands are definitely worth a visit for the views, the people and the handmade gifts. Irelands oldest carnival takes place the first weekend of August every summer in Ballygar and is a must for the family (the pubs and bands in the evenings are great for the adults too). The Galway Races at the end of July are definite must, they run for the week and include Ladies Day which is a great day out (and usually spills into the evening). There are numerous fabulous towns and villages around the county which make galway the perfect place to visit. The food, the shopping, the people and the places make this a perfect destination for anyone looking for a holiday!
