City Overview
the city of Galway is the folk capital of the west of Ireland, its vibrancy and hedonism makes it unique. People come here with energies geared up for enjoyment, the music, the drink and the people all make it a difficult place to leave.

The National University of Ireland at Galway guarantees a high proportion of young people in term time, maintained in summer by the attractions of the city's festivals. This youthful energy is an important part of Galway's identity and the city's mix of culture and fun attracts a whole array of tourists every year.

Daily Budget
Like other cities in Ireland, it is possible to get by on a daily budget of US$45, by staying in one of the youth hostels and eating at the budget cafes. If you want to sample more of what the city has to offer, a daily budget of US$95 is what you should work with.
