videos, transcripts & photos at townsofeurope.com/ Galway, Connemara and Aran Islands in the west of Ireland and nearby sights. Galway is a lovely town, perfect for strolling along cobble-stone lanes lined with artisans shops, but even more attractive is the adjacent Connemara Peninsula, with Kylemore Abbey and Clifden, which we will thoroughly explore together.

The essence of Irish landscape is the beauty-of green fields bounded by miles of rock walls; ancient stone houses with thatch roofs; cows and sheep wandering freely. This is a wild region of mountains, lakes, tumbling streams, undulating peat bogs, unspoiled beaches, and panoramic views. It is a Gaelic-speaking region that has maintained its traditional character and kept the modern world at bay. The musical accent of the friendly locals will charm your heart in a way you can never forget.
The west of Ireland has for generations been considered one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland and it seems that the beauty of the Connemara scenery is matched by the demeanor of its inhabitants. Galway has been voted the friendliest city in the world in a recent poll.
When you are in Clifden, stop by All Things Connemara for some Irish gifts, or to rent a bicycle for the day.

Beautiful video. I love Ireland and am fascinated by its ancient history.
So nice to watch, makes me homesick!
I was there 11 years ago. Great people! Loved it
I love Galway! When things get better I am defo going back! ❤️ Sending love from the other side of Ireland 🇮🇪
Virtual Feats@ Galway is gay town and there's nothing there only dirt and alcohol..... Fk you
Westport County Mayo pretty town and a great base for hill walking, island hopping, mountain climbing, fishing trips, great western greenway (45k cycleway), horse riding on the beach, exploring castles stately homes, numerous restaurants etc
The Aran Islands are very special, though it looks a lot more commercialised than when I was there 30 yrs ago. Stunning place.
I miss the Spanish Arch Pub. It was my favorite by far! I was used to go there every Sat nigh listening to some live rock music. Then it turned in a modern posh pub :(
As an Irishman working abroad I thank you for this beautiful video. Home is calling
Nathan Kirk yes born and reared in North Dublin, left in the 80s as I hated the patriarch and how much control the Catholic Church had there. But ready to go back,it’s changed a lot since then. ☘️😊
very enjoyable production thank you.
Galway is full of pubs and live music, I thought it would be fun to stay here a night or two.
Great video, thanks 🎤🎬📽💕
Brings back memories when I was there ,,,,,,,,,
Here is a story connected with Aran Island sweaters, that was told to me many years ago. Never did get an opportunity to confirm it. In the old days when the islands were quite heavily populated, their main source of food and sustenance was fishing. This was carried out by the islanders using boats made of a wood/canvas combination, named "currachs", extremely light and could be carried by the fishermen up on to dry land after a days fishing. The Atlantic could be very treacherous and many lives were lost over the centuries. The famous Aran Island sweaters were knitted to individually unique patterns which identified the home or family that knitted a particular design. Tradition had it that no Aran Islander ever learned to swim, due to the fact that being a swimmer only prolonged the agony of drowning in the fierce cold Atlantic. When the bodies washed ashore several days later they were identified by the stitched pattern on the bodies'. True or False? I don't know.
yes, that is the famous legend, must be true. Even today fishing in a small boat far at sea is among the most dangerous jobs.
True
I think true only because wool has the ability to keep you warm whilst being wet. Logically fishermen would wear local wool sweaters
Wow thank you for sharing so beautiful places
The patterns of the aran sweaters also gave indication of the wearers family connection, so that when fishermen were lost at sea and their bodies found at a later time, their remains could be identified by the individual designs on their sweaters.
Aye beautiful place to visit 😊🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍀🍀🍀🍀
13:22 - "But you know, this is the Bronze Age. They wouldn't have expected running water in the same way we might today." Haha, I like the understated way the guide educates us. Nice video series. Thanks.
I really enjoyed how you interviewed the locals. Slainte!
Ohhhh my goodness you've just given me the best gift a poor girl can have on a day like today.
you are not poor😑😑
I feel the same Shannon
You will love it. I'd highly recommend Galway and Aran Islands - The locals speak teh Irish language fluently...it's a rare thing to hear a language that may be dying out being spoken in every day life :-)

The tour-guide at the castle ruins has what to me is the quintessential Irish accent 😊...I know there are different ones, and I like them all....but this one is so musical to my ears 👂🎶 ...I love it when the "TH" sound is pronounced like just a "T"....makes my toes curl!
Great review. We have an art gallery near the the Cliffs of Moher in Liscannor - Atlantic Way Gallery would love to see you on your next trip 😊

The city of Galway was hit by The Portuguese tsunami after an offshore earthquake in 1755. The Spanish Arch was damaged as well as other structures along the west coast.
How was that possible when the tsunami would of hit the east? lol
@@QTSweetFX no it wouldn’t have
Lovely. Thanks. My maiden name is Callan.
If you are coming to the West of Ireland make sure you Fly into Shannon Airport not Dublin, you have just a 30 Minute drive to Limerick, Galway or the Cliffs of Moher, Lahinch and Spanish Point.
Yeah just tell the pilot to land there on the way to Dublin.
Aer Lingus flys Toronto to Shannon airport! Thanks!
@D-Beat & Techno LOL - the Thanks was for Noel Naughton commenting to fly to Shannon Airport and not Dublin if you're visiting the West of Ireland....your comment was that Shannon is not connected to very many other airports - which it is :D
@D-Beat & Techno :D Wish I could go with you!!
Galway is an hour drive from Shannon not 30 minutes
Maravilha!!! Linda !'👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🌹🌹
I wish I could move there.
me too
i was here September 2017 conemera
Spent 3 years there. Exept terrible weather everything was great.
Very lovely video, thank you for putting it out there for us to enjoy! One of my biggest dreams is to visit Ireland someday :)
Why take so long. The best place to be.wish i can go live there
Byłem i wdziałem jest naprawdę piękne miasteczko
Nice!
Dún Aengus was originally circular. The reason it's on the edge of a cliff now is due to coastal erosion.
Yes, there's a video on YT supporting this. I rate it highly plausible. But as far as I know there is zero academic for this view.
It's not it was a promontory fort it was a bit more then a semi circle
We used to get hammered down-the arch with a bottle of buckfast. Then into jury’s for a piss then off up cps
NICE
Drop me off in Kilkenny, and I'm good. Thanks!
I don't drink. I just want to see the castles and laugh with the locals.
Hiii I’m from Galway
feels like home to me😢😊
IRELAND IS LOVLY PLEASE IN GOOD.
merci beaucoup
Loved your video. Which tour did you take to go to the Aran Islands? What was the company name? Thanks
I love ireland. I lived 5 yeas
in chicago wear something green on st.pats. day!
I was born on Inishmore and like Dun Aengus my middle name is Aengus.
Hi would like to meet a female friend from South Africa? Coz I I'm dieing to meet a friend from Ireland , my name is Anita
Same
❤️ 🇺🇸 🇮🇪
All this is wonderful to see but, I would love to see a Yarn shop. As I am a Knitter and Crocheter.
There are plenty wool shops in every part of the country. So no need to worry😁
My heart was broken at 2:46 ...
she is sweet.
The good days
❤
Eyre Square , most popular in town and I see 9 people. Lol. Pedestrian walkway and you see 1 person
Would recommend that the local tour groups add one other location to visitors' list, i.e. the statue of Father O'Flaherty.
I think the statue is in Killarney, but not sure. He was the Irish priest at the Vatican in WW2 sheltered and saved hundreds of British and Allied prisoners, from the Nazis, then smuggled them to freedom, before Rome was captured by Allied forces.
He is considered a hero like Schindler. And like Schindler there is a movie about him, called the Scarlet and the Black.
Lovely video . Sorry you didn't have any blue sky's.
Apple drop sweets 😋😋😋
Half an hour from Clonmacnoise to Galway? That's some going.
Landing in Shannon would be better.
