Galway's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Galway is Ireland's bohemian west-coast city, where colorful streets buzz with traditional music, the arts festival draws the world, and the Wild Atlantic Way begins at the doorstep.
