Galway es una pequeña ciudad irlandesa situada en la costa oeste de la isla. Esta ciudad se encuentra en el condado de Connacht. El río Corrib, catalogado como el río más corto de toda Europa, recorre la ciudad hasta desembocar en el mar. Considerada la ciudad más importante del condado, Galway cuenta con dos universidades, la NUIG (National University of Galway) y la GMIT (Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology). Así, son los universitarios quienes le dan vida a esta ciudad costera. (en)
