Why Moving To Galway Is A Great Idea

Career opportunities. Galway is a thriving hub of potential as home to many multinational companies, especially in the technology and pharmaceutical sectors. The Irish Independent newspaper recently nicknamed Galway the ‘city of the start-up tribes’, and this indicates
Historical interest. If you’re looking for a home city with character, Galway could be the perfect place for you. A popular tourist destination, Galway boasts the impressive Spanish Arch and St Nicholas Church, as well as the traditional Latin Quarter, where you can still see portions of the medieval city walls.
Local culture. It can be difficult to settle in to a new city when you move, but here in Galway, you can be sure of a wonderful welcome. You’ll love to discover the excellent street markets, which have been held on Church Lane for centuries, as well as the annual Food Festival, Festival of Literature, Arts Festival and Film Fleadh, and well as Galway Race Week. People from all over the world have made Galway their home, and the city draws from a diverse combination of languages and cultures – there really is something for everyone.
Live music. Live music is traditional all over Ireland, but here in Galway, you are likely to find a fantastic range of street performance as well as great acts in the excellent Galway pubs and nightclubs. Look out for the traditional ceili, with music and dancing that is hard to beat anywhere in the world!
Great food. Galway is famous for its seafood, and the locally caught fish feature on menus across the city. Try Oscar’s Bistro for Galway Bay oysters, and enjoy unbeatable fish and chips at McDonagh’s. When you’re settling in to the city, a food tour is the very best way to begin to feel at home, and you’ll soon find your own favourites.
