3 Must Do’s in Galway, Ireland

July 17, 2017

Although not a big as Dublin (and definitely not as small as Ballyvaughan), Galway has so many activities for tourists and locals. Its a lively city bustling with people of various backgrounds, ages, and nationalities. If you ever find yourself in this amazing city, make sure to check out the following must do’s!

1. Go to Dungeons and Donuts.

Do you like gaming? Do you like donuts? Well, you’re in luck because Galway’s very own Dungeons and Donuts has both. They offer everything from video games, card games and board games, to the most extravagant and amazing donuts you’ll ever have – and they’re cheap too!

2. Visit the market on Church Lane.

Whether your looking for fresh produce or locally crafted art, the market in Galway has everything. It’s a great place to go if you’re looking to find hidden gems and new treasures, and a perfect place to get gifts and souvenirs!

3. Grab a burger at Chili Shack

I love Shake Shack, but Chili Shack in Galway takes the cake. I had their bacon burger this weekend and could honestly say it’s the best burger I’ve ever tasted. Grabbing a bite to eat here is definitely a must do if you’re ever in Ireland – and they have vegetarian options too!

My program on this DOC is Art Exploration in Ireland. I grew up in Boston and then decided to pursue higher education here as well, so I've been in the city essentially my whole life. I'm excited to immerse myself in a new environment and experience a plethora of different cultural customs. I look forward to seeing new fashion, trying new foods, learning different dialects and experiencing the countryside of Ireland. In addition to the global aspect of this Dialogue, I am very excited to spend 4 weeks creating my own work of art. Although I'm unsure as to what project I will be pursuing, I know that the land and people of Ballyvaughan will inspire me to create something wonderful.
