Experience the real Irish craic at a Galway hostel

Situated on the very edge of one of the largest and most vibrant Gaeltacht regions in the country, Galway has a unique and special relationship with the Irish language. Gaeltacht refers to an area where Irish is used as an everyday language by the people of the town. As a result, Galway is a bilingual city: Irish and English. For those arts lovers out there, Galway is home to the National Irish Language Theatre or Taibhdhearc na Gailimhe providing Irish language plays for all ages throughout the city.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay, a hostel could be a great way of saving money, staying in clean accommodation of a decent standard and being close to the centre of town. Hostels offer a range of rooms from single bedrooms with en suite bathrooms to dormitories that sleep up to twenty, usually in bunk beds with a shared bathroom. Kitchens and lounge areas are communal and there is usually free Internet access, television and games room. To find out more, visit the tourist information website for Galway.
