Sun filled beer gardens or a sea view - Galway picks for outdoor food and drinks
"For a more casual dining experience, An Púcán is another Galway legend and their newly renovated beer garden is something of a sun trap. The Irish whiskey & food tasting platter at €21 sounds like a steal with Tullamore Dew 12, Teelings Single Malt and Jameson Black Barrel paired with Galway Bay smoked salmon on their signature brown bread, a selection of Irish cheese, a chocolate brownie and a shot of pickle juice."

The Top Museums to Visit in Galway, Ireland
"An iconic piece of Galway’s history, the Claddagh ring features two hearts and a crown and can symbolise romantic availability or otherwise, depending on the direction that the crown points. Some firms that make the city’s ring date back to the 18th century. It’s associated with the Joyce Tribe and has spread far and wide in recent years, but several Galway shops (the museum, naturally, is also one) have cornered a local market steeped in tradition."
