Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed in the Latin Quarter with three teenagers- we all had a blast. Unfortunately, our days were full of excursions so we did not get to properly explore the city during daylight hours but had a blast none the less. We are returning summer of 2020 and will spend more time here while staying in the Latin Quarter.

What a fabulous place, lively and busy with people both local and tourists. Some nice shops and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The street performers were very professional from a harpist to singers and a guy perfmorming with a football. Good to wander about and soak up the atmosphere. Grand!

Lovely vibe on this street. Visited on a Friday early evening and there was live music playing and the street was placed with people enjoying themselves. Looked to me lots of options for food and drink here though was unable to partake.

Wow, what an amazing place, shops, bars, restaurants and even more pubs lol
Had three full on days here, do some shops or the museum and the bay and historic sights then grab a meal enjoy a drink or two and sit back and watch the people pass by, a great place to chill daytimes and party of a nighttime.
Very friendly people and staff amazing, table service everywhere and many bars were huge and had multiple bars within.
Some amazing history here and fabulous food.

The atmosphere is festive, bars and restaurants are plentiful, and the history is worth well taking in. Spread over a number of lanes you will likely cover the historical and Latin quarter of Galway within a day or two (depending on your pace). It's certainly worth the time to stop by and admire the architecture and quaint shops.

This Old Town section of Galway has a full range of shops, restaurants, and bars to suit all tastes. Plenty of outside dining/drinking space is available, weather permitting. This is a great area to simply stroll to get a feel for this very vibrant part of Galway. The amount of time you spend will certainly vary depending on your interests and any sort of dining/drinking you might do.

I love this area of Galway, always plenty of buskers to listen to. A bonus if it’s a dry day, as you can spend longer just strolling around listening to the buskers. Also a great assortment of Bars and Restaurants

I still don't understand why we didn't spend more time in this essential high-spirited district in a marvelous city. We did eat at the magnificent Trattoria Magnetti and had drinks & snacks at The Front Door (part of a warren of bars and drinking rooms that are so well designed and comfortable, I could go every day for a week). But there's so much more. Alas. We must return.

The Latin Quarter is entertaining, historical, and satisfying. Lots of shops, pubs, restaurants, buskers, and even archeological dig...with a surprise archeological sighting in a sweater shop. Great place to stroll, people watch, and gather up Irish goodies, and satisfy that thirst. Loved every entertaining minute of our day in the Latin Quarter.

Beautiful place with the usual shops and pubs but some interesting history. But the cheapness in the town in parking… Two euro for an hour to shop and spend money to support the town businesses. Such a greedy local government. Oh and the wheel clampers make a thriving business so beware. The locals hate the cheapness too! I suggest you avoid Galway and enjoy the many beautiful towns nearby

Are shops and bars open in the Latin quarter in late November on Sundays?
Written 13 November 2016
I was there in June - some shops were definitely closed up after dinner.
Written 16 November 2016
how late is the area (performers performing) and shops open on Saturday ??
Written 17 June 2016
Most of the small craft and gift shops stay open on Saturdays to 06;00 pm ... I believe in Summer time as it's a lot of tourists , it's really not a problem to do shopping
