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.

    If you look up Medieval City Walls you will get lost! It’s a cute mall but not much of interest except the wellness store. There is a parking garage right by it for 2.90/hr

    Nora barnacle was a precocious girl orphaned somehow. She lived here with her uncle and fell in love with a local boy who died early from TB.

    Distraught, she left and moved to Dublin where she met Oscar Wilde. Although being his muse she remained in love with her original beau.

    Here you will find the history of Irish Culture and what is going on inside the Irish Language Culture and enjoy the Club/bar and the chat too.

    If you have a good guide, which we did, the whole Lynch story, and that stop on our walking tour, is pretty cool. Even if the story is stretched a little, it's still a very neat part of an old fort/building, and cool to see as up close as you are on this street.

    Galway station is a small, lovely station. It has trains that go from Dublin to Galway and Limerick to Galway and some other infrequent routes. There is a Starbucks at the station and lots of available seating.

    Attended the installation of my cousin as Minister.

    I'm no architectural student, but the building looked in fine condition and, though restored 30 years ago, probably looks much as it did when first opened in 1877. A 140 seat church building with attached Sunday School/Hall and admin rooms on two floors.

    Excellent gothic revival cathedral- open until 6 in the evening - nice stain glass windows when the sun is coming around in the south side - organists were rehearsing some tunes which made it atmospheric
    Also free to enter - which was handy

    A treasure trove to visit. We used the self-guided audio tour which was brilliant. Giving enough information and revealing some of the secrets of this beauty church. Glad we opted to spend time here today.
