I'm from Galway and having visited and spent time in most cities in Ireland I would be of the opinion of it being the best. I realise it seems a biased view but I have nothing to gain from saying that and most people dislike their hometowns.

I come from Roscommon, a town about an hour away from Galway. I lived in the place 7 years and have no doubt it's the place I'll retire to. You can walk into a pub a stranger and leave a regular. It's small town atmosphere is wonderful as after a week or two you'll keep bumping into people you've met already. This can become a problem after 7 years hence my move but every chance I get I go back. I still get off the bus and meet someone i know within minutes!! Then it's off to the pub for the week! It's also the only city I know where you can walk to the countryside in half an hour but that's changing fast. Right beside Connemara, the Aran isles and Cliffs of Moher, you won't regret a visit to Gallimh!!

Galway is a lovely city - not as big as Dublin, but still very open, welcoming and lively. It is also situated on the west coast of Ireland which has spectatcular natural sights.

I was in Galway last year. My great great grandfather came from that area.

Go there occasionally . It's a fun town, do lots of walking . Downtown has a neat walking area with lots of nice stores and even nicer Pubs.
I live about 3 hrs away now that they build a nicer road to Sligo and Letterkenny

Yes, a very nice place.
Many interesting places to visit - dont forget to go out to the Aran
Islands-an other world ! Also the cliffs of Moher.
Word of advice: dont bring a car, the roads araund the area are
narrow and full of large tourist buses - no pleasure to drive.

No Söur Girl, it will never ever, ever stop raining. I don't even want you to ask this question again because the answer is always, always going to be no. There is nothing you can do about it, so just give up. Edit: Yes Brambles, it can.
