The Latin Quarter is a labyrinth of medieval lanes transformed into Galway’s entertainment and shopping district. You will find historic landmarks and plenty of shopping. There are also about a dozen pubs and restaurants with outdoor seating so you can enjoy people watching between sips of lager, ale or stout. Notice the words “Gallimh 2020 Galway.” This celebrates their selection as the European Capital of Culture in 2020. Since the program began in 1985, a city is designated each year to host a series of international cultural events.
