Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Large 3 bedroom house in Galway City, city of the tribes. Located beside the city's university, the house is set back from the main road, so it is quiet and private. There is plenty of room, with 2 living areas, a spacious kitchen, a private back garden, 2 large double bedrooms and one twin room and parking for 3 cars. It was built in 2008, so is very well insulated. All modern amenities included.

We are situated next to a beautiful walk along the river corrib, which brings you to the heart of Galway's main shopping and restaurant area. A 5 minute drive will bring you to Salthill promenade. The house is also ideally situated for day trips to Connemara, the Cliffs of Moher and Spiddal.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Arty, bohemian Galway (Gaillimh) is renowned for its pleasures. Brightly painted pubs heave with live music, while cafes offer front-row seats for observing street performers, weekend parties run amok, lovers entwined and more.

Steeped in history, for sure, but the city buzzes with a contemporary and cultured vibe as students make up a quarter of the population. Remnants of the medieval town walls lie between shops selling Aran sweaters, handcrafted Claddagh rings and stacks of second-hand and new books. Bridges arch over the salmon-stuffed River Corrib, and a long promenade leads to the seaside suburb of Salthill, on Galway Bay, the source of the area's famous oysters.

Galway is often referred to as the 'most Irish' of Ireland's cities, it's the only one where you're likely to hear Irish spoken in the streets, shops and pubs.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Galway City, known as the City of the Tribes, is a thriving, bohemian, cultural city on the western coast of Ireland. Along with being a popular seaside destination with beautiful beaches and long winding promenade, it also has a buzzing cosmopolitan city centre. The city is a joy to explore with its labyrinthine cobbled streets, colourful shop facades and busy café/ bar culture. The city is also well known for its many festivals throughout the year with huge crowds gathering for the annual Galway Arts Festival, Races and numerous other events. Old Ireland is present too with turf fires and traditional music featuring in many pubs to compliment your enjoyment of a well earned pint of Guinness.
