Galway or Gallimh is the capital of the West and it is also known as the Cultural Capital of Ireland due to it's association with the Irish language and Irish culture. As Galway City is close to the gaeltacht area of Connemara it is not uncommon to hear conversations in the native Irish tongue.
Irish Music has a huge part to play in the Galway City identity and Irish tunes can be heard flowing from public houses as you walk down Shop Street.
