West-coast Ireland's cultural capital — Atlantic-facing university city (NUIG, ~20k students), and the gateway to the Aran Islands and Connemara. Population around 85k. The medieval Latin Quarter and Eyre Square anchor a walkable centre that's genuinely smaller and friendlier than Dublin. Famous for the Galway International Arts Festival (July), traditional Irish music sessions, and a craic-dense pub scene. Wi-Fi is reliable; coworking is thin but real (Portershed, PorterShed Foster Street). Ireland is outside Schengen — 90-day visa-free entry for most Western passports under Ireland's independent visa regime. Dublin is 2.5 hours by train or car.
