If you didn’t already know, Christmas Markets are becoming kind of a big thing in Ireland, with lots of great markets to choose from across the island.
Being one of the most bustling cities, having just been named “fourth best city in the world to visit” by Lonely Planet, Galway triumphs as one of the top spots for Christmas festivities.
The 2019 Christmas Market is the tenth year of the market in Galway, awaiting visitors with a wide variety of entertainment. With more than 50 wooden chalets located at Eyre Square in Galway City centre, the market will be host to Santa’s Grotto, the German Bier Keller and numerous other stalls and activities throughout the four-week fair.
