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.
Even without the Christmas markets, Galway has much to offer during the festive season. Expect blankets of fairy lights hanging above the streets and the usual cosy pubs enhanced with the addition of Christmas trees and, in some cases, roaring fires.
Thinking of visiting Galway this Christmas for last minute shopping ideas and to see what else the city has to offer? We put together a list of the top things to do and see while visiting Galway this Christmas.
