Experience Galway during your Erasmus+ mobility
Professional development in Galway is closely connected with the experience of the city itself. The compact centre makes it easy to combine training with cultural activities, traditional music, local cafés, museums and everyday opportunities to use English in authentic settings.
Participants can explore the Latin Quarter, walk along Galway Bay towards Salthill, experience traditional Irish music and use the city as a base for trips to Connemara, the Aran Islands, the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. These experiences add an important cultural and intercultural dimension to Erasmus+ mobility and help participants build a stronger connection with Ireland during their stay.
