Galway \u2013 European Capital of Culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From music and horseracing to literature and oysters, there\u2019s something for everyone on this part of the Wild Atlantic Way. There&#8217;s never been a better time to visit the buzzing city of Galway. It\u2019s been selected as European Capital of Culture for 2020, one of the largest cultural events in the world. It will feature performances from the best of local and national artists, alongside incredible European and international acts.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Guinness-Brewery-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>2. Dublin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Walking along Dublin\u2019s streets, you\u2019ll be taking a journey through history, from the city\u2019s Viking roots to its medieval churches and grand Georgian streets. Take a tour of the city\u2019s most famous whiskey spots with an expert guide. Plenty of companies offer walking tours of Dublin, but few give back to the city like Secret Street Tours. This non-profit employs people who have been affected by homelessness as guides. You\u2019ll see a part of the city through the eyes of a lifelong resident.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see some nature, you can go kayaking in Dalkey. Both of Ireland\u2019s two native seal species \u2013 common seals and grey seals \u2013 are plentiful in Dublin Bay, and the best way to see them up close is by kayak.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can&#8217;t visit Dublin without popping in to visit some of its world-famous pubs. Filled to the brim with chatter, laughs and lots of characters.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Surfing-Ireland.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>3. Sligo<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Land and sea meet in dramatic fashion on the coast of Sligo. Strandhill offers the perfect match between western wilderness and modern comforts. You can go surfing in the morning, brunch at Shells Cafe and finish the day with an evening drink next to an open fire at one of the traditional pubs.<\/p>\n<p>For an extra dose of sea life, you can soak away your worries in a seaweed bath in the Voya Spa in Strandhill. It\u2019s not all surfing and mountains, Sligo\u2019s shops, restaurants and pubs will give you plenty to do.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/medium-se-belfast-7066.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>4.

Unique to the city, the tours are run by people who lived through the Troubles and know the city like no other. You\u2019ll learn about Belfast\u2019s past and get a history on their political murals.<\/p>\n<p>Belfast has a food scene that&#8217;s getting better by the day with Michelin star restaurants, to market stalls with fresh local produce, to laid-back restaurants with classic dishes.

If beaches are more your thing, Glanleam Beach is a subtropical paradise on the Wild Atlantic Way. Nestled in a sheltered valley on the Gulf Stream, it\u2019s one of the warmest beaches on the west coast.
