Galway is the 4th largest city in Ireland whose origins date back to 1124. Popularized by the Ed Sheeran song 'Galway Girl', the city is located on the western coast of Ireland and is perfect for a weekend getaway. Notable attractions include Galway Cathedral, Galway River Corrib Quay, the Spanish Arch, Eyre Square, Menlo Castle, the Claddagh, the Long Walk.

The city of Dublin has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Today, it is the capital of Ireland and is an Alpha minus Global city. My time here took me to the Guinness Brewery, the Jameson Distillery, as well as other landmarks like Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, Trinity Library, Phoenix Park, Grand Canal Square, and Christ Church and St. Patrick's Cathedrals.
