The atmosphere is festive, bars and restaurants are plentiful, and the history is worth well taking in. Spread over a number of lanes you will likely cover the historical and Latin quarter of Galway within a day or two (depending on your pace). It's certainly worth the time to stop by and admire the architecture and quaint shops.

What a fabulous place, lively and busy with people both local and tourists. Some nice shops and plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The street performers were very professional from a harpist to singers and a guy perfmorming with a football. Good to wander about and soak up the atmosphere. Grand!

Lovely vibe on this street. Visited on a Friday early evening and there was live music playing and the street was placed with people enjoying themselves. Looked to me lots of options for food and drink here though was unable to partake.

This Old Town section of Galway has a full range of shops, restaurants, and bars to suit all tastes. Plenty of outside dining/drinking space is available, weather permitting. This is a great area to simply stroll to get a feel for this very vibrant part of Galway. The amount of time you spend will certainly vary depending on your interests and any sort of dining/drinking you might do.
