Galway and Western Ireland is the perfect place for a romantic holiday drive. You can sample small town friendliness, rugged coastlines and barren mountains. You can stay in striking castles or in small cosy country inns. For more action stay some nights in Galway, which has a surprisingly vital nightlife thanks to its university and many students.
