About Bohermore
Bohermore is an established inner-city neighbourhood on the eastern side of Galway city, immediately adjoining the City Centre and centred around the Bohermore Road and College Road corridors. It is a compact, urban area with a mix of period homes, apartments, student accommodation and local commercial premises, giving it a lively, convenient feel rather than a suburban one. Residents are within easy walking distance of Eyre Square, Shop Street, Galway’s Latin Quarter and the city’s major shopping and cultural venues. Education is a strong feature of the wider area, with primary and secondary schools nearby as well as University of Galway and ATU Galway accessible by bus, bicycle or on foot. Bohermore Road and College Road provide frequent city-bus connections, while Galway railway station and the main coach station at Ceannt Station are close to the centre. Local day-to-day shopping is available along Bohermore and nearby streets, with larger retail areas around Eyre Square and Galway Shopping Centre; cafés, takeaways, restaurants and traditional pubs are plentiful across the adjoining centre. Leisure options include nearby parks, the canal and river walks, city libraries, gyms and sports facilities, while landmarks such as Galway Cathedral and the historic city centre are readily accessible. Its central position is particularly attractive to students, city workers and residents who value walkability, although traffic, parking pressure and city-centre activity can be noticeable at busy times.
