Belfast City
Belfast is an affordable and stylish place to stay on your tour of Ireland, with its newly designed comfortable hotels and fascinating history. Belfast is located between mountain and coast offering a visually stunning view from several angles. Belfast's small size makes it a wonderful shopping location, with trendy stores up and down Lisburn Road to knick-knack stalls and award-winning farmer's markets early Saturday mornings in St. George's Market.
Galway City
Hailing as the most westerly city in Ireland, Galway City is known as the City of Tribes, so named after the 14 most prosperous tribes who ruled during the middle ages. This city has a strong artistic background and a thriving arts and entertainment scene with summers that are a never-ending stream of festivals. Medieval streets and lively weekend markets make for a city retreat that you'll not soon forget and the Galway Races are regarded by many as Ireland's most colorful racing festival.

What are the best but fairly inexpensive places to stay in Ireland? I really don't want touristy type things. I know there are some great tourist attractions, and I may hit the majors but, this may be my only chance to go and I want experience it without all the tourist drama. I plan to visit as much of the country as I can. Particularly interested in the areas near County Carlow to start. Any safety precautions btw?
