City of the Tribes
A major hub for visitors exploring Ireland's western regions, Galway serves as a city of art and culture, renowned for its vibrant lifestyle and numerous festivals.Change things up with these side-trips from Galway: Aillwee Cave (in Ballyvaughan) and Bunratty Castle (in Bunratty). There's still lots to do: explore the striking landscape of Connemara National Park, don't miss a visit to Quay Street, head outdoors with Wild Atlantic Way, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Eyre Square.
For reviews, ratings, photos, and other tourist information, you can read our Galway holiday planner.
If you are flying in from Spain, the closest major airports are Dublin Airport, Shannon Airport and Cork Airport. In August, daily temperatures in Galway can reach 22°C, while at night they dip to 14°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 31st (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
