3 days in Galway Itinerary

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.

Get out of town with these interesting Galway side-trips: Cliffs of Moher (in Liscannor) and Aillwee Cave (in Ballyvaughan). Spend the 2nd (Tue) among the memorable landscape of The Burren. There's still lots to do: take a memorable drive along Wild Atlantic Way Day Tours, get to know the fascinating history of Salthill Promenade, take in the spiritual surroundings of Corcomroe Abbey, and don't miss a visit to Quay Street.
