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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Aillwee Cave (in Ballyvaughan) and Bunratty Castle & Folk Park (in Bunratty). Spend the 14th (Sat) among the memorable landscape of The Burren. There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Quay Street, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Corcomroe Abbey, admire the striking features of Galway Cathedral, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Salthill Promenade.
