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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Kayaking & Canoeing and Room Escape Games. Explore Galway's surroundings by going to Royal Abbey of Cong (in Cong), Rathcroghan Royal Site (in Tulsk) and Derryglad Folk & Heritage Museum (in Athlone). There's still lots to do: take in the dramatic natural features at Cliffs of Moher and play a few rounds at Dromoland Castle.
