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 in touch with nature at Connemara National Park & Visitor Centre and Burren National Park. Do some cultural sightseeing at Salthill Promenade and Poulnabrone Dolmen. Step out of Galway to go to Ballyvaughan and see Burren Birds of Prey Centre, which is approximately 48 minutes away. There's still lots to do: cruise along Wild Atlantic Way, don't miss a visit to Quay Street, take in the spiritual surroundings of Corcomroe Abbey, and admire the landmark architecture of Galway Cathedral.
