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.You'll discover tucked-away gems like Nature & Wildlife Tours and Burren Birds of Prey Centre. Get out of town with these interesting Galway side-trips: National Museum of Ireland - Country Life (in Castlebar) and Dunguaire Castle (in Kinvara). There's lots more to do: stroll through Croagh Patrick, explore the activities along Galway Bay, pause for some photo ops at Galway City Museum, and contemplate the long history of Poulnabrone Dolmen.
