City of the Tribes
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 Bunratty Castle & Folk Park (in Bunratty), Aillwee Cave (in Ballyvaughan) and Cliffs of Moher (in Liscannor). There's still lots to do: explore the striking landscape of Connemara National Park, tour the pleasant surroundings at Eyre Square, ride a horse along Drummindoo Stud, and admire the natural beauty at Kylemore Abbey & Victorian Walled Garden.
To find reviews, ratings, where to stay, and more tourist information, use the Galway trip planner.
If you are flying in from Spain, the closest major airports are Dublin Airport, Shannon Airport and Cork Airport. In August, plan for daily highs up to 22°C, and evening lows to 14°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 16th (Thu) so you can travel back home.
