4 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 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.
