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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Thomond Park Stadium and Royal Abbey of Cong. Get in touch with nature at Connemara National Park & Visitor Centre and Dog's Bay Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Foxford Woollen Mills & Visitor Centre (in Foxford), Rathcroghan Royal Site & Visitor Centre (in Tulsk) and Loughwell Farm Park (in Moycullen). There's still lots to do: step into the grandiose world of Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, relax in the rural setting at Rathbaun Farm, and get all the equipment you need at All Things Connemara.
