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 discover tucked-away gems like Kayaking & Canoeing and Ashford Castle. Get in touch with nature at Burren National Park and Galway Bay. Venture out of the city with trips to Killary Fjord (in Leenane), Burren Birds of Prey Centre (in Ballyvaughan) and Royal Abbey of Cong (in Cong). There's lots more to do: contemplate the long history of Poulnabrone Dolmen, step into the grandiose world of Dunguaire Castle, and don't miss a visit to Croagh Patrick.
