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 Kayaking & Canoeing and Derryglad Folk & Heritage Museum. Get out of town with these interesting Galway side-trips: Oughterard (Aughnanure Castle & Glengowla Mines), Kilkee Cliff Walk (in Kilkee) and Turoe Pet Farm and Leisure Park (in Loughrea). Spend the 16th (Sun) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. It doesn't end there: cruise along Loop Head.
