6 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.

Visit Bunratty Castle and Poulnabrone Dolmen for their historical value. Visiting Lahinch Beach and Salthill Beaches will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Sky Rd (in Clifden), Cliffs of Moher (in Liscannor) and Ashford Castle (in Cong). And it doesn't end there: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Connemara National Park, kick back and relax at Fanore Beach, take in the spiritual surroundings of Corcomroe Abbey, and get outside with Hillwalk Tours.
