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.

Get outdoors at Cliffs of Moher and Dromoland Castle. Let the collections at Derryglad Folk and Heritage Museum and Michael Davitt Museum capture your imagination. Venture out of the city with trips to Coole Park Nature Reserve (in Gort), Caherconnell Stone Fort & Sheepdog Demonstrations (in Caherconnell) and Burren National Park (in Corofin). There's lots more to do: step into the grandiose world of Aughnanure Castle, enjoy the sand and surf at Salthill Beaches, grab your bike and head to The Great Western Greenway, and take in the spiritual surroundings of National Shrine of Our Lady of Knock.
