3 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.

Salthill Promenade and Corcomroe Abbey are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Step out of the city life by going to Burren Birds of Prey Centre and Cliffs of Moher. Get out of town with these interesting Galway side-trips: Dromore Wood Nature Reserve (in Ennis), Dromoland Castle (in Newmarket-on-Fergus) and Aillwee Cave (in Ballyvaughan). There's still lots to do: admire the landmark architecture of Galway Cathedral and contemplate the long history of Poulnabrone Dolmen.
