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.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Lahinch Beach and Hag's Head. Change things up with these side-trips from Galway: Derryglad Folk and Heritage Museum (in Athlone), Burren Perfumery (in Carran) and Rathcroghan Royal Site & Visitor Centre (in Tulsk). There's more to do: take in the local highlights with Walking tours and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.

To find where to stay, maps, more things to do, and tourist information, go to the Galway trip planner.

In September, daily temperatures in Galway can reach 17°C, while at night they dip to 10°C. Wrap up your sightseeing by early afternoon on the 24th (Mon) to allow enough time to travel back home.
