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.

Step out of the city life by going to Connemara National Park & Visitor Centre and Burren National Park. You'll discover tucked-away gems like Burren Birds of Prey Centre and Royal Abbey of Cong. Explore Galway's surroundings by going to National Museum of Ireland - Country Life (in Castlebar), Leenane (Killary Sheep Farm & Killary Fjord) and Cliffs of Moher (in Liscannor). And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sand and surf at Lahinch Beach, explore the activities along Galway Bay, experience rural life at Joyce Country Sheepdogs, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Croagh Patrick.
