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.

Head to Spiddal Craft & Design Studios and Town and Country Interiors Athleaguefor plenty of shopping. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Burren National Park and Lahinch Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Burren Birds of Prey Centre (in Ballyvaughan), Burren Perfumery (in Carran) and National Museum of Ireland - Country Life (in Castlebar). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Rathcroghan Royal Site & Visitor Centre, contemplate the long history of Poulnabrone Dolmen, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Royal Abbey of Cong, and pause for some photo ops at Galway City Museum.
