Best Things to Do in Galway

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Galway

This lively city on the west coast of Ireland is often considered the "real" city of Ireland; it isn't as cosmopolitan as Dublin, and it doesn't have the dark past of Belfast. Galway is bright and lively, known for its thumping folk music scene, festivals, and genuine Irish hospitality.

Top Galway Experiences

Walking through the medieval streets of Galway, and seeing the impressive Spanish Art while learning about the city’s history as a center of international trade.

Trying some fresh fish and chips while overlooking the beautiful river Corrib.

Taking a ferry from Galway Bay to go hiking through the beaches, farmland, and sea cliffs on the Aran Islands.

Having a delicious dram of whiskey while listening to traditional Celtic music, with half of the pub stomping their feet and singing along.

Going on a food tour and learning all about the local food products from around Galway, as well as getting a solid grasp on Irish cuisine!

It was good. The Maldron hotels were my least favorite of the hotels. The older quaint hotels were the best.

The itinerary was good but it was way too rushed at each location. Spending more time in each city would have been preferred in order to fully explore the city.
