  • Really enjoyed Galway's River walk - it was almost a case of 'water, water, everywhere', rushing on towards Galway Bay. It is an easy stroll with lots to draw your interest along the way. We followed ...  more »
  • The walk you can boot from the Spanish Gate but also in other places. Nice walk along a river with fishermen who catch salmon and we saw two seals in the River (also looking for salmon). Also take some time out to have a picnic to sit on benches or just on the grass. Do!

Where to stay in Galway

Stay at the center of Ireland's "Most Irish City," Galway City, by booking a hotel or hostel near Eyre Square, from which all city sights are walkable. If you prefer accommodation with more character, stay at a charming guesthouse or bed and breakfast just outside of the center, or look for lodging in the city's Latin Quarter, a bohemian neighborhood lined with cafes, galleries, and pubs. If you want to explore Galway County, book accommodations in the city, since it's a tourism and transportation hub on the West Coast. If you prefer the quiet countryside, seek out small, family-owned guesthouses on the Aran Islands or a cottage on the Connemara Peninsula.
