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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Galway: Ballyvaughan (Backwest Adventures, Caher Bridge Garden, &more), Bunratty (Bunratty Castle & Folk Park & Shannon Heritage) and Ballymorris Pottery (in Cratloe).
