Galway Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

Take a trip to Galway on your Ireland vacation.

Galway is a city on Ireland's rugged western coast. A stroll through its streets will reveal a charming blend of medieval and modern landmarks, with an infectious sense of warmth from the locals. Galway's medieval roots are evident in the city's cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and ancient city walls. The Lynch's Castle, a medieval townhouse, and the Spanish Arch, a remnant of the city's fortifications, speak to its historical significance. 

The city thrives as a cultural hub, earning the title of City of Festivals. From the lively Galway International Arts Festival to the spirited Galway Races, there's a year-round celebration of the arts, music, and heritage. Don't miss the Galway Oyster Festival, a gastronomic delight. 

For a taste of the outdoors, head to Salthill, a scenic promenade along Galway Bay. Here, you can breathe in the salty sea air, dip in the Atlantic, or enjoy a leisurely walk with stunning coastal views. Galway's culinary scene is a fusion of traditional Irish dishes and international flavours. Immerse yourself in the hub for traditional Irish music and can catch impromptu sessions in its welcoming pubs. As the gateway to the enchanting Connemara region and the mesmerizing Aran Islands, Galway provides the perfect base for exploring the natural wonders of the Irish countryside.
