Galway is the perfect home base for exploring the Cliffs of Moher and other gems in Western Ireland, but there’s plenty to enjoy in the city itself. Galway tours show you the town’s medieval landmarks, lively Latin Quarter, and locally-loved venues for live Irish folk music. You can even opt for tours spotlighting Galway’s traditional pubs or chilling ghost stories. If you fancy getting out of the city, simply follow a guide to the seaside villages, mountainside castles, and sheep-speckled hiking trails near Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher.

People Also Ask
Q:Are guided tours in Galway worth it?
A:

Galway tours allow you to get outside the city to some of the area’s must-see natural beauty that may be difficult to access on your own. The Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, and the Aran Islands all lie within striking distance of the city, and a guided tour lets you focus on enjoying the sites rather than dreading the logistics of getting there.

Q:How much do Galway tours cost?
A:

There is a wide range of price points for Galway tours—self-guided tours in the city center or skip-the-line tickets may cost as little as a few dollars a person, while guided full-day excursions may be around US$200. There’s something to do for every budget.

Q:Are there day trips from Galway?
A:

Yes, there are many excellent day trips from Galway. In fact, Galway is a perfect jumping-off point for Western Ireland, with good access to the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, and much more. World-class hiking is also within a day’s trip of the city—Galway tours can be a great way to explore all this and more.

Q:How many days do you need to visit Galway?
A:

The city of Galway is small, and you may be able to see the major sights in just a day or two. However, the real stars are outside the city center and include the desolate beauty of the Burren, the excellent hiking of Connemara, and the iconic vistas of the Cliffs of Moher. Seeing all that nature—plus indulging in the culinary scene of the city—may take a week.
