County Galway (& City)

Set Currency

Galway surpasses many other parts of Ireland in the spectacular variety and charm of its many scenic routes. But it also has more to offer in the way of slightly offbeat expeditions and experiences, in addition to all the usual visual attractions of Ireland's Atlantic seaboard.

Visiting the Aran Islands across the mouth of Galway Bay, for instance, can be done by air as well as by sea. However, as the much-visited Aran Islands have shown, the presence of an air service doesn’t seem to lessen the popularity of the ferries, and people often seem to think that you haven’t properly visited an island unless you go there by boat. Then, too, there are many coastal boat trips, including an informative seaborne tour from Killary Harbour on the county’s northwest coast, Ireland's only genuine fjord, while Lough Corrib is also served by miniature cruise liners.
