From street performers to traditional shopfronts, Galway captures the heart of Ireland’s west coast like nowhere else. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure. Walk along the Salthill Promenade as the sun sets over Galway Bay, browse independent boutiques and craft shops, or immerse yourself in the sounds of traditional Irish music spilling from cozy pubs. After a memorable evening, unwind during a comfortable overnight stay in Galway, refreshed and ready for the adventures ahead.
