The city – Galway
Galway, the cultural capital of Ireland, has 66,000 inhabitants and is a privileged city thanks to its location and dynamism. There are many festivals and cultural events throughout the country, especially the Galway Arts Festival, an international festival of music, theater and cinema that keeps the city alive for most of the month of July.
Galway is located on the west coast of Ireland and offers visitors spectacular landscapes such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Connemara Peninsula and the Aran Islands.
Getting to Galway: the airports of Galway and Shannon are the closest. However, there is usually a stopover because there are only a few direct flights. It is best to fly to Dublin or Cork and from there by train or bus to Galway.
The trip takes approximately two and a quarter hours, but you can take a bus from the same airport from Dublin to Galway.
In addition, you can fly from the following destinations in Spain to the airport: Alicante, Girona, Malaga, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife.
