faq.subtitle Galway
May-September for best weather. July hosts Galway Arts Festival and Races. Summer has long daylight hours but expect some rain year-round
City center is very walkable. Car recommended for Connemara, Cliffs of Moher, and Aran Islands ferry port. Buses available for day trips
Ferry from Rossaveal (40 min drive from Galway, shuttles available) takes 40 min to Inis Mór. Small planes from Connemara Airport also available. Book ahead in summer
More affordable than Dublin. Budget travelers can manage on €75/day with hostels and street food. Mid-range €150/day. Accommodation is main expense
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Galway
Get a TFI Leap Card for buses - significantly cheaper than cash fares and works across Ireland
Book Aran Islands ferry and accommodation well in advance during summer months - they sell out
Enjoy free traditional Irish music sessions (trad sessions) at pubs on Quay Street most evenings
Dress in layers and always carry a rain jacket - weather changes quickly and rain is common
City centre is very compact - walk everywhere and don't miss the colourful Long Walk by Spanish Arch
