Ready to explore Galway? Here are some of our top recommendations.
Stroll around the city
Galway’s city centre is super picturesque, and the best way to explore it is on foot. Listen to the buskers as you stroll through Shop Street, check out the pretty Latin Quarter and take in the iconic Spanish Arch.
Kai Restaurant
Pop into Kai Restaurant for lunch or dinner on your next trip and enjoy some quality food made with honest, local ingredients. The menu here changes regularly, but one permanent fixture is their signature fish fingers.
Salthill Promenade
Breathe in that fresh Atlantic breeze during a walk along the beautiful Salthill Promenade, and, if the conditions are right (and you’re feeling brave enough!) you can even take a dip in the ocean.
The Dough Bros
This year, this Galway pizza institution was voted the 15th best pizzeria in the world, so it goes without saying that it deserves a spot on your Galwegian agenda. Tuck into some of our personal favourites – the Stinger and the Pep Guardijala.
