Galway Day Trip (Ireland)

A few hours in Galway with the colorful storefronts and beautiful streets is enough to know you’d come back for a week — start with oysters and a Guinness and go from there.

Galway Day Trip
📍County Clare, Ireland
📒 Part of our Good Taste Guide to Dublin, Ireland

Why go: A few hours in Galway is enough to know you’d come back for a week. Colorful storefronts, independently owned shops, and restaurants that actually have something to say — this is a town with personality. Order the oysters with a Guinness and eat them somewhere you can watch the street. It’s the most Galway thing you can do and it delivers every time.

Book it: We booked this as part of a day trip from Dublin and stopped at the beautiful Cliffs of Moher first.
