No. 01
Eat & drink
A five-minute walk to Quay Street puts you among Galway's best - French, Italian, Thai, Irish - plus the city's old pubs and oyster bars.
Galway · Five minutes from your room

The hard part is choosing. The easy part is everything else.
No. 02
Listen to trad
Live sessions tumble out of The Crane, Tig Coili, and Taffes Bar most nights - and out of buskers' fingers all afternoon on Shop Street.
No. 03
Wander medieval streets
Spanish Arch, Lynch's Castle, the Long Walk by the docks. The old quarter is small enough to memorise in a morning, charming enough to keep walking all afternoon.
No. 04
The Cliffs of Moher
Ninety minutes south of your front door. Two hundred metres of basalt dropping into the Atlantic - best on a clear morning, with a flask in the bag.
No. 05
The road into Connemara
Forty minutes west and the city falls away to bog, blanket, and ocean. Drive the loop or walk a piece of it - half a day vanishes either way.
No. 06
A pub by the fire
Tigh Cóilí, Sheridan's, The King's Head. A pint of stout, a stranger's story, a fiddle starting up in the corner. The Irish night does the rest.
“Connemara is an hour west. The Atlantic is at the end of the road. The walk back to your room is well-lit and short.”
