Things to do in Galway - Places to Visit in Galway
"On the shores of Galway Bay, the Connemara Coast Hotel is the perfect place to spend a little me-time, especially in the luxury spa. Book time in the Therapy Rooms and look forward to an Aromatherapy Massage or more rigorous Swedish massage. Natural aromatic oils are used in the Hot Stones Massage that delivers deep heat to inner bone and tissue."
"You’ll find the Connemara Coast Hotel on the shores of Galway Bay, where it boasts a luxury spa, Therapy Rooms and plenty more. This award winning 4 star hotel offers the best of both worlds – easy access to the city (15 minutes away) and Connemara. It’s also right next to the sea!"

"Enjoy some authentic Italian food in the heart of Salthill after a walk on the Prom with a takeaway from Da Roberta’s on the Upper Salthill Road. Their menu of classic Italian Linguine, Tagliatelle, and Lasagne with meatballs, chicken and homemade sauces will take you back to sun-soaked afternoons in Italy. At the same time, there’s a taste of the west of Ireland here too; the Linguine with Tiger Prawns and cherry tomato sauce is a must-have!"
"Out in Salthill, combine a stop here with a walk along the prom and you're winning. It tastes better if you work for it. I'd even go so far as to class Da Roberta's as one of Galway's best Italian restaurants (don't let their sporadic social media presence fool you otherwise)."
"Leanmaneh Castle is a fantastic castle that is situated in the town of Leanmaneh North, in County Clare. The origins of the castle date back to the late 15th century, and it is believed to have been constructed by the O’Brien family; the castle was later renovated into a manor house, and it merged its function as a military centre with its residential qualities. The castle fell into ruin during the 18th century, and it has not been renovated since then; it exists on privately owned land, in a farming region of the area, and due to its poor-quality state, it is unfortunately not open to the public."
"Dún Aonghasa on Inis MorInis Mor The easiest way to get to Inis Mor is by taking a ferry from Ros a' Mhíl/Rossaveal, which is located about 50 minutes from Galway. You can either drive yourself to Rossaveal, or take advantage of the shuttle bus that leaves from central Galway about 1.5 hours before sailing in the morning."
"Dún Aonghasa is one of the largest prehistoric stone forts in Europe and stands guard over Inis Mór on the edge of a 100-metre sheer cliff drop. Sometimes anglicised as Dun Aengus, the fort was built around 1100... Top ChoiceNational Park in Letterfrack & Around"
"Aillwee Cave is a popular destination for Irish families and visitors alike. With a massive cave featuring an underground waterfall, and daily demonstrations of their Birds of Prey show and more, it’s a unique experience you won’t forget. Take a thirty-minute tour through the dramatic underworld of Aillwee Cave."
"The longest stalactite in the northern hemisphere, measuring 7.3m, is the draw of the Doolin Cave, 3.5km north of Roadford. Tour times vary seasonally, but are usually on the hour. Glacial clay from deep within the cave is used by on-site potter Caireann Browne, who sells her works here. The property also has a 1km-long farmland trail featuring rare animal breeds, and a cafe."
"These days people do like to know they’re eating locally grown food, they feel good about contributing to the economy, especially when they’re tourists, and the GFP in Salthill is all about fresh and locally grown food. Although this is one of the more casual places to eat in Salthill, the food packs a punch!. The Calamari is delicious, as is the Beef Burger and we shared a Nutella cheesecake, although ‘Himself’ was a bit greedy and had more than his share!"
"Taking the leap outside of Dublin with their location in our lovely Salthill, Gourmet Food Parlour has been an incredibly welcomed addition to Galway’s foodie scene. The gorgeous, trendy interiors are complemented by their food and the weekend brunch served from 9am-5pm really takes the cake. Huevos rancheros, sandwiches and salads aplenty, they’ve even got some main courses that will really set you up for the day."
"Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites offers a remarkable, carefully designed experience on the remote, beautiful and windswept island of Inishmaan. Ruairí and Marie-Thérèse de Blacam’s splendid and intimate enterprise is only a few years old – but is already famous for sky-high quality and immersive island magic."
"Those that visit Samyo in Salthill can expect fresh food, quickly seated and served by lovely staff and reasonably priced. There’s been an explosion of street-food restaurants around the country, and ‘Himself’ so far has avoided visiting with me (no bacon and cabbage options, you see) but I got him in, eventually. He had the BBQ Ribs and Tum Yum soup, and he loved every morsel."

"The heart of Galway is brimming with restaurants and pubs, but it is worth the trip out to the Salthill area to experience more of the city, as well as to stop for a pint at O’Connor’s. The pub considers itself famous for its singsongs and it is certainly famous among the visitors who fill the bar in the summer. The cheery yellow pub has adopted a “more is more” approach to decorations so it can be hard to know where to look when you first step inside."
"If you’re strolling down Upper Salthill Road, it’s pretty hard to miss this Galway bar. Painted a sunny yellow, with “O’Connor’s” in bold black lettering, this is a favored bar for many locals. Once inside, the decor will likely blow you away; knickknacks and odds and ends are hanging from every free inch of space on the ceiling."
