Going on holiday in Galway
Galway is a fantastic city, whatever the month, with plenty of festivities and attractions to visit. The peak travel season is summer, from June through September. This is when the weather is at its best, and overseas visitors like to tour the country. While certainly not as busy as Dublin, accommodation prices rise and can book up. To avoid the crowds, try to travel outside of school holidays. The months that shoulder the summer period are also delightful, particularly in spring. This brings ideal hiking conditions in beauty spots like Connemara and along the coast of Galway. Rain is possible all year long, so remember to bring your waterproofs! While winter is noticeably wet, dark and foggy, Galway still buzzes with welcoming pubs and festive events. An international art festival arrives every August, and summertime events like the Galway Races can draw the crowds.

The opinion of the Voyage Privé travel expert on Galway
Galway’s maritime beauty resting on Ireland’s wild Atlantic shoreline is truly captivating. Bobbing fishing boats, rip-roaring pubs and an incredible seafood tradition all help define this city’s character. Medieval remnants and a colourful town centre captivate visitors to the sound of trad music and buskers. Yet it’s also buzzing and contemporary. A strong student population and artistic culture mean there’s always something fun going on.
