Breakfast at your hotel and check out.
Before departing Galway, enjoy a short panoramic city tour with your driver‑guide, including a visit to Galway Cathedral and some free time to explore on your own.
Galway City is one of Ireland’s most vibrant and colorful destinations, known for its medieval lanes, lively arts scene, and deep sense of tradition. Street musicians, artisan shops, and centuries‑old pubs give the city its unmistakable charm, while its coastal setting and youthful energy create a blend of old and new that feels uniquely Galway.
Your visit includes Galway Cathedral, one of the city’s most striking landmarks. Completed in 1965 on the site of the former city jail, the cathedral is the last great stone church built in Ireland. Its massive octagonal dome, intricate mosaics, and blend of Renaissance, Romanesque, and Gothic influences make it architecturally distinctive. Inside, you’ll find notable artworks, including a mosaic of John F. Kennedy and beautiful stained‑glass windows. Outside, a simple white cross marks the location of the old prison graveyard, offering a quiet reminder of the site’s layered past.
After your city tour and free time, depart for Limerick, continuing your journey through Ireland’s historic west.
