About staying in Galway
Galway city is the natural centre for a stay in County Galway, sitting where the River Corrib meets Galway Bay on the west coast, about 187 kilometres in a straight line from Dublin Airport. Most places to stay are in the city itself, with smaller clusters in Oranmore to the east, Claregalway inland, and Bearna and Moycullen towards Connemara. Visitors can choose between city hotels, guesthouses and hostels, or self catering and B&Bs in the surrounding countryside. Parking, family rooms and pet friendly places are all available, so stays can be shaped around a city break, a family trip or a longer tour of the west.
