Galway Day Trip Guide: Coastlines, Connemara Roads and Chauffeurs
Rain slants sideways off Eyre Square, drumming a relentless rhythm against the limestone shopfronts as you zip your raincoat to the chin and step out toward the coach parking bays. You are standing right where the Corrib River meets the Atlantic wind, and the salt air makes you instantly thirsty for a pint of stout in a dark-paneled pub. When the weather outside feels this raw, the best move is to slide into a leather passenger seat and let someone else navigate the single-track boreens winding out toward the western seaboard. Best Budget Day Trips # Since our available data starts at $792 EUR, traditional budget backpacker buses do not populate our current selection. If you are watching your spending closely, your best bet is to save your cash for independent public bus routes operated by Bus Éireann out of Galway Bus Station, rather than booking any of the premium private excursions currently on offer.
