Galway Hotels

The City of the Tribes dates back almost 900 years and offers a glimpse at traditional Irish life and a base for trips into the green west of Ireland.

Choosing A Galway Hotel

Galway is a relatively small city with a good bus network, meaning wherever hotels in Galway are located you can easily get around. If you are on a budget your primary concern should be to find cheap Galway hotels near public transport or the centre, as taxis can be expensive or a good alternative can be Galway car hire). The good news is cheap Galway hotels are located both in the centre and the popular tourist area of Salthill. If you want to get a real taste of Irish culture, finding a small hotel or bed and breakfast run by locals can really improve your visit with local knowledge and real Irish food.

When To Visit Galway

With a climate that is mild year round, Galway does not have the temperature extremes that can make seasons in other cities unbearable. After you step off from one of the cheap flights to Galway now available, you will want to be able to see the city you are visiting in winter where daylight lasts less than seven hours is not ideal. Visiting in midsummer meanwhile you will see sunshine for up to nineteen hours, although going in later summer will likely also give you thunderstorms. Galway often hosts the Volvo Ocean Race as well as Races and Art Festivals at different times each year, which you could time to coincide with your visit.
