Connemara National Park
Burren & Cliffs of Moher.
The cliffs are quite spectacular and can be visited in a half day alone but its is also worth taking time to explore the unique Burren landscape, ancient burial sites and caves. There are many nice villages to explore, you can surf and golf in Lahinch. Ennis is a nice town to explore and perhaps have dinner before your onward journey.
All these can be explored by bus tour or in your car.

The Heart of the city - relax on the grass during the summer months and soak up the atmosphere of Galway city. The fountain centrepiece consists of a copper-coloured representation of the sails of the Galway Hooker. This was a traditional fishing boat, unique to Galway, which has gained fame because of its widespread use in times past, its importance to the port of Galway , and its unusual and attractive appearance. A bust of US President John F. Kennedy stands in the Eyre Square park. The park is also named after him, and it was erected on the spot from where he addressed the people of Galway on a visit in 1963.

Located close to the city centre, it stretches along the River Corrib. The oldest part of the university, the Quadrangle building with its Aula Maxima was designed by John Benjamin Keane; it is a replica of Christ Church, one of the colleges at the University of Oxford. The stone from which it is built was supplied locally from the Menlo area.

The Spanish Arch, which is located on the banks of the river Corrib, was built in 1584. It was originally an extension of the famous city walls, designed to protect the quays. The Spanish Arch is, in fact, a misnomer, as there is no proven association between the Spanish in Galway and the building of the Arch. Take the river walk from here the whole way to the Cathedral and the University. Stop off at the Cafe in Born, called Taste for home made pastries and cakes and excellent coffee before you cross the Salmon Weir bridge. (You can see the cafe terrace form the walkway)
