Weekend Breaks in Galway

If you’re looking to visit a contemporary city that’s buzzing with bohemian vibes and steeped in history, Galway weekend breaks could be perfect for you. All set to a stirring backdrop at the mouth of the River Corrib on Ireland’s beautiful west coast, dip your toes into the local culture at the Galway City Museum, followed by a visit to the Spanish Arch. Walking and cycling tours are a great way to explore this relatively condensed city centre, where you’ll find landmarks like Galway Cathedral and Eyre Square. If you’re headed out of town to check out the surrounding countryside then Dunguaire Castle is a good place to start, while Galway International Arts Festival is something to look out for if you’re visiting in the summer.

After you’ve meandered past remains of the medieval town walls and wandered along the promenade that takes you to the seaside suburb of Salthill, head back to Jurys Inn Galway for a hotel with an incredible view. Perched on Quay Street in the midst of the historic city centre, many of our 130 rooms offer incredible views across the river and out to Galway Bay. Fling open the curtains to admire the vistas from the comfort of your bed, and take advantage of the free Wi-Fi as you wait for room service to arrive. Take a look at our Galway City Guide to discover the amazing attractions you can visit while staying at our stunning hotel.
