Enrich your Galway experience with Citysightseeing Galway. This is a 24 or 48 hour hop-on hop-off bus tour that stops near all the major Galway attractions and is the ideal way to see the City of the Tribes at your leisure.
The Citysightseeing Galway Bus Tour will take you around the most prominent attractions that Galway has to offer. Enjoy the view from the open-top red buses and whenever you spot something you would like to explore further, just hop-off!
Learn about the fantastic culture and history of the beautiful City of the Tribes. You can listen to the informative audio guides as you cruise through the city. The tour covers eight fascinating attractions, departing first from the vibrant Eyre Square.
The bus travels from Eyre Square to stop three - Spanish Arch, two remaining arches that were part of the extension of the city wall, built in the 16th century. The area is home to the Galway City Museum, with a collection of artefacts related mainly to the fishing industry, consistent with the city traditions, and a dedicated medieval section.
Bus stops four and five await you for a nice stroll around Salthill Village and Promenade. Take in the marine breeze and enjoy the view of the Clare Hills to the right and Galway City to the left. Don't forget to bring your camera, as the views are rather spectacular.
You will then drive through Newcastle quarter, as you take in the 360 degree panoramic views from the open-top. Bus stop nine is a must visit - Galway Cathedral. Entrance is free, so hop-off and be amazed at its stunning architecture and colourful interior.
During the peak summer months, the frequency of the Citysightseeing Bus increases to every 45 minutes. The meeting point for stop one is 36-40 Eyre Square, right outside the Explore Galway Kiosk.
