Wave Goodbye to Winter and Welcome in the bright, fresh days of Spring…
Wave goodbye to winter and welcome in the bright, fresh days of spring with a short break in Galway City. Soak up the city, just to wander around the medieval streets and the fresh, crisp air. Or whittle away an evening in a cosy pub with friends.
March and April are a great time to visit Galway. Top attractions won’t be as busy as in the summer season, and you can get lucky with the weather to get out and about. Still, this is Galway – and it’s best to come prepared for all 4 seasons in a day!
