Dublin, Galway, & The Wild Atlantic Way

01/12

Dublin, Galway, & Inis Mór: The Perfect Irish Escape

City energy, coastal charm, and Ireland’s stunning landscapes

Experience the perfect mix of Ireland’s city life, coastal charm, and natural wonders. Spend a few days exploring Dublin’s lively streets, rich history, and legendary pub culture before heading west to Galway, a medieval city perched on the edge of Western Europe along the Wild Atlantic Way.


Dublin, the vibrant capital of Ireland, is a city that seamlessly blends its rich history with modern innovation. Founded by the Vikings over a thousand years ago, Dublin has grown from its medieval roots into a thriving metropolis, renowned for its Georgian architecture, literary heritage, and dynamic cultural scene. From the cobbled streets of Temple Bar to the stately avenues of Georgian squares, the city’s character is etched into every corner. 


Galway’s unique character shines through its thriving arts scene, coastal cuisine, and deep musical traditions. Stroll through the historic Latin Quarter, admire the colorful Long Walk, and visit the famous Spanish Arch, where Galway’s maritime past comes to life. Discover the story of the Claddagh, once a thriving fishing village and home to the iconic Claddagh ring, or watch traditional Galway hooker boats sail along the River Corrib.


The adventure continues with a day trip to Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands, where ancient stone forts, rugged landscapes, and Gaelic traditions remain unchanged for centuries. Cruise back along the Wild Atlantic Way, taking in the breathtaking views of the towering Cliffs of Moher from the sea—an unforgettable finale to an incredible journey.


This trip is ideal for those seeking a blend of urban exploration, rich history, and Ireland’s breathtaking coastal beauty.
