The charm of Galway Bay

Description

Head out of Dublin by train and travel to the fantastic region of Connemara in the west of Ireland.

When you arrive in Galway, you will take a plane from Connemara Airport to fly to the Aran Islands! Enjoy an incredible view of the Irish coast!

Take a break for lunch in the charming village of Kilronan before visiting the ruins of Dún Aengus fort, an archaeological site dating back to the Iron Age. From Dún Aengus fort you will be treated to a panorama of over 120km/74 miles of coast, while listening to your guide's stories of this fortress that was occupied by druids who used it in their Celtic religious ceremonies.

You will then jump back on the plane to Galway where you can enjoy some free time to explore the city at your own pace and to do some shopping.
