A short panoramic drive through Galway City affords a glimpse of the famous Eyre Square, the city's crown jewel. Look for beautiful Galway Cathedral, the largest stone church in Ireland. Oddly, it is located on the site of the former city jail.
Leaving the city, you'll proceed through some of County Galway's most beautiful countryside. Along the way, you'll view the seaside resort of Salthill on the northern inner shore of Galway Bay. The Aran Islands are visible to the right. Directly across Galway Bay is The Burren district of County Clare, and to the west are the bogs and mountains of Connemara.
You'll pass through the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area of Spiddal before turning north through the eastern edge of Connemara. Marvel at the ever-changing landscape as you pass through the small villages of Maam Cross and Moycullen.
Enjoy a stop en route for refreshments and time to stretch your legs.
Notes: Tour consists mainly of sightseeing from the transportation. Stops are brief, and participants can remain in the vehicle.
