About Galway
While today Galway is Ireland's fourth-largest city, it began as a medieval Norman fort. After weathering centuries of ups and downs, Galway earned the title "The Cultural Heart of Irelandâ. Here, youâll experience Irish culture at its best. Youâll hear the Irish language daily, see hand-made wool sweaters, and bob your head to traditional Irish music in a city that still very much feels like a traditional fishing port.
Getting from Killarney to Galway will be an undoubtedly fun ride, especially with Daytrip. But there are always some ways to improve everything, right? Follow these travel tips to make sure you have an unforgettable experience.
Prepare for the Irish weather
On your way from Killarney to Galway, youâll be passing along the southwest of Ireland, meaning that regardless of the season, it will never be scorching hot. It also means it could rain at any time. So bring your rain jacket, a thick or a light one depending on the season, and a sweater that can protect you from the cold mornings and evenings when you stop along the way. Pack a thermos filled with that one warm drink you like to keep you cozy. Since you are in Ireland, maybe a hot Irish whiskey (check here for a recipe!) or the famous Irish coffee? You don't have to drive after all!
Turn your car ride into an Irish tour
Use the luxury of traveling via private car service to create an amazing Irish adventure. This coastal journey offers a rich selection of places to explore, from medieval castles to natural landmarks. Daytrip makes it easy to visit the UNESCO-listed Cliffs of Moher, one of the most sought-after destinations in Ireland. Stretching for more than eight miles and reaching heights of up to 700 feet, these sea cliffs are insane. Make time for walking along cliffs through the trails, or just enjoy the views and save them in your camera.
How to get from Killarney to Galway
If you're trying to figure out how to get from Killarney to Galway, you have several options: booking a door-to-door private car, taking a bus or some trains, driving a rental car, or even hiking or cycling. Consider whatâs important to you â speed, comfort, cost, or adventure when deciding how you make the journey.
Killarney to Galway by private car
A private car ride with Daytrip is the only direct transportation option from Killarney to Galway. Your private driver will pick you up at your doorstep in Killarney and safely bring you to your accommodation in Galway in just 2.5 hours. Daytrip gives you complete control over your trip while saving you the drawbacks of driving yourself. Driving in a different country, notably in Ireland where the traffic flows on the left side of the road, can be quite confusing for some.
But Daytrip is more than just the fastest transportation option. Your driver is a proud local who will happily share their insights on the area and offer some travel tips. Plus, Daytrip lets you visit the top sights en route, including the famous Cliffs of Moher. You can personalize your experience by tailoring the stops youâd like to take, restaurants to dine in, and castles to take pictures of!
Killarney to Galway by bus
There are direct buses from Killarney to Galway, but because of the narrow roads and stops, the trip takes roughly four to five hours. Companies like Bus Ăireann operate on this route but some require a transfer in Limerick. Taking a bus from Killarney to Galway is generally the most budget-friendly option but not the fastest or most comfortable.
Killarney to Galway by train
Unfortunately, thereâs no direct train from Killarney to Galway. You will need to travel from Killarney to Limerick Junction, then to Limerick, and finally catch a train to Galway. Just like the bus ride, this option also takes about four to five hours, considering transfer times. It is definitely more comfortable and scenic than the bus ride though, especially if you appreciate train journeys. Book your tickets in advance here.
Killarney to Galway by rental car
If you want complete control of your trip, you can rent a car and drive from Killarney to Galway. The most direct route is the N22 to Limerick and then the M18 to Galway. The distance between Killarney and Galway is approximately 129 miles (208 km) and driving takes around two hours and 45 minutes, depending on traffic. With a reliable GPS, you shouldn't have much trouble, though things get more hairy if you get off the main road for sightseeing. And remember, they drive on the left! It's easy to slip into your usual driving habits, so be especially careful.
Killarney to Galway by cycling or hiking
If you have the time and are feeling adventurous, you can cycle or hike from Killarney all the way to Galway. Skip this option if you are not a very experienced cyclist or hiker. It is essential to plan your route carefully, considering your fitness level and the weather. Naturally, it takes several days but is an amazing adventure, stopping in small coastal villages as you make your way along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Things to do when you get to Galway
Youâll have plenty of things to do when you get to Galway from Killarney. While you are here, make the most of the Irish drinks, foods, cliffs, parks, and pubs! Hereâs a quick itinerary to consider when planning your days in Galway.
Hang out at the Latin Quarter
Galway's heart beats at the Latin Quarter, where centuries-old streets and historic monuments like the Spanish Arch, Eyre Square, and Galway Cathedral lay the backdrop for the sounds of traditional Irish music. Spend your evenings here and dive into Irish culture through its melodies. While nearly every pub has live music starting at "9-ish", take a look here for up-to-date information on upcoming festivals and events.
Bike your way through the Aran Islands
The Aran Islands are a group of three islands, Inis MĂłr, Inis Oirr, and Inis Meain, that are a short ferry ride from Galway. They're famous for their rugged beauty and archeological sites, so be sure to save some time for them. If you can't make it to all three, go for Inis MĂłr. It's the largest and most popular. The islands are perfect for hiking and especially for biking. Hire your bike from Alan Islands Bike Hire for a day here and enjoy the windy, blue, and green atmosphere of the cliffs.
Binge on the best seafood youâve ever had
Galway boasts some of the best seafood in the whole country. Smoked salmon and eel, seafood chowder, and local mussels cooked with garlic and cream sauce round are staples. And then thereâs the local oysters, which are widely lauded as the best in the world. If youâre roaming and need something to bring with you, spice bags (a street food of fries, chicken, and spicy peppers) will keep your tank full. And instead of Dublin-based Guinness, wash your meals down with Galway Hooker Irish Stout.
When is the best time to visit Galway
The best time to visit Galway is during the summer months, from June to August when the weather is simply nice, and the city comes alive with festivals and outdoor activities.
Galway never gets hot, but this period offers the warmest temperatures, ideal for exploring Galway's streets, beautiful beaches, islands around, and the nearby Connemara National Park. Donât miss the Galway International Arts Festival in July which is a highlight, showcasing an exciting mix of music, literature, and arts, drawing visitors from around the globe.
The Galway Races in late July and early August are a must-see event, offering a week of thrilling horse racing and lively celebrations. Though these months are the peak tourist season, resulting in higher accommodation prices and busier attractions, the atmosphere, and the array of events make it the best time to experience the true essence of Galway's culture and hospitality.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
