When adventure is calling and you're in a time crunch, day trips are the perfect solution. These four from Galway will do the trick for anyone visiting Ireland.
These sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of Ireland, in the Burren region of County Clare, are a peacefully mesmerizing Irish attraction.
Safely paved pathways allow visitors to take in the beauty of the view inclusive of the cliffs, Galway Bay and the Aran islands.
Three isles guard Galway Bay, before the Cliffs of Moher. They're known as the Aran Islands, Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer.
Known for its bike culture and fascinating stone walls, the Aran Islands offer more than views.
Southwestern Irish attractions go beyond the cliffs, bay and isles to Connemara and the Burren.
Connemara is known for its tiny coves and fishing villages.
Visitors will also find herds of Connemara ponies and venues for traditional Irish music.
Burren National Park is one of eight in Ireland and holds 70% of the country's native flowers.
This stunning display of nature is home to rocks more than 350 million years old.
