Day 3: Derry - Galway
Heading out from Derry, we make our way to Galway, joining up with the famous Wild Atlantic Way, the longest coastal drive in the world and probably the most scenic! After a comfort stop along the way, arrive in Galway in the early afternoon. Enjoy some free time in this arty, bohemian city that boasts a vibrant ambience, thanks to its large student population. With students making up a quarter of the population, you’ll find plenty of bars and cafés, some of which will feature live music. Check out the remnants of the medieval town walls or take a stroll down the promenade to Salthill, on Galway Bay, source of the area’s delicious well known oysters.
