Local knowledge for Galway
Where to stay
Budget travelers cluster around Eyre Square and down toward the Spanish Arch, with hostels on and just off Shop Street putting you within a short walk of everything worth seeing. Quay Street and Foster Street are the densest for beds, noise included.
Getting around
- The Saturday market behind St. Nicholas' Church on Market Street runs year-round and has the cheapest hot lunch in the city center, well below any nearby cafe.
- Salthill is a 40-minute walk along the coast from Eyre Square. Walk the promenade out and dip your foot in the Atlantic at the Blackrock diving board, a local tradition that costs nothing.
- Galway Race Week in late July doubles or triples hostel prices across the board. Shifting your dates by even a week in either direction makes a real difference.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest from November through March, but fill up fast and get expensive during the Arts Festival in mid-July and Race Week at the end of July into early August.
