Top Attractions in Galway
💡 The rooftop terrace has excellent views of the Claddagh and the bay. Allow 45 minutes. No café on site — head to the nearby market on weekends instead.

💡 Entry is free but they accept donations (€2 suggested). The crypt has a small exhibition on construction history. Quiet atmosphere — great for escaping the weekday market crowds. Photography allowed.
💡 Best in spring when the cherry blossom trees are out. Free public toilets on the east side near the bus station. On summer weekends there's often live music at the bandstand. Avoid after dark — rowdy groups gather.
