Day out in Galway

Vrinda · 2015-06-01 12:37:09

Hi, any recommendations for somewhere nice for a day outdoors such as beaches or parks that are not far from city center? Dont mind if it isn't a famous tourist spot and prefer somewhere easily reachable on public transport or by walk from center. Thanks!

Salthill is the only city beach. It is a famous tourist spot, though. About a 20-30 minute walk from the city centre, or catch the 401 bus.

Barna Woods is about a 20 minute walk from the nearest public transport - details here: http://www.galwaytransport.info/2011/08/barna-neighbourhood-map.html

Silverstrand is a beach just outside the city - across the road and down a bit from Barna Woods - same map applies.
