Galway is my favourite county in Ireland. The city is young, vibrant, international, but small enough to fell like everyone is a friend. With music, festivals, and a buzzing nightlife, you will fall in love with this quaint city. And the rural parts of Galway are simply breathtaking. Mountains, lakes, beaches, and hidden gems all over, this was the highlight of my trip and my absolute favourite place to camp!
Galway and Mayo border each other, so depending on where exactly in Mayo you set off from, getting to Galway City can take between 1-2 hours driving.

Hands-down, the best campsite ever. The owners are super kind and friendly, and live in a house on site, so they are always reachable in am emergency. The campsite has its very own private beach, is protected by an electronic gate that can only be opened by a passcode (which you will receive if you book a spot), and is an all-around stunning location! Suitable for tents, caravans and camper vans, you can rent a mini BBQ and firepit, there are plenty of bathrooms, a kitchen area with microwave, and sink – I could go on! The best part for me is the views and the fact that you are not squashed in like sardines with other visitors – you have space and privacy from others. I cannot recommend this place enough, and it’s way cheaper than a hotel!
Galway was voted the European capital of culture 2020, and it lives up to its reputation! There is an annual International Galway Arts Festival every summer, with parades, costumes, music and fun! If you come to Ireland during the summer, this is a must!
The Galway Christmas market is the best in the country if you ask me (yes, even better than the capital, Dublin!). With a giant ferris wheel, a huge beer tent for partying and singing songs at the top of your lungs, and the quirky stalls selling food, hot drinks and beautiful handmade crafts, the city is an idyllic Christmas haven between November and January.
The St. Patrick’s Day parades here are also top-notch. Galway is simply a hub of culture and fun!

Wir sind seit November 2021 Low Budget mit unseren Backpacks unterwegs.
Neben den typischen Sehenswürdigkeiten versuchen wir immer wieder ab der Pfade sogenannte Hidden Gem’s zu entdecken.
Längere Aufenthalte in einem Land geben uns diese Möglichkeit wie auch mit den Einheimischen in Kontakt zu kommen bzw. Freundschaften zu schließen.
