Planning a trip to Galway and dreaming of wild, rugged landscapes and epic mountain views? Just a stone’s throw from the city lies one of Ireland’s most breathtaking destinations - Connemara National Park. Whether you're craving an adventurous day out or a peaceful escape into nature, this guide will show you exactly how to get there, what to expect, and why basing yourself in Galway (and with us at The Residence Hotel!) is the perfect plan.
Staying in Galway gives you the best of both worlds - vibrant city life and easy access to the wild west of Ireland. And when you stay at The Residence Hotel, you're right in the buzzing heart of the Latin Quarter. Step outside to cobbled streets, live music, cozy pubs, and boutique charm. Then, set off for Connemara in the morning, with your base right where all the fun begins and ends.
