Getting Here
The train from Dublin Heuston takes approximately 2.5 hours and arrives at Ceannt Station — a one-minute walk from our front door. Bus Éireann and Citylink coaches also arrive at the adjacent bus station, with regular services from Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Shannon Airport. Eyre Square Hotel does not have on-site parking, but we’ve arranged a discounted rate at Q-Park Eyre Square (€18 per 24 hours), just a 2-minute walk away.
Festivals & Day Trips
Galway has a festival for every season — the Galway Arts Festival (July), Galway Races (late July/August), the International Oyster & Seafood Festival (September), and the Galway Christmas Market right on Eyre Square. The city is also the gateway to the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands, and Connemara, with guided tours departing daily from the adjacent bus station.
