The most romantic places to visit in Galway 

Galway Salthill Prom

I lost my heart to a Galway girl!

Stretching all the way from the Claddagh Quay to the famous Blackrock diving tower, Salthill Promenade is a very popular spot for a romantic stroll. The hills of the Burren, in County Clare, are visible across the bay and benches are provided along the seafront. Don’t forget the local tradition of kicking the wall when you have completed your walk.

 

Take a road trip to Spiddal

Take a spin out to Spiddal on a sunny day. The village itself is picturesque, but when you add in two beaches and a scatter of pubs and cafes, it’s a perfect afternoon date spot. Grab an ice-cream and walk on the sand, or settle in for an evening of trad music for a date night like your folks used to have!

Share a Picnic in Coole Park

Wander through the fields bluebells in search of the Autograph Tree. Some of Ireland’s most famous artists made their mark here including WB Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and Sean O’Casey. Follow up with a homemade picnic on the grass for a picture-perfect date.

 

Spend a night at Druid Theatre

Galway is a city of the arts, go for a date with a difference at one of the many theatre/arts events that happen throughout the year. Start with the Town Hall Theatre, An Taibhdhearc and the Druid: they all offer varied programmes, worth a look if you want to impress.

 

Watch the sun set over Galway Bay

You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh And see the sun go down on Galway Bay. Galway Bay is a 5 minute walk from The Hardiman, we recommend a romantic walk by the Claddagh
