Get around Galway

Central Galway is easily accessible on foot, and Salthill (a popular tourist area) is a lovely 20-30 minute walk from the centre of town. The Promenade (Prom), stretching from The Claddagh to Blackrock is a very popular walk with locals and visitors alike. Bus Éireann and CityDirect run local bus networks. GalwayTransport.info is a public-transport-information source for Galway City and surrounding areas. It has a summary map of city bus routes, a detailed map of each individual route, and links to timetable information. It also has maps of the taxi ranks in the city, industrial estates in the area, and detailed directions for reaching a number of popular places using public transport. Taxis are convenient, although they can be a bit expensive. There are taxi ranks in Eyre Square and Bridge Street. Avoid taking a car when going to or anywhere near the town centre as parking can be expensive, and the city can has very heavy traffic levels at times. A very popular car park close to the centre is that at the Dyke Road, just off the Headford road. Just a 5 minute walk to Eyre Square.
