Dining in Galway
So many people book hotels and activities and forget to book the most important part of your trip, the dining! Galway has one of the best food scenes in Ireland with everything from street food to fine dining and plenty in between. Appropriate group dining spaces for special occasions can be harder to come by and we recommend booking well in advance if you have your eye on a special spot. At Imperial Hotel Galway, we specialise in group and celebration dining with plenty of space and menu options to suit everyone.

Sightseeing in Galway
Get to know Galway a little better from our Eyre Square Hotel on your trip. While shopping and enjoying time in the pub are always good fun, Galway has so much more to offer. Bring your family or friends for a walk around the city enjoying the riverside, the West End, and the Latin Quarter. There are beautiful buildings to admire like the Galway Cathedral and places with interesting interiors like the Galway City Museum. You could venture outside of the city to historic spots like Salthill, Connemara, or Athenry as part of a day trip from the city or spend your time enjoying the cobbled streets and colourful shops and pub fronts within the city limits.
Family Fun in Galway
For special birthdays, family holidays, or christenings, Galway has plenty to entertain little ones. The weather isn’t something you can bet on in Ireland, so it’s best to have a selection of indoor and outdoor activities planned – just in case! The National Aquarium is the perfect indoor thing to do with the kids when the weather isn’t cooperating. With species of fish and sea life from all over the world, they’re sure to learn something new. In Moycullen, 15 minutes from our Eyre Square Hotel, Wildlands has an impressive selection of adrenaline-filled activities to challenge kids of all ages. As well as the main attraction zipline, they have indoor climbing walls, kids 4×4 off-road adventure, fairy walks, kids indoor mini town, paddleboarding, kayaking, and much more. Ask our team for recommendations depending on the weather and the mood of your little people and we’ll be happy to help!
Celebrate in Galway
Whether you’re celebrating a big birthday, a girls or guys trip, or an anniversary, celebrating is easy in Galway. There are dozens of pubs, bars, and nightclubs where you can dance the night away celebrating your milestone and a pub crawl is always a good idea. For something a little different why not try a celebratory boat trip? Departing from Woodquay in the heart of Galway city, the Corrib Princess brings you on a guided sightseeing tour along the River Corrib giving you spectacular views over Lough Corrib. For even more fun, you can book a dedicated booze cruise with a full bar available on board! It’s popular with hens & stags and other adult groups but not suitable for children.
