  • How to Get to Galway
    Getting to Galway Galway is situated on the West Coast of the Republic of Ireland and may be reached by air, ferry, train, bus or car. The following air links may be of assistance www.aerlingus.ie, www.ryanair.com, and www.aerarann.ie.For international delegates we recommended the following arrangements, in order of decreasing preference: 1. Fly direct into Galway Airport. International flights directly into Galway Airport are available on www.galwayairport.com, with flights mainly from other parts of Ireland, the UK and France. 2. Fly into Dublin Airport (www.dublinairport.com) and either fly from there to Galway Airport or take a coach from Dublin Airport to Galway city. Connecting flights from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport are available through Aer Arann (www.aerarann.ie). Galway Airport is approximately 5km from Galway city centre, and both the University and hotels (names to be advised at a later date) are close to the city centre. There are taxi services from Galway Airport to Galway city: there is no bus shuttle. Car hire is also available. Dublin Airport has many international connections but is about 220km from Galway (3 hr drive). Good car hire facilities are available from Dublin Airport. Rather than flying from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport you could take a coach (or train– see below). Independent operators run dependable hourly coach services from Dublin Airport to Galway city (www.citylink.ie or www.gobus.ie), departing outside the Arrivals terminal. These coach trips take about 3 hrs. 3. Fly into Shannon Airport (www.shannonairport.com) and take a coach to Galway city.
