Airports

Since its closure in 2011, Galway Airport no longer offers direct flights to the city. However, Galway is easily accessed from alternative airports. Dublin Airport is approximately a 2.5-hour drive away, Ireland West International Airport at Knock is a 1-hour drive, and Shannon International Airport is also just a 1-hour drive from Galway. To travel from any of these airports to Galway, the most straightforward and cost-effective option is by bus. Bus Eireann provides bus services connecting all three airports to Galway, ensuring a hassle-free journey for travellers.
