By bus or train: Iarnród Éireann operates six trains per day (four on Sunday) from Dublin Heuston Station.
Bus Éireann buses run frequently from destinations through the country.
CityLink buses provide direct service to Shannon Airport, Dublin and Dublin Airport.

By plane: Carnmore Airport (IATA: GWY) The airport is about 10km east of the town, but public transportation links are poor, with only one bus per day, departing the bus station at 12.50 and returning from the airport at 13.25. If you do take this route please let them know this is poor! There is another bus service that only goes outbound, it leaves the Central Station at 16:15.

Get around Galway

Central Galway is easily accessible on foot, but if you need to go further afield, both Bus Éireann and CityLink run local bus networks. Avoid taking the car when going to or anywhere near the town centre as parking can be expensive.

Taxis are a convenient way to get around town, although they can be a bit expensive. There are taxi ranks in Eyre Square and Bridge Street.
