Rossaveal isn’t far and there’s a bus from Kinlay house on Merchants Road an hour before the sailing. If there isn’t a service from Galway it looks like there will be soon: www.arandirect.com/aranprincess.php

Galway is not a huge city really. If you stay somewhere central you won't be far from the dock area, from where I assume the new service will go.

Travel Tips for Galway
Stroll the streets. Slowly and...
by dankata
Stroll the streets. Slowly and easy. They are not that long, and you're not going anywhere. If you think you have to stop somewhere you're probably right. Kill yourself with unhealthy but sane Irish breakfast, have a pint instead of orange juice and talk with the people - it's not a sign of profanity but of friendliness. Go to a live music pub and sing loud, sing proud. Ireland is the land of the free. The captain of the ferry going to Aran Island. He was looking like Johnny Rotten's older brother and we thought he'll sink the vessel in the deep. For some reason he didn't do it and so the island came to be another fond memory.
Spanish Arch
by Jacksparrow
Historic area of Galway is a must for any visitor to Galway especially the nearby Spanish Parade house where the quirky mix of eccentric residents welcome all visitors with a traditional Irish welcome - the cead mile failte!
Big pub - big fun
by sourbugger about The Skeffington Hotel or "The Skeff"
This is a big place with six different bar areas. The Whole place was re-fitted a couple of years back and is now a multi-leveled fun palace.
You get the very crowded areas and quiter corners too. The Guiness is fine and they do coffee's and food as well.
What makes the place is the mix of people - all ages and styles, locals and tourists. none
McDonaghs Fish And Chips
by Cruefan about Fish'n'Chips, Fast Food
I was told that while in Galway I had to visit McDonaghs and I'm glad I did. The menu is filled with fried seafood and chips. The food wasn't as good as Leo Burdicks in Dublin but was a close second to the places I went to.
The line to order was long and it was very competetive trying to get a seat inside. If your visiting Galway give them a try. The fish and chips of course. The fish was tasty and the chips were nice and cooked perfect.
Eyre Square
by DrexelDragon
While I was there, Eyre Square was undergoing a serious facelift. It looks like it is going to really fit in well for the city once it's finished. The artist rendition of the final look is posted on the northside. There are also some monuments in this are to have a look at. There is also a dedication to JFK.
