Traveling in the Midwest of Ireland
Burren, Connemara, Cliff of Moher, Galway
The west coast of Ireland is without a doubt the most beautiful part of the country, and most tourists cannot miss it when wandering through Ireland. Our extended weekend trip included a bus ride to Galway, where we rented a car and continued on our own axis towards the Burren and Cliff of Moher in the south. Then move north to Connemary, around Lake Corrib and finally a tour of the capital of the Galway region.
