About Galway Coach Station

Galway Coach Station is located right next to Galway Train Station and is one of the major transportation hubs in County Galway. Like in the UK, in Ireland, long-distance buses are referred to as coaches, and Galway Coach Station is where long-distance buses come from all over the rest of Ireland to this city on the West Coast. This bus station also functions as a transportation hub for Galway's urban bus network, so it's easy to get anywhere else in the city and almost anywhere else in the country from here.

If you're looking for Galway Coach Station luggage storage, there are a couple of options available to you for places to store luggage. You'll find luggage lockers available in the bus station itself, and the storage lockers can make a good place to store your bags for a few hours or a full day. However, the storage lockers are limited in the size of bags they will accept. Additionally, at busy times, you may find the luggage lockers full.

A better alternative is to take advantage of Bounce luggage storage locations.

Local tips and insider info

• Be prepared for rain. No matter what time of year you choose to visit Western Island, you'll probably get plenty of liquid sunshine. For that reason, there's no point getting hung up on visiting during the summer. Instead, bring some waterproof clothing and an umbrella and consider visiting in the spring or fall when hotel prices are cheaper, but County Galway is just as beautiful as ever.
• Galway Coach Station can help you get to most of the top attractions in Ireland, including a bus route that lets you explore the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way. However, many of Ireland's most beautiful areas are served intermittently by public transport or not at all, so if you want to get out of the countryside, you might want to consider renting a car.
• Don't try to see too much. Ireland's relatively small size and good transportation connections can make it seem like you could easily see all the highlights of the country in a single trip. However, that wouldn't be doing justice to all the different facets of this country. Instead, plan to spend at least a few days enjoying Galway and a few more in the surrounding area, but save other parts of Ireland for a separate trip.

Conclusion

With Galway Railway Station and its direct connection to Dublin Heuston and Dublin City Centre well within walking distance, Galway Coach Station is the ideal gateway to the city and to the rest of Western Ireland. Leave your bags behind at a convenient luggage storage and get ready to see more of what County Galway has to offer. You'll be glad you chose to travel light as you explore this fascinating city and region for yourself.
