Galway Train Station luggage storage

About Galway Train Station

There are lots of reasons to visit the beautiful Irish city of Galway. And if you're traveling to the city, there are few better ways to get there than via Galway Train Station. Located right in the heart of this historic city, the station has been key to the city's public transportation infrastructure since it was first opened in 1851.

Galway Station is the terminus of the Galway to Dublin train line. It's also the terminus of the Limerick to Galway commuter train and a major hub for any train routes in the west of Ireland. In this relatively small country, it's easy to hop from one city to another on the train, and the central location of the station means you can begin exploring Galway almost from the minute you arrive.

However, exploring is much easier once you've found a place to store luggage for a few hours or more. There are no luggage lockers or other luggage storage facilities at the station itself, but don't worry. Bounce has you covered.

Local tips and insider info

• Galway makes the perfect place to explore Western Ireland. Along with the city's many attractions, it's easy to take a train or bus to some of the most iconic locations in the country. However, the more rural the areas you want to explore, the less reliable public transportation gets, so it might be a good idea to rent a car if you want to see the wilder side of the Emerald Isle.
• Ireland, especially the West Coast, is a very rainy place, but that has its upside. Rain is more or less unavoidable the matter what time of year you visit, so don't get hung up on visiting during the summer when prices are at their highest and crowds at their densest. Instead, invest in a good umbrella and rain jacket and consider visiting in spring or fall, when you'll have many of the top attractions to yourself. Plus, the acres of green from all the rain will make excellent photo ops.

Conclusion

Together with Galway Bus Station, Galway Train Station makes the perfect gateway to this intriguing city. Easy to reach from Dublin Heuston, Dublin Airport, and other transportation hubs throughout the country, there's really no excuse not to add Galway to your list of places to visit in Ireland.
