# Two nights in Galway with the Cliffs of Moher and Inis Mór, two hours by train from Dublin Train from Dublin to Galway, one day for the Cliffs of Moher, another for Inis Mór by ferry and the evenings in the Latin Quarter. No driving on the left if you don't want to. Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/ireland/galway/itineraries/two-nights-moher-and-inis-mor · Revisado: 2026-11-12 Dónde: Galway and the Cliffs of Moher The Cliffs of Moher can be seen in a day from Dublin, but by coach you spend more hours on the road than on the edge of the Atlantic. With two nights in Galway, a little over two hours away by train, everything changes: you reach Moher first thing, before the groups, spend another day on the island of Inis Mór and the evenings belong to the Latin Quarter and its pubs. ## What does it cost?
