I was there in off season and was raining a fair bit, the town doesn't have to much there but there is alot around the area-Croagh Patrick etc. As with alot of Irish towns the pubs were excellent, particularly Matt Malones. Food in Ireland is pretty rubbish in general so food here no...more I was there in off season and was raining a fair bit, the town doesn't have to much there but there is alot around the area-Croagh Patrick etc. As with alot of Irish towns the pubs were excellent, particularly Matt Malones.

Westport ist not very big. YOu could travel through the city centre in 15 min. There are some nice shops and cafe's. Westport has an harbour and a nice park. The park is next to the hostel but you have to walk half an hour arround it since they plant a hotel on the pavement, From westport...more Westport ist not very big.

It's a beautiful small town with some good places to go to. Lots of tourist shops, and I really recommend eating at O'Malley's (the pub downstairs is allright too). It's not a cheap place to stay, but it's really lovely. And we rented bikes and rode for about an hour to Murrisk to climb Croagh...more It's a beautiful small town with some good places to go to.

And we rented bikes and rode for about an hour to Murrisk to climb Croagh Patrick. If you attempt that wear good shoes! And don't expect it to be easy. It's very very rocky and very very steep if you go to the top.close
