To visit the Cliffs of Moher, Cong, Doolin and Ennis ,which town would you recommend that we stay in for a couple of days? Galway? We have a car. thanks for your advice. We have a car.

If you're going out to Connemara (Cong, etc.) Galway would be a good central base--but also easily a stop on your way to Connemara. I think I would opt for Ennis or Doolin.

But, having lived in Galway, it has some fun restaurants and great pubs. The Cathedral is fairly new and to my mind not very interesting--lots of local marble.

Try to do the drive around the north part of the Burren, which I find more interesting than the Cliffs of Moher, but very much a personal choice as most everyone loves the cliffs, which are worth seeing, hopefully for you on a sunny day.

If you stop in Ballyvaughan, there's a wonderful pub just as you enter or leave BV from the Burren road--I think Monk's Pub. Best chowders ever.

My previous post is worded poorly--the local marble used in the cathedral is the interesting part (only thing interesting, IMO).

thanks for your help....it seems like i can't go wrong wherever i stay. i'll leave it up to my siblings then!

Well, Cong would not be very central and unless it's grown enormously, there's not very many bars and restaurants.
