Question Westport or Galway: Which is Better for a Stay?

We're finalizing our itinerary and could use some advice. Initially, we planned to go from Galway to Westport, but now we're considering whether to spend more time in one over the other. We're looking for a mix of scenic beauty, cultural experiences, and maybe some nightlife. For those who've been to both, which would you recommend for a more memorable stay? Any particular attractions or activities that stood out in either place?

Both Westport and Galway have their unique charms, but if you're looking for a mix of scenic beauty, cultural experiences, and a bit of nightlife, Galway might edge out slightly. The city is vibrant, with its colorful streets, traditional music sessions in cozy pubs, and the proximity to the stunning Connemara region. Westport, on the other hand, offers a more laid-back atmosphere with its beautiful Clew Bay and the nearby Croagh Patrick for those who love hiking. It really depends on what you're after - the lively cultural scene of Galway or the serene beauty of Westport. Have you considered splitting your time to get the best of both worlds?
