City in Ireland

Waterford

3 things to see

Ireland’s oldest city wears its Viking origins openly in the Triangle Quarter, where Reginald’s Tower and three connected museums trace a thousand years of history for a single ticket price. The compact medieval quarter, the quays along the river Suir, and the old town walls are free to walk before you pay for anything. The crystal tradition lives on in the House of Waterford Crystal, and the city’s smaller scale keeps accommodation noticeably cheaper than Cork or Dublin, both within easy reach by bus or train.
