Waterford

Waterford, a city boasting over 1,100 years of history, is the oldest in Ireland. Situated within the province of Munster, it sits at the head of Waterford Harbour. Viking influences are evident in its medieval walls and Reginald’s Tower, dating back to the 13th or 14th century. Waterford earned the motto “Urbs Intacta Manet” (“The Untaken City”) after fending off a siege in the 15th century. Explore the city’s rich past at the Waterford Museum of Treasures or visit Curraghmore House and Gardens, a historic estate known for its beauty. Shopaholics can discover Waterford Crystal, a brand synonymous with intricate craftsmanship, or browse for unique gifts and jewelry at Hibernian Gifts. Unwind at a distillery and wine bar like Henry Downes & Co Ltd, savor delicious food at Jack Meade’s Pub, or enjoy a pint of Guinness at the friendly Tom Mahers Pub.
