Perched amid verdant green hills, Waterford brims with exciting attractions and a lively spirit. In this quaint town in Ireland, you’ll always find exciting things to do. Ramble through the fragrant lanes at Mount Congreve House and Gardens, or admire the wonderful architecture in town at the Bishop’s Palace and Christ Church Cathedral. From the popular staycation spots, explore the gorgeous natural scenery as you cycle along the Waterford Greenway and admire the stunning panoramas along Comeragh Drive. There are also plenty of opportunities to delve into the fascinating history of the area! Amble through the exhibits of the Waterford Treasures Medieval Museum or walk through the Viking Triangle and learn about the city’s early history. No trip to the city would be complete without a tour of the Waterford Crystal factory where you can watch craftsmen sculpt the renowned pieces. From intriguing museums to amazing architecture and gorgeous gardens, Waterford is filled with brilliant attractions. To get your vacation plans rolling, check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Waterford, Ireland.
