About Waterford
Waterford is Ireland's oldest city — founded by Viking settlers in 914 CE as Veðrafjörðr, making it the oldest continuously inhabited urban settlement in Ireland, with a history spanning over 1,100 years. The city's Viking and medieval heritage is preserved in the remarkable Viking Triangle heritage quarter, centred on Reginald's Tower (1003 CE, the oldest civic building in Ireland and the first to use mortar) and the Christ Church Cathedral precinct. Waterford is also famous as the home of Waterford Crystal — the world-renowned Irish crystal manufacturer whose factory in the city produced the most distinctive cut-crystal glass of the 20th century, and whose visitor centre is one of the most visited attractions in the southeast of Ireland.
Waterford's Viking Triangle heritage quarter — concentrated within a 10-minute walk of Reginald's Tower — is one of the most remarkable urban heritage concentrations in Ireland: the Medieval Museum (with the Great Charter Roll of Waterford, 1372, and the extraordinary 15th-century mayoral regalia), the Bishop's Palace Museum (with the finest collection of 18th and 19th-century Irish decorative arts outside Dublin), the Christ Church Cathedral (12th century, with the finest collection of medieval tombs in Ireland), and Reginald's Tower (housing Viking artefacts from the city's archaeological excavations) together create a museum experience of exceptional quality. Waterford also has the most authentically commercial and working city character of any historic city in the southeast — its quays along the Suir still handle cargo, and the city's restaurants and food culture are among the finest in provincial Ireland.
Important Transfer Information
Reginald's Tower and Viking Triangle: Reginald's Tower (1003 CE) — the oldest civic building in Ireland, built by the Viking settlement of Waterford and still standing on the quayside — is the anchor of the Viking Triangle heritage quarter, whose three interconnected museums (Reginald's Tower, the Medieval Museum and the Bishop's Palace) create the finest urban heritage experience in provincial Ireland. The Medieval Museum's Great Charter Roll (1372) and the mayoral regalia (including the 15th-century Great Sword of State) are exceptional individual artefacts.
Waterford Crystal: Waterford Crystal — Ireland's most internationally recognised luxury craft brand, produced in Waterford since 1783 — is still manufactured in the city (the factory relocated in 2009) and its visitor centre in the Mall offers factory tours showing the hand-cutting and blowing of crystal, a museum of historic pieces and the world's largest collection of Waterford Crystal. The Waterford Crystal Ball that descends in Times Square on New Year's Eve has been produced here since 2000.
