About Waterford

Waterford is a city along the River Suir in southeast Ireland that isn't far from Dublin. Although it sees its fair share of eager visitors, it's not as known as places like Dublin and Galway.

As Ireland's oldest city, it's unsurprising that it is historically significant, as evidenced by its many cultural and historical attractions and landmarks. Not to mention, Waterford is also home to the incredibly famous Waterford Crystal – yes, the pristine crystalware you're thinking of – which you won't see being made anywhere else in the world.
