Things to see and do Waterford

Jack Burtchaell: an exciting professional guide to discover and appreciate the monuments of the city.

It's the main Waterford Museum and the one that's not to be missed. A rich place loaded with history. If we find interesting parts of the Viking period, the most remarkable collection of objects remains medieval times, at a time when the city, having grown markedly commercially, became the second largest trading port in Ireland, after Dublin. There are many domestic objects showing this activity, and their diverse geographical origin indicates the multiple connections of this port with other countries.

Founded by Franciscan monks in 1240, this church took the nickname "French Church" when it served as a place of worship for Huguenot refugees between 1693 and 1815.

This website brings together information from the three museums of the Viking Triangle of Waterford, located a few steps from each other in the heart of the city. These are Reginald's Tower, a massive tower from the 12th and 15th centuries that houses a museum dedicated to the history of Waterford since its origins, the medieval museum, which focuses on the Middle Ages and the elegant Bishop Palace, the former Episcopal Palace that became a museum dedicated to the period from the 18th to the 20th century.
