Waterford, Medieval city in County Waterford, Ireland

Located at the meeting point of three rivers, Waterford extends along both banks with streets displaying centuries-old architecture and maritime structures.

Vikings established this settlement in 914, making it the first city in Ireland and developing it into a significant trading port during medieval times.

The Medieval Museum houses artifacts from the 13th to 15th centuries, including the Great Charter Roll and ceremonial cloth-of-gold vestments from European royalty.

The Waterford Greenway provides a 46-kilometer trail connecting the city to Dungarvan, suitable for cycling and walking through tunnels and across viaducts.

The House of Waterford Crystal factory demonstrates the creation process of crystal pieces through guided tours showing glass blowing and hand-cutting techniques.
