What travellers are saying
- sb0903Dublin, Ireland14 contributionsWe bought the €15 ticket for all Triangle activities. What fantastic value. The museum was a fascinating and well presented tour through medieval Waterford. History, artefacts, Mayors and more. The building itself is fabulous from the spooky stone basement to the gracious staircase to the beautiful upstairs rooms. Star of the show are the gold vestments with the most incredible backstory. Make sure and watch the video....Written 10 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jim HLimerick, Ireland67 contributionsCycled from dungarvan to Waterford today ( and back) with my son . What an amazing day … this greenway is world class … unique and well worth the effort.
We stayed in the Campervan near Clonea beach ( awesome)
Can’t speak highly enough about this amenity .
We met walkers, runners, cyclists, rollerbladers, young and old … something for everyone !
Plenty of water stops, coffee and foot stops
So many things to mention - old tunnels , viaducts, farms, spectacular bridges, novelty trains,
We spent 6 hours there , 4.5 cycling … would love to have stayed longer

- JHMTTLWoodbine, MD1,583 contributionsReginald's Tower is located within the Viking Triangle. Unfortunately, the day we visited, some of the exhibits were being renovated. Regardless, I enjoyed visiting the castle and the staff were helpful answering all of my questions.Written 26 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eddie2 contributionsVisited today with my family, we went into the cafe and gift shop we all had the breakfast stack it was absolutely gorgeous. It was made with quality produce. There is a great selection of food for all. Definitely well worth a visit. Considering how busy the cafe is, it’s surprising the gift shop takes up more floor space then the cafe shop. The price of gift shop was a little dear. The house was open since we were there last be lovely to see more rooms open.Written 26 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sb0903Dublin, Ireland14 contributionsThe Waterford Treasures Pass for 15 euros get you entrance to 6 attractions. The four we went to (and we will be back) offered such a variety of really well presented information and objects in beautiful buildings. The area is lovely to stroll around with murals and other artworks and has a gorgeous cafe.

- midnighter94Woodhaven, MI829 contributionsNo one's talking about the Magic Road!!! So, there's a small section of the drive that's marked with a bolder that says "magic road." It's just a slight hill, but if you stop at the line that's marked, put your car in neutral, and take your foot off the brakes, your car will go up the hill backwards! Maybe for 30 or 40 feet, but fun!
We continued on the drive to a small parking lot, then walked for about 20 minutes to the falls. It's a nice, scenic walk with some sheep in the area (there's some signs for 'no dogs.'Written 3 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The inside however, is gorgeous and looks like what you'd expect.

Don't miss this gem whether you re interested in the mechanism of telling time, the craft of creating timepieces, the science or none of these.

- Michael HWaterford, Ireland8 contributionsFor anyone that is interested in whisky / whiskey the masterclass is a must do. We started off with a tour of the distillery with Lauren who was very articulate in explaining the process and the history of the distillery. We then had the masterclass with Megan and again this was a real hands on blending experience with 12 samples over 3 farms and 4 cask types. We got to taste and bring home some of our creations. Well done Waterford Distillery 👏👏Written 16 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- garreth d2 contributionsWaterford has such a collection of Street Art . You might forget the actual Art Gallery. But what a collection of Unreal pieces it has. 😍
With pieces I thought were photos then on closer inspection you realise they are paintings. With such attention to detail.
The Gallery has a modern feel. I will definitely be visiting Waterford Art Gallery for the new show in April. Thank you Waterford Art Gallery plus the staff were super friendly. 👌Written 25 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
