Waterford Travel Guide

 3 Reviews  On our bus tour of Ireland we stopped in Waterford at the end of one day. After we checked in to the hotel, we met with Jack our tour guide for an evening walking tour. He gave us the history of the town and it was like a soap opera with all the twists and turns of the plot. He also told us about... 

 2 Reviews  Tramore Town is built beside the sea about 7 miles from Waterford City. It's well worth a visit, Winter or Summer, but I prefer it in the Winter when it's not so crowded and the beaches are welcoming for walkers and other beach pursuits. Sunday mornings are one of my favourite times to walk here... 

 4 Reviews  Waterford is the oldest City in Ireland - indeed, it is the oldest city in the British Isles! Parts of the original walls and towers of the old city remain standing to this day, and pride of place i taken by Reginald's Tower, which now houses a museum. 

 1 Review  ROCK OF CASHEL Probably one of the most known places in Irland and maybe in the world. Rock of Cashel, a Castle and church ruin with cemeteries on the top of a hill. Museum and nice walks all around the Rock with excellent 360 ° view of irish landscape. 

 1 Review  Emilianos is the brainchild of a local Irish/Italian girl, Lavina, and her husband Emiliano. They met several years ago when they were both working on one of the luxury cruise lines, fell in love, and came back to Waterford giving us this delightful eatery. The food is genuinely Italian. Waterford... 

 2 Reviews  Bodega has been serving up wonderful food in Waterford for many years, but for some reason I never managed to eat there until October 2006. I was highly impressed and have returned many times since, bringing friends. You know from looking at the shopfront of the establishment that it's going to be... 

 1 Review  The restaurant at Waterford Castle is very exclusive indeed, in that it is a place you simply cannot just walk into. It is the main restaurant of this Island Castle hotel and the island itself is accessibly only by private ferry. As you board the ferry a man with a clipboard checks your name against... 

 3 Reviews  I have a small claim to fame here, but only by association. One of my sisters was the first Airline Station Manager at this airport. She met her husband at a party in the aeroclub there, too, so it holds a special fondness for me. I guess I have my own connection to the place as I was the Lawyer on... 

 2 Reviews  After the tour (which was included in our bus tour so we didn't pay extra for it), we went to the in-house Waterford shop. Afterwards, they told us that they would free engraving if we bought something - which my grandson did. I also paid to have the item shipped home to his family. I felt that I... 

 1 Review  Check out Reginald's Tower. The tower dates from the late twelfth century and is the most historic urban monument in Ireland. The heritage museum houses two collections; artefacts from the Viking and Medieval periods; and collections of decorated charters and civic regalia.
