Waterford is the home of firsts.

In 914, it became the first ever city in Ireland,

when Viking settlers saw it as the perfect place to settle and grow,

and they were right.

Waterford was named by the Irish Times as the best place to live in Ireland,

by the New York Times as one of the 52 places to go

and by Condé Nass Traveller as the best place to visit in Ireland and the UK in 2024.

For museums and mountains, gardens and the sea, think Waterford first.
