About Waterford
Waterford, founded by Vikings in 914, is among Ireland's oldest cities, a quayside town on the River Suir with medieval towers and a famous bread roll.
The Viking Triangle, a cluster of medieval streets by the quays, preserves the city's early core. Reginald's Tower, a round stone tower on the quay, stands on a Viking site and now holds a museum, and the Medieval Museum shows treasures found beneath the streets. The city has been known since the eighteenth century for hand-cut crystal.
