From city life to its stunning coastline, the southeast Irish city of Waterford has plenty to offer its array of visitors from all over the world. By basing yourself at the Waterford Travelodge, you have access to all of the delights that both the city and its outskirts have, and there are plenty.

Copper Coast Geopark

Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre
This center is probably one of the most famous attractions of Waterford, and includes a brand new complex that is home to the largest collection of Waterford Crystal in the world as well as a retail store where you can purchase your own piece of crystal.
Comeragh Mountains
Home to a rather varied expanse of landscape, the Comeragh Mountains are perfect for the adventurous type. Whether walking and hiking is your forte or you have access to a mountain bike, the vistas and panoramas that are waiting are simply incredible.
The Viking Quarter
It’s no secret that Waterford is awash with history dating back to the Viking times. In fact, you can enjoy over 1,000 years of history – from Vikings to Victorians – within just a few paces. Take a walking tour of the area if you would like to take in as much as possible, stopping by sights such as Reginald’s Tower, Greyfriars, and Bishops Palace.
Visit Waterford this autumn and you’ll be able to flawlessly mix medieval and modern attractions to achieve an unforgettable, well-rounded break.
