Spend today in the charming town of Waterford, with the oldest city in Ireland, first visited by the Vikings in 852AD.
The walled city has retained much of its medieval character together with the graceful buildings from its 18th-century expansion. The parameters of the 10th-century settlement can be clearly identified in The Viking Triangle. Reginald's Tower is the most historic urban medieval monument in Ireland.
The elegant Chamber of Commerce building, the City Hall and the Bishop's Palace are prime examples of beautiful 18th century architecture.
This morning we head to the charming inland city of Kilkenny, Ireland’s medieval capital, on our included excursion.
Above the broad sweep of the River Nore sits the castle, while a pretty humpbacked stone bridge leads up into narrow, cheerful streets laced with carefully maintained buildings.
You have free time to explore the town at leisure, perhaps you would like to visit Kilkenny Castle or join our optional walking tour, a popular and enjoyable way to get to know the Medieval Capital of Ireland.
