A visit to Waterford could literally take you anywhere – from surfing your very first wave, to learning Irish in the Ring Gaeltacht. For those with adventure on their minds, the Comeragh Mountains offer a fantastic location for cycling, climbing and hiking. If you’re more of a water sports enthusiast, hit the coast. You’ll find great fun in seaside spots like Dunmore East, Tramore, Ardmore, Passage East and Stradbally. Further inland, the Nire Valley heritage towns of Cappoquin and Lismore are also very appealing.

Whether you’re in search of family fun or a unique cultural experience, Waterford is the place to be. The Spraoi Street festival in August is always a huge hit and the annual Imagine Arts Festival in October, a unique celebration of the arts in the city. Meanwhile foodies will love the Harvest Festival in September.
