Serviced Apartments in Waterford

Found in the south east of Ireland, Waterford is the oldest city in the country, having been founded by Vikings in 914 AD. With over 1000 years of history, the city is culturally significant and has played an enormous role in the development of the country as a whole. Despite being a city of modest size (about 45,000 population), there is still plenty of serviced accommodation in Waterford is to choose from as the city is popular with Irish tourists and those from overseas alike.

Probably Waterford's most famous landmark is Reginald's Tower. It is the oldest urban civic building in the country and still retains its original Viking name. It is also considered the first building in Ireland which was built using mortar. This is just one of 17 towers which once protected the city, six of which are still standing. Daily tours still operate for a small charge, and this is one of the better day trips to take from your Waterford holiday apartment.

Being a coastal city, Waterford has a long maritime history. The main focal point of this is the River Suir which runs through the city. A shipbuilding hub, Waterford has been one of the most important ports in Ireland for over 1000 years. Take a trip to the port and docks from any Waterford holiday rental, and soak up the history of the area.

Perhaps the city's most well-known industry of modern day is Waterford Crystal. This was one of the premier crystal and glassmaking cities in all of Europe for over 200 years until recently coming to an end in 2009. Despite this, Waterford is still an iconic city for high-quality glassware and there are plenty of retail outlets to visit as well as the House of Waterford Crystal. A Waterford serviced apartment is the ideal base for your stay, and any knickknacks and souvenirs you purchase can be stored away safely before your departure.
