Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Waterford

"This fortified Augustinian monastery is the best sort of ruin, where you can amble around whenever you like, with no tour guides, set hours or fees. Most days you stand a chance of exploring the site alone (apart from some nosy sheep); at dusk with a clear sky the old priory is simply beautiful. The ruins are 500m east of Kells on the Stoneyford road; from the car park, head to the right of the walls to find the main entrance."

"For an authentic old world atmosphere, J&K Walsh Victorian Pub and Grocers is a must-see on O’Connell Street. Check out the old wooden cabinets, brass scales and spice drawers, unchanged since 1899 when the place opened. This is one of Ireland’s finest intact examples, packed with original Victorian features."

"Join Jack Burtchaell for an original walking tour of Waterford interwoven with history and lore. Leaving the Granville Hotel daily between the middle of March & October at 12pm and 2pm"

"Sheehan’s Steak and Seafood is a cosy and welcoming restaurant with an informal Bistro Menu from 12.30 to 4pm and a full-blown a la carte menu for dinner. Steaks are a house speciality with pork and fish dishes offering a supporting role. Drop in for a spot of lunch – warming soup of the day with Guinness Bread or a perfectly done Eggplosion Burger and fries perhaps?"

"A steakhouse located in Waterford city, known best for their tender and mouthwatering flavours as well as providing some of the best Sizzling Chicken in Ireland. Sheehan’s is a must for any for any food lover visiting Waterford. The staff and service has been well praised by it’s customers as well with plenty of positive reviews."

"The Parlour promises Tea Rooms with a twist, and that’s just what this Art Deco-inspired café has to offer. Located in the historic Port of Waterford building right by the water, there are several experiences. Coffee addicts will find their niche in the Chamber of Coffee which takes artisan coffee-making to a whole new level."

"Based on The Tramore Rd in Waterford offers something different to its customers. It offers The Living Café, Furniture & Home Accessories Store and even a cookery school!. The flagship store is based on Sarsfield St Limerick; it has two additional stores in Limerick following its success- based in Corbally and Castletroy."

"Another café that I love to swing by when I'm in Waterford is the Hook & Ladder. It's cute and cosy with a decor most of us would probably die for in our own kitchens. I would definitely recommend one of their cappuccinos or lattes with one of their scones."
