Experience the artistry and tradition of Irish craftsmanship with a visit to the House of Waterford, where fine crystal is brought to life before your eyes. Step inside the blowing room and feel the heat and energy as master craftsmen shape molten crystal in a 1400°C furnace. Witness centuries of skill and precision as glowing crystal transforms into elegant pieces of timeless beauty. After the tour, enjoy a light lunch at a local café or explore the stunning collection in the 12,000-square-foot retail store.
Continue to Kilkenny, the medieval capital of Ireland, known for its rich history, vibrant streets, and charming atmosphere. Explore the 13th-century Kilkenny Castle, which towers above the River Nore and reflects over 800 years of architectural evolution. Wander through historic laneways, admire medieval townhouses, and visit Ireland’s oldest brewery, Smithwick’s. Don’t miss Kyteler’s Inn, the city’s most famous pub, where tales of Ireland’s only witch burning in 1324 still linger. This journey perfectly blends heritage, artistry, and the enduring spirit of Ireland.
