Buy an individual admission ticket to the Medieval Museum, or opt for a combination ticket which includes access to both the Medieval Museum and its sister institution, Bishop’s Palace. The exhibits at Bishop’s Palace take up where the Medieval Museum leaves off, focusing on the history of Waterford from the 1700s on.
The Medieval Museum is situated within the Viking Triangle, the historic core of Waterford. Walking from Waterford Plunkett railway station takes about 20 minutes.
The Medieval Museum is open daily year-round. Weekends usually draw the biggest crowds, so go midweek to beat the rush
The Medieval Museum sits within Waterford’s Viking Triangle, a historic area of the city once enclosed by Viking walls. Among its biggest attractions are its three museums—Reginald’s Tower, the Medieval Museum, and Bishop’s Palace—which together are known as the Waterford Treasures. Other vestiges of the past, including the scant ruins of the 13th-century Franciscan Friary at Greyfriars and the 18th-century Christ Church Cathedral, hint at the former importance of this port city.
