There are hopes Carlow and Kilkenny might benefit from the inclusion of Waterford on the New York Times’ 52 Places to Go in 2024. The south east city was the only Irish destination to make the international list. The coast forms part of the Waterford Greenway, a nearly 30-mile path along a disused rail line. Top off your Greenway adventure with afternoon tea amid one of Ireland’s largest collections of plants at Mount Congreve Gardens, which reopened in 2023 after a multimillion-dollar refurbishment. Waterford has experienced a significant international profile boost of late, with the Conde Nast Traveller ‘Best Places to Go in 2024’ inclusion released just last month too.
