While it may have nagged in the past, I think the sweet taste of freedom this year will see us out exploring Ireland again with a vengeance. Along with the return of old favourites, several new and improved museums and visitor experiences are opening around the island, providing fun and a few rainy day options (ahem). Waterford Time: Ireland’s oldest city adds the Irish Silver Museum (from June 24) and Irish Museum of Time (June 14) to its collection this month. A new ‘Freedom of Waterford’ ticket includes a guided walking tour and entrance to several Waterford Treasures museums in the Viking Triangle from €15pp. History, storytelling and cutting-edge tech culminate in a real-time horse race experience where you can buy, train and ride your own horse in a virtual race.
