Wexford Essentials

Wexford’s town center reflects its Viking and Norman origins through narrow streets and medieval architecture. Key landmarks include the 13th-century Westgate Tower and the Bullring, which houses the 1798 Memorial. The town is a cultural hub, anchored by the National Opera House and the historic Cornmarket building, home to the Wexford Arts Centre. Spanning the River Slaney, the Wexford Bridge serves as a primary link to the town's eastern approach.
