Shopping By Neighbourhood
»
Grafton Street & Around
Grafton St has traditionally been
the
shopping street, but the
preponderance of British-owned chain stores means you'll find the same kind of stuff you
can get almost anywhere. To really get the most of the area's retail allure, get off Grafton
St and head into the grid of streets surrounding it, especially to the west, where you'll find
some of Dublin's most interesting outlets.

Temple Bar
Dublin's most touristy neighbourhood has a pretty diverse mix of shops,
from tourist-only tat retailers to the weird and (sometimes) wonderful; it's a place where
you can get everything from a Celtic-design wall-hanging to a handcrafted bong. A couple
of Dublin's best markets take place in this area on Saturday.
