Grafton Street

When people think of shopping in Dublin, Grafton Street is the first place that comes to mind. Throughout the year, this street, which is just a five-minute walk from The Trinity City Hotel, is a bustling area full of music, character and colour. You will find a host of global designer brands here as well as shops of all shapes and sizes.

Grafton Street is also home to the world-famous Brown Thomas department store which has four floors of the latest women’s fashion, menswear, accessories and make-up as well as two very popular restaurants, Hugh Brown’s and Edition Café.

Creative Quarter

From Grafton Street, a stroll down one of the many side streets behind Brown Thomas will bring you into the Creative Quarter. Here you will find slightly more offbeat and quirky shops including vintage jewellers and bespoke design stores. It is also home to a host of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as the George’s Street Arcade, a redbrick Victorian-style indoor market with an eclectic mix of market stalls.

Comprising Wicklow Street, South William Street, Drury Street, George’s Street, Dame Street and Fade Street, this is where you will discover the true essence of the city. Relaxed, fun and always surprising, the Creative Quarter is a must-see if you like things a bit different but very authentic.
