Came here for the atmosphere rather than the shopping. The best time to come is during the day, when the shops are open, although it always seems to be busy. Buskers - some of them quite good - add to the festive atmosphere. Pedestrians only, so you don't have to worry about cars (but you do have to watch out for the occasional cyclist). Right near Trinity College.

The main shopping area of Dublin. Lovely street with great shops!! It leads onto St Stephens Green which is lovely. Brown Thomas is lovely, definitely worth looking in!

A wide selection of shops to suit all tastes from high street and designer outlets to small boutiques and souvenir shops. Expensive but worth visiting to see the street performers. Plenty of places to eat and drink too

What music, amazing buskers on every corner. The air b and B was a good choice it was a little hard to find but then it was right near the centre i.e. where the life of the party was. Love the live music.

Grafton Street, Dublin is a popular shopping area in the city center. It runs from St. Stevens Green on the south to the Trinity College Campus. The street is lined with boutique & name-brand shopping, the gamut of dining options, Irish Pubs, and live street entertainment. Grafton Street is a crowded, busy tourist attraction, and it's great if you enjoy that atmosphere!
