Lush store concept is truly unique. The hand-made natural soaps are shaped like foods such as cakes, fudge, cheese slices, very cute. Entering Lush store is just like entering your local delicatessen, except that it smells strong perfume. I have never tried its products, but I think they are worth trying.
I found the store for the first time while walking around Nottingham, UK. So when I encountered Lush in Dublin, I took the chance to examine the store to see its latest development. It is always a pleasure for me to observe unique business concepts worldwide.

If you're shopping on Grafton, take a coffee break in Bewley's. It's a huge store with all kinds of sweets (don't worry, you'll walk it all off with more shopping :) and things to take home for friends.

A pedestrianised street, on the south side of the Liffey, full of shops - the usual high street chains, department stores as well as cafes, smaller shops, boutiques and pubs. There are also some market stalls on some of the side streets. Its always bustling with people and there is some entertainment in the way of street performers.

On Grafton Street and other nearby streets, Dublin has a great pedestrian shopping zone. This area is great for a stroll because motor vehicle traffic is restricted. In this area, you will find many stores, restaurants, and pubs.

This area is located in Merrion Square. It's a wonderful place to go for an afternoon stroll and to see Irish Painters selling their master pieces. The paintings hand on the railings outside Merrion Square Park on Saturday and Sunday only. Bring lots of money if your thinking of buying something, as most of the paintings are expensive. However if you do have a few Euros to spare you can pick up some delightful paintings of Dublin.

Grafton Street is considered to be Dublin's "primier" shopping street. I found it to have a few interesting retail stores like a few jewelry, clothing and shoe stores, but nothing that I would considered to be "premier".
We walked along Grafton weaving in and out of a few stores, but we didn't really find anything that caught our attention.

I usually start the day with some fruits, and if I can buy them in a market rather than at a supermarket I'm msot happy. My favourite place - just because it's so central - it's the fruits and veggies market in Moore street.
What to buy: Plenty of stalls selling fruits and veggies, obviously, and occasionally a few fishmongers, too. Fruits are delicious and cheap, there... and the quality isn't bad, either. if you go in the morning, there's obviously more choice.

Grafton Street in Dublin is the main pedestrian shopping area of town. All the big stores are located along here and you'll find just about anything you're looking for. You will also find annoying performers who think its a good idea to set up shop in the center of the street and obstruct the passers-by and then have some kind of demand that they must pay you if they take your picture. Try having that one held up in court. Ok. So you can guess I HATE these kinds of people.

marks and spencers in Grafton St south of the river and I believe it is Parnell st north of the river are about the only places apart rom your hotel room where it is free to use the toilet! In a few of the shopping centres they charge you to use the toilet.

Grafton Street is famous the world over; the commercial value of the property here to rent is now the highest in the world. This makes Grafton Street one of the most popular (and profitable) shopping streets on the planet. There is a famous song in Ireland that has a line: 'Grafton Street's a wonderland, with magic in the air, there are diamonds in the ladies eyes and golddust in her hair - if you don't believe me, come and meet me there ..' Well that summarises it for us too. We've been to a lot of countries and we've seen a lot of streets, but Grafton Street is still the best: not even Marienstrasse in Munich can compete with Grafton Street (and please don't embarass us with comparisons to the Champs Ellyses)
At any time of the year we recommend this street; if just for the atmosphere, the spirit that's in the air, the street entertainers, the banter with the street vendors ..
As regards particular shops: Brown Thomas is the most upmarket and exclusive store on the street. There are many other options along the street though, with traditional shops as well as old reliables. Eduarda recommends Grafton Street for all your shopping needs. (But actually, the Dubliners themselves prefer Henry Street, hint, hint!)
