    Grafton Street, located between Trinity College and St Stephen's Green, is a pedestrianised street lined with fashionable stores and shoppers to match.

    It is a little bit more up market than some of the other shopping areas in the the city.

    All the usual types of shops are here - Clothing, shoes, jewellery, department stores etc, plus plenty of cafes for that mid-shop break.

    Grafton Str. is where all of the " trendy" stores are located. The prices believe it or not were comprable and not that marked up.

    At the end of Grafton Str across from St. Stephens Green there is a shoppng mall of the same name. It has lots of chain stores and a food court.

    There are also lots of restaurants and coffee shops.

    Clothes, gifts for people back home, or a rolex for yourself.. anything

    1-30,000 Euro

    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.

    The creme de la creme of upmarket shopping streets in Dublin is Grafton Street. Hang out here any day and you are mixing with the rich and famous of Irish and international society.

    The flagship of this street is Brown Thomas department store, where you can buy just about anything you desire. It's Ireland's answer to London's Harrods.

    Pop up the street for the more youthful BT2 (Brown Thomas 2).

    The street is an entertainment in itself, as talented buskers line the street, playing and singing for donations. Many are students of the renowned local music schools.

    Grafton street is wonderful in that you can shop, drink up the atmosphere, then (I would recommend) indulge in afternoon tea at the glitzy Westbury Hotel, or enjoy a pint of plain (Guinness) at any of the nearby pubs.

    Saturday on Dublin's Grafton Street is a legend in itself. The street literally hummms.

    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.

    As it was Valentines Day, the flower sellers were doing a roaring trade. It seemed that EVERYBODY in Dublin was buying flowers that day... carrying armloads home to loved ones. The lovely ladies selling flowers were quite happy to give directions to daft tourists too.

    All kinds of flowers!

    Hmmm...as I wasn't buying any, I'm not sure what they cost... but Dubliners seemed happy enough.

    This is a nice pedestian street, with lots of shops (clothing, music, gifts, flowers, etc.), department stores, Internet cafe, ATMs, etc.

    Street performers are often seen on this street.

    Have a nice cup of afternoon tea at the Bewley's. :)
