Forget Henry st with its thrift cheap shops and O'connell st with its sleazy fast food restaurants, Grafton St is where you should be. Its a lovely pedestrianised streed with many people just strolling along to lap up the relaxed atmosphere. String quartets are popular here and many street entertainers will keep you occupied if you pocket isnt deep enough for the many boutiques on the street. Also take note of the side-streets off Grafton St. particularly clarendon- a really narrow little path down to a classy shopping centre called Powerscourt Centre. Most tourists gravitate towards Nassau St with its many tourist shops selling typical irish merchandise, irish crystal etc. House of Ireland is one such shop which is sure to give many gift ideas for the tiresome traveller whod like to get all their gifts in one session!!!

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. :) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Between Nassau St. and St Stephens Green North.

Grafton Street is a great street to shop. There are no cars and there are always plenty of people around, from street performers to flower sellers to tourists and locals alike. You'll find some great shops like Marks & Spencer and Brown Thomas to name only two.
You can find it all here. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Your best bet for shopping North of the Liffey is along this long stretch starting at O'Connell Street and heading west on what starts as Henry Street and then turns into Mary Street and then Mary's Lane. You can also try Clery's off of O'Connell which is a large department store where I found some good gift items downstairs. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Grafton is the main drag for shopping in Dublin. Think Newbury street for all you Bostonites. Some street performers too. I didn't do any shopping while there, but the St. Stephen's Green mall seemed pretty cool too. I found it more fun to wander around and try to find cool little stores where I didn't buy anything anyway due to lack of euros.
Shop for Aran sweaters (sheeps wool), Guinness memorobilia, and cool music/clothes (Dubliners were very well dressed).
Comparable to US or UK prices depending on what you buy. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Grafton St., St. Stephen's Green

Grafton Street contains upmarket stores such as the posh Brown Thomas department store. It's closed off to traffic so it's usually heaving with people. I was there in April and there were flower stalls and market stalls selling various items including jewellry at prices that were a bit more reasonable. Bewley's Cafe is on Grafton Street and is famed for it's breakfast, albeit at an inflated price. Marks and Spencer's is there as well. At one end is St. Stephen's shopping center, across from St. Stephen's Green and at the other end is Temple Bar and Trinity College. There are lots of good shops and restaurants along Grafton Street and the smaller cross streets. There are buskers there on the weekend as well.
Some prices may be a bit high but there are some interesting shops to have a browse in. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

You've heard all about Grafton street - and it's worth a look. But I found it to be a little too touristy and too expensive.
On the north side of the Liffey is Henry street. The stores here to be more reasonably priced than Grafton and there's more of a local flavor. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

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. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Grafton Street Dublin
