HENRY STREET<br />
This street has several large shopping<br />
stores which include the Liffey Valley<br />
Shopping Centre, Epicurean Food Hall<br />
that offers a wide range of foreign<br />
cuisines and Arnotts, the city’s oldest<br />
and largest departmental store. The<br />
street also has plenty of stalls that sell<br />
hats, handbags, fruits and vegetables.<br />
GRAFTON STREET<br />
The top of the street is marked by the<br />
St Stephen's Green shopping centre<br />
while the end was marked by a statue<br />
of Molly Malone which often has a<br />
friendly leprechaun lingering around<br />
nearby. However, Malone was moved<br />
to the top of Suffolk Street in 2014. Fret<br />
not, you would most probably still see<br />
the leprechaun. The street itself is the<br />
epicentre of Dublin shopping and you<br />
will find all the classic high street retailers<br />
to regular street fare alongside many<br />
buskers and street performers. It's a nice<br />
experience to hear a variety of musical<br />
and artistic influences mix on the streets<br />
as you peruse the shops and you'll be<br />
sure to find some tourist fare here.<br />

GEORGE’S<br />
STREET ARCADE<br />
Travel<br />
George’s Street Arcade offers an eclectic<br />
mix of boutique and vintage clothes<br />
shops at affordable prices, food markets<br />
and quirky collectible stalls along with<br />
little cafes. Built in 1881 as a Victorian<br />
Shopping Centre, it has undergone<br />
reconstruction and changes of hands<br />
but has always maintained its own<br />
unique atmosphere. But, the most<br />
important thing of all, you can still enjoy<br />
‘independent’ boutique shops and stalls<br />
ranging from trendy clothing, jewellery,<br />
funky music, collectible items, souvenirs<br />
and more along with wonderful dining<br />
and food options.<br />
Dublin, capital of the Republic of Ireland, is home to slightly over 500,000 citizens. The modern<br />
and contemporary capital steeps in history with a 13th century castle and 12th century cathedral.<br />
The city also houses the Guinness Storehouse, a top visitor attraction apart from the iconic<br />
Dublin Zoo and the National Gallery of Ireland. But, above it all, the city is also the spot to<br />
be if you’re in mood for some good ol’ shopping! Here are some of our recommendations.<br />
