Shopping in Dublin

An essential feature for any European capital, little or large, is a good shopping district - a few streets of well-stocked stores with gorgeous window displays hinting at even more treats within. Well, Dublin is quite well endowed in that respect; not only do you have the lively pedestrian shopping streets at the heart of the city, replete with buskers and street performers, but there are a number of huge shopping centres in the outskirts offering the same excellent choice all under one roof, or go further afield to the surrounding towns where you’ll find boutiques and craft shops stocking items you know you won’t find anywhere else.

Practicalities:
Shopping hours in Dublin are, in general, between 09.00 and 18.00 Monday – Saturday. City centre shops are open late on Thursdays until 20.00, while late opening in the suburbs is usually on Fridays. More and more of the larger chain stores are open on Sundays usually from 12.00 – 18.00 especially in the run up to Christmas.
