About Dublin
Dublin - Make the City Yours!
With over 4,000 shops and 10 department stores and shopping centres, Dublin City Centre has the largest concentration of shops, choice and value for money than anywhere else in the country.
A visit to our Capital City is an experience like no other. Over 660,000 people walk the city's high streets every day, creating a buzz and atmosphere that cannot be replicated. People spend hours in 'town' leisurely sipping cappuccinos on the new Liffey Boardwalk with friends, watching the world go by in St. Stephen's Green, viewing the art on Merrion Square or taking a stroll down Grafton Street to soak up the unique ambience created by buskers, street performers, string quartets and the laughter and chatter of the passing crowd.
From Armani to Zara there are thousands of brands to choose from - and each year several new international fashion houses choose Dublin as their latest retail venture. The food and fashion markets in Cow's Lane and Meeting House Square have added a new dimension to shopping in the city, and for a different kind of 'retail' experience take a trip to the old town for antiques, fine art and restaurants on Francis Street.
The city centre also boasts the largest range of international fare and flair in Ireland. From Asian supermarkets to Moroccan restaurants, from the finest French fusion to tasty Italian dishes, the city's dining options are reflective of the cosmopolitan, modern and multi-ethnic society that our Capital City has become. A visit to the Capital at night time reveals a different look with attractive lighting of the Liffey bridges, the Spire and public buildings.
Now restored to its former glory, Dublin City Centre has many hidden
treasures that we take for granted. Take the time to walk its streets
and soak up its unique atmosphere, history, culture and of course
shopping.
With the new Luas light rail, the DART, Dublin Bus, taxis, etc. it has never been easier to get into the city. Dublin - Make the City Yours!
