Dublin is a wonderful city to visit, no matter what time or
year. Spring is the ideal season to visit Dublin because its
off-season and the rates are reasonable and because it's
when many of the holidays and festivals occur. Of course,
the most important holiday in Dublin is St. Patrick's Day.
If you'd like to visit during the holiday, be sure to make
reservations!
Shopping is particularly enjoyable in Dublin. The main areas
to shop are Temple Bar, Nassau Street, Henry Street,
O'Connell Street, St. Stephen's Green, and Grafton Street.
If you're looking for a new wardrobe, go to Brown Thomas
department store on Grafton Street. You will be sure to find
beautifully designed clothing of Irish design.
Other large Dublin department stores are available for your
shopping experience. The largest is in St. Stephen's mall.
You can spend a whole day shopping there, and then enjoy
dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants. The crowds are
large during the summer, so make your dinner reservations
early.
If you go to Dawson Street, you will find the small,
high-end stores, which offer designer clothing. Even though
you'll spend more money, it will be well worth it, since the
clothes are very exclusive. You can also purchase jewelry,
craft items, and antiques.
Colorful indoor and outdoor markets contribute to Dublin's
fame. The largest and most popular of these is Mother
Redcap's located in Back Lane. The market is huge and will
entice you with books, music, antiques, and clothing. Also
on offer are tasty fare such as cheeses and cakes, among
other delights.
Catch Books, on Duke Street, features a wide selection of
antiquarian books. Dublin also houses a number of terrific
bookstores to entice both general readers, and those seeking
rare first editions. Make sure you schedule shopping time if
you plan a holiday in Dublin.
