Shop ‘Til You Drop & Enjoy Busker Entertainment on Grafton and O’Connell Street

As one of the hottest shopping cities in Europe, if you’re a shopping enthusiast you don’t want to miss checking out the offerings on O’Connell and Grafton Street. The trendiest shopping area in the city offers everything from quirky boutiques and bargain shops to high-end retailers.

You’ll also find stores selling Irish-produced items, including beautiful Irish sweaters from the Avoca Mill, as well as ceramics, soaps and perfumes all made from the Avoca design studio.

This area isn’t just for shopping either. Take time to enjoy the talented buskers on the sidewalks, from harpists to pianists and everything in between. You never know what you’ll see or hear on the streets of Dublin — this is one of the top spots on the planets for buskers, and occasionally even U2’s Bono makes an appearance.

The Leprechaun Museum

If you’d like to explore one of Dublin’s hidden gems, the Leprechaun Museum is a fun spot to visit. While it’s a little corny, making a bit of fun out of Irish legend like the Irish tend to do, it’s a great way to learn more about the country, its myths and its culture.

You may not see a real-life leprechaun, but you might just discover a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, and you can find out what it’s like to be pint-sized too.
