Dalkey

Another pretty seaside village, and the home of many international stars. There is a couple of excellent galleries and designer boutiques selling pure linen clothes and original silk knitwear.
Dunne & Crescenzi

Selling more than 100 Italian wines, fine olive oil and artisan products.
Enniskerry

Yet another pretty Wicklow village with a smattering of designer shops: up-market gifts for the home in Enniskerry Trading Company, and great wine and cheese in Murtagh’s Fine Foods and Wines.
Far Pavillion

The shop for a special gift. Pretty china, napkins and smelly things, as well as books, covered matchboxes and expensive salad bowls.
Fishers of Newtown Mount Kennedy

An unlikely place to find tucked away here, selling up-market women’s fashions and traditional men’s country clothes.
Francis Street

Dublin is one of Europe’s best cities for antiques, and Francis Street and the surrounding area are an antique-hunter’s dream, lined with deliciously dusty shops. Beware: the attitude may be relaxed, but the goods don’t come cheap.
George’s Street Arcade

This lovely redbrick market has established shops on either side, with stalls down the centre. Exotic fruits rub shoulders with New Age baubles, fortune-tellers and vintage clothing.
Grafton Street

Probably the most famous pedestrian thoroughfare in Dublin, Grafton Street traditionally caters to up-market shoppers, with homegrown department stores such as Brown Thomas. Buskers offer a lively atmosphere. Bewley’s, Dublin’s famous tea house, has its most popular branch here.

Grafton Street
Henry Street

Grafton Street’s poor relation, Henry Street is lively and buzzing along its pedestrian route, while Moore Street’s outdoor food market adds colour to the proceedings. Shops and department stores here tend to be better value than those south of the river. Arnotts department store is one of the most attractive in the city.
Hodges Figgis

Ireland’s answer to Waterstone’s, a branch of which is opposite. Floors full of books covering all subjects and very good bargain offers available. Excellent children’s section too.
