Grafton Street
Sráid Grafton
Dublin's liveliest pedestrian shopping street, with buskers and the century-old Bewley's café, linking Trinity College with Faiche Stiabhna.
Sráid Grafton runs from Trinity College in the north to Faiche Stiabhna in the south. It is Dublin's main shopping street, home to the Brown Thomas department store, international brands and independent boutiques. The street's buskers are highly skilled, and many musicians got their start here. Bewley's Café, which opened in 1927, features stained-glass windows by Harry Clarke and is worth stopping for a cup of tea. A statue of Molly Malone stands at the corner. The street is best explored on foot, and the lanes nearby are full of pubs and restaurants.
