St. Green shopping centre is located on top of Grafon St. and contains a very large number of shops from hair dressers to sports shops, including an Argos. Book lovers will be happy to know that there are several book shops on Grafton Street and on the surrounding streets.

Surprisingly, there are no pubs on Grafton Street. Instead, the surrounding streets contain some of Dublin's most famous pubs.

St. Stephen's Green is a beautiful nine hectare Victorian park located at the top of Grafton Streen.

Although it is located in the heart of Dublin, you will feel as if you were in the middle of the forest as it is a wonderful park.

It is the perfect spot to have a sandwich and to enjoy the free lunch time concerts organized during summer time, and why to not to enjoy the Irish weather as people coming from continental Europe will find it refreshing.
