While it sounds like it is a spot with games and all the fun things to play, George's Street Arcade…read moreis actually a covered shopping passthrough in Dublin linking two sides of the city center. However, don't get upset, it is still a fun place and honestly has the energy of what us American's think of when we see "arcade"! Small but mighty and packed full of shoppes, coffee shops and eateries from one entrance to the other. Vendor stalls line the middle of the space and while they are revolving, they usually feature art, souvenirs, clothing etc. The space itself is very historic and has been in use in this capacity for a very long time. The architecture of the building is gorgeous and screams old world Ireland. While wandering around Dublin, we made sure to walk through George's Arcade. We grabbed a small piece of art from one of the vendors and a chocolate treat from another. It was certainly time well spent! Overall, great little market worth a venture through if for nothing more than saying you did it!

Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer.

I almost walked into Powerscourt Townhouse Centre expecting a typical shopping center, but it…read moreturned out to be one of Dublin's most beautiful hidden architectural gems. Originally built as an 18th-century Georgian townhouse, the building has been thoughtfully transformed into a shopping and dining destination while preserving so much of its historic charm. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by elegant staircases, intricate plaster ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and a stunning glass-covered atrium that fills the space with natural light. I spent as much time admiring the architecture as I did browsing the boutique shops. The indoor greenery, unique independent retailers, and inviting cafés create a relaxed atmosphere that's a welcome break from the busy streets of Dublin. It's the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy a coffee, and appreciate the craftsmanship surrounding you. For photographers, this is an outstanding location. Every floor offers new angles of the atrium, staircases, and historic architectural details, making it easy to fill your camera with beautiful images. Whether you're interested in history, architecture, shopping, or simply discovering places that many visitors overlook, Powerscourt Townhouse Centre is absolutely worth a stop. It's a wonderful example of how Dublin has preserved its heritage while giving historic buildings a vibrant new purpose.

The newsagents is open on Sundays, has all the papers, cards and old-fashioned sweets at the till. It also has a hardware shop (perfect for that random DIY thing you need) and a chemist. One of the chemists also has lovely gift things. It has a zumo in case you're doing your shopping a little hungover and sometimes there's a health-food/nut stall at the door. There's also a hairdressers. Merrion Centre covers all the bases and all of the "just-in-case" things that might occur to you that you need while doing your weekly shop.

There is also a cute little flower shop I don't remember the name of but they always have a lovely display. The centre itself is clean and well maintained, but the all white and glass interior can make it seem a little jarring and bright when the sun is strong (not a massive problem in Ireland, I know, but it annoys me to have to wear sunglasses inside, even one or two days a year). The car park is great too, the rates are reasonable and last time I checked they are open until midnight.

I have never been in a Tiger store before but I was really surprised. They sell all kinds of little gadgets and styling office supplies and other random things. They pride themselves on low prices and nothing in the store being over 30 Euro. They had random iphone cases for only 3 Euro and lots of little unique random things. It reminds me of Ikea a little in that you walk in with no specific purchase in mind but walk out with tons of things. It is a nice store and setup well for browsing with a nice circular path leading you through the store and finally to the checkout lane. Staff are friendly and helpful too. I will be back.
