Between Trinity College and St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin is a winding street called Grafton Street. Once a mere pathway, it really became a street with the construction of houses and shops. The street and houses alike are narrow making everything feel comfortably close.
This street is the hub of Dublin’s social life. Back in the 19th century, Grafton Street was known for prostitution, likely because its narrow nature made things feel a little “secretive.” These days, locals and visitors alike flock to Grafton Street for some serious shopping. Little boutiques are joined by big brands, quaint street-side restaurants, and cafes. You could spend hours just people watching with a pint of Guinness or a cup of coffee in your hand. Many musicians got their start busking on Grafton Street, entertaining the mass of pedestrians just walking by.
Parade like King George V did in 1911 and go for a walk down the street. You’ll be singing songs about Grafton Street long after you leave.
