Whether you’re a local, a regular visitor, or seeing the city for the first time, we’ve mapped out the perfect day in Dublin — and it all leads to our home in St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, where The Donegal Shop has been proudly serving customers for decades.
🍀 Morning: A Stroll Through St Stephen’s Green
Start your day with a peaceful walk through St Stephen’s Green — one of Dublin’s most loved parks and just steps from our shop. Listen to the rustle of leaves, breathe in the crisp morning air, and enjoy the hum of the city waking up.
Grab a coffee and a buttery croissant from a local café and soak in the calm — street musicians, friendly chatter, and that rare kind of city-centre stillness you don’t expect.
🧶 Midday: Discover Traditional Irish Craft
From the park, take a short stroll into St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, where you’ll find us — The Donegal Shop, your go-to destination for authentic Irish knitwear, tweed, and handmade gifts.
Whether it’s a hand-loomed Aran sweater or a thoughtful Irish-made present, we’ll help you find something truly special. Our team is always on hand to share the stories behind each piece.
🍽️ Afternoon: Food, Music & Markets
Once you’ve had your fill of Irish wool and warm welcomes, take a walk up Grafton Street. Pop into independent bookstores, enjoy some buskers, and head for lunch at one of the nearby pubs or cafés — we love Bewley’s, or grab a bowl of chowder at The Hairy Lemon.
If it’s the weekend, don’t miss a wander through George’s Street Arcade — full of vintage treasures and local artisan stalls.
✨ Evening: Dublin Lights Up
As evening falls, Dublin transforms. Catch live music at a nearby venue or enjoy a quiet pint in a traditional pub. If you’re heading home, you’ll be walking away with not just shopping bags — but memories of a truly Irish day.
