Ireland is a fantastic shopping destination. As do many other nations in Europe, Ireland offers its residents and visitors the opportunity to choose Glenfiddich
from a wide variety of shops and shopping selections, these choices ranging from commercial shopping malls to ritzy boutiques to international department stores. The arts and crafts industry is also alive and well in Ireland, and Ireland is particularly famous for some of its oldest manufactured goods such as crystal --Waterford crystal is famous the world over for its superior quality-- and woven goods like Aran sweaters, Irish tweeds and Irish linen. You also have the opportunity to find a wide range of pottery, jewelry, glass work, souvenirs and other goodies across Ireland.

If you are looking for something a bit upscale, you can find some of the top fashions Ireland has to offer in Ireland's elegant Brown Thomas department store, which you will find centrally located in Cork, Galway, Limerick and, of course, Dublin. In fact you will find that many modern clothing shops are located in Ireland today, including, but not limited to, Marks and Spencer, Benetton and Laura Ashley. You will also find such personal conveniences as Boots and the Body Shop, and grocery shoppers will find that many modern supermarket chains are also widely available in Ireland.

If, however, you are looking for a unique, authentically Irish shopping experience, you will be pleased to discover that there are also a wide selection of smaller, intimate, family-owned shops that carry traditional Irish foods and favorites like cheese, salmon and of course, Irish whiskey! Belfast in particular boasts a unique and colorful array of Irish shops and cosy, intimate cafés, to say nothing of wonderfully extended shopping hours! Just perfect if you need a little extra time to find that special item; and shopping in Ireland, there are plenty of items to choose from!
