Is Grafton Street worth it as a couple?

DependsAs a couple

As a couple, it depends on the day.

A lively, free strolling experience where talented buskers (a young Hozier and Glen Hansard played here) provide a genuine soundtrack to the city. The honest catch: it's essentially a high-street retail run of chains, so beyond the atmosphere and music there's little to actually 'do.'
