Is Grafton Street worth it in a day?

SkipIn a day

Short on time? Grafton Street can wait.

Allow 30 min–1 hour.

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.'
