Dublin Weekend Markets

From clothes to music; from fresh fruit and vegetables to hand-craft, Dublin markets are a great way to spend a Saturday. Weave in and out of the stalls and relax afterward with a well-earned pint of Guinness in a famous Dublin pub.

The most popular markets are:

• Temple Bar Food Market – Exquisite farm produced products and artisan foods in the cultural heart of Dublin

• George Street Arcade – Open all week, this market comes to life at the weekend; books, classic clothing and retro-candy are just some of the highlights.

• CoCo Market – Every Saturday in Marley Park, this is a must for lovers of organic food.
