Georges Street Arcade

This Victorian Arcade, which claims to be the oldest shopping arcade in Europe, houses independent designers and artists, ranging from antiques and book dealers and jewelry and jam makers to tattoo artists and ear piercers. The covered arcade is a classic example of Victorian brick and iron work and provides perfect cover for strolling on a wet day. It is just a short alleyway away from Powerscourt Townhouse Center, so the two make a good pairing for browsing, especially in bad weather.
