Best Bookshops in Dublin

Dublin's bookshops are treasure troves of literary magic, blending historic charm with vibrant independent spirit amid the city's cobbled streets and buzzing neighbourhoods. From radical reads at Connolly Books in Temple Bar to rare first editions at Ulysses on Duke Street, and the vast second-hand haven of Chapters, these spots offer insider picks for every book lover. Dive into Irish authors, forgotten gems, and cosy nooks perfect for rainy afternoons.
