In case you didn’t know, Dublin is home to some fantastic markets. 

Sometimes we don’t appreciate how great it is to live in a country with so many talented creators, designers and business owners. One of the best ways to support local entrepreneurs is to shop in one of the local weekend markets.

Plus, it’s a great way to spend the day somewhere with a vibrant atmosphere.
