Go to Town with Luas – at the Centre of Christmas Shopping

Take the hassle out of Christmas shopping this year with the Luas. Taking you directly to the main shopping districts, Henry Street and Grafton Street, you’ll avoid all the festive traffic giving you more time to shop!

Shoppers can take the Luas Green Line to Grafton Street and Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre located beside St. Stephen’s Luas Stop. Jervis and Abbey Street Luas Stops on the Red Line take you to the shopping haven of Henry Street where you’ll find Jervis Shopping Centre, the Ilac Shopping Centre and lots more.

Here are some of the top Christmas Shopping tips from Luas: 

1. Compare the cost of parking in town with Luas Park + Ride. Depending how close to town it’s between €2 and €5 for 1 Day / 24hrs parking with Luas. You can pay for parking from your phone or via an App with parkbytext and even extend your stay that way too if your plans change.
2. Check out the value you can get with Leap Card. As well as a significant discount on every trip versus tickets from ticket machines it’s really hassle free with no queuing and no change is required. Just Touch On and Touch Off at the Validators on the platform.
3. Download our free Luas Apps for Apple or Android so you can always check the time of the next tram, the cost of a ticket, the location of a stop, the first and last tram times and all the latest Luas News.
