Galway’s main shopping alternatives are in a small district beginning at Quay Street leading towards Eyre Square. The core is appropriately called Shop Street (now that is easy to remember). Many are boutique stores offering local crafts, art and souvenirs. Brown Thomas at Eglinton Square is the premier department store displaying designer and luxury brands. A few specialty retailers market jewelry, crystal, antiques and books. There are also malls such as Eyre Square Centre, CorbettCourt and a bit further away the Galway Shopping Centre.
