Shop Street is the main thoroughfare in Galway City, County Galway, Ireland.[1]

It is a characterful pedestrianised street, containing central Galway's best preserved ancient building, Lynch's Castle. As the main shopping street in Galway City, it epitomises the bohemian culture through its old brick buildings, bright storefronts, numerous pubs and array of street performers.[2]
