Where to Buy Souvenirs in Limerick, Ireland
So you’re ready to splash the cash in Limerick? The city itself is crammed with all the usual high street stores, but it’s in the local, quirky corners that you’ll find real gems. From age-old markets to tiny, tumble-down craft shops, you’ll have no shortage of options when it comes to getting something that’s a million miles from another mass-produced, factory souvenir for your shelves. Here’s where to leave behind the postcards, leprechaun outfits and Guinness-adorned tat and find some true take-home gems…

6. Anne Fitzgerald's Gallery
Another option that’ll require a little trek out into county Limerick, Anne Fitzgerald’s Gallery is one for the image lovers. Fitzgerald is a highly regarded local artist who has garnered a reputation both for religious imagery and for her Irish landscapes. A heavy traveler, when she’s at home, Fitzgerald works from her gallery in a small college in the village of Mungret, where you’ll find both her fantastically illustrated children’s books (many of which carry religious and moral messages) and her landscape paintings to explore.

7. The Milk Market
Farmers' Market, Market, Farm Shop, Irish, Vegan, Gluten-free, Vegetarian
Limerick’s iconic shopping spot, The Milk Market is perhaps not the ideal souvenir shopping spot, in that much of what you can buy here is very much fresh local produce. Try the selection of locally produced jams, conserves and an ever-growing selection of craft, books and even the odd antique. It’s a place that’s a pleasure to shop in and riddled with history.
