Just half an hour's drive away is the bustling shopping districts of Derry City.

And, to the south is Letterkenny, undoubtedly Donegal's biggest and most varied shopping hub. Home to a wide variety of shops—from "international" retailers like Top Shop and TK Maxx—to more local and specialized shops, restaurants and jewellers—any trip to Donegal just wouldn't be complete without a taste of Letterkenny's ample shopping opportunities.
Looking for that ideal souvenir to bring back home? The one that's every bit as unforgettable as the holiday itself? Inishowen is chock-full of exciting and unique gift and souvenir ideas and the secret craft shops to find them in.
