1
One of Dublin's liveliest and most distinctive streets, Capel Street has become a familiar sight on screen for good reason. Here, we explore locations linked to a hugely popular modern Irish series and look beyond the cameras to the character of a neighbourhood that has changed dramatically while retaining a personality all of its own.

Few streets in Dublin create a stronger sense of stepping into another era than Henrietta Street. Its remarkable Georgian buildings have provided an atmospheric backdrop for screen productions, while the streets and buildings nearby reveal another side of the city's cinematic story. As we explore the area, appearances can prove deceptive - and some of the most dramatic tales lie well beyond what first meets the eye.

3Trinity College Dublin
After a tram journey with a screen story of its own, including one of the most bizarre and iconic action sequences ever set in Dublin, we arrive outside Trinity College. We discuss the films associated with one of Ireland's most famous institutions and the locations that connect this corner of the city to memorable moments on screen.

4Merrion Square
Merrion Square is one of Dublin's most recognisable Georgian settings, but its elegant streets have also played host to some very different scenes on screen. From period films and dramatic gun battles to beloved music videos, this corner of the city has repeatedly been transformed for the camera.

5Grafton Street
If time allows, we include Grafton Street, where Dublin's famous busking tradition remains very much part of the atmosphere. With performers often at work along the street, it is easy to see why this setting has appeared in so many films, including a much loved romance built around the lives and music of two struggling performers.
