    What's included

    Included

    • Expert local guide and engaging storytelling throughout the tour
    • Interactive moments, photo opportunities and spot prizes
    • Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.)
    • Unique insight into Ireland’s creative arts industry from a guide who has worked in the field

    What you'll see and do

    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.

      15 minutes here

    2. 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.

      20 minutes here

    3. Trinity 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.

      30 minutes here

    4. Merrion 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.

      20 minutes here

    5. Grafton 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.

      20 minutes here

    6. Lower Camden Street brings the tour towards one of Dublin's best known musical quarters. Depending on the route and the group's interests, we finish here with stories connected to a celebrated Irish music film and one of the city's most famous live music venues.

      15 minutes here

    7. If time permits and the group is interested, the tour may continue towards Synge Street and Portobello, an area closely associated with one of modern Irish cinema's most beloved music stories. Here, we finish with a look at the locations and influences that helped bring a particularly memorable vision of Dublin to the screen.

    Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.

    How much does Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.

    Is Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dublin?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dublin?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dublin?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Dublin Unframed TV and Film Locations Tour?

    +

    Included: Expert local guide and engaging storytelling throughout the tour; Interactive moments, photo opportunities and spot prizes; Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); and Unique insight into Ireland’s creative arts industry from a guide who has worked in the fi. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
