Vikings Valhalla: where was the Netflix series really shot?

While some fans are already wondering if Vikings: Valhalla will have a season 2 on Netflix, others are taking their time to discover little by little the spin-off of vikings unfolding a hundred years after the adventures of Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn, Ivar and the others – that you don’t necessarily have to have seen to get into the spin-off. Still supervised by Michael Hirst who is no longer the showrunner this time since the task fell to Jeb Stuart, Vikings: Valhalla still takes viewers to northern Europe, in the footsteps of the Viking conquests. If in the history of the Vikings it is above all in Denmark and Norway that things happened – in addition to their foray into English lands – in the series things are quite different.

It is indeed in Ireland that Vikings: Valhalla was shot, just like the main series from which it is drawn. Thereby County Wicklow and the capital, Dublin, are natural settings that come up very often in both series. Whether in the era of Ragnar or that of Harald and Leif, the beauty of the Irish landscape has allowed fans to truly believe they are in Viking lands. According to Télé Loisirs, it was the small village of Ashford, south of Dublin, which notably hosted much of the filming of Vikings: Valhalla. You should know that in the region are the Ashford studios, which shelter the reconstituted village of Kattegat, as well as the lake of Lough which, circled by the mountains of Wicklow, lends itself particularly well to an imitation of the Scandinavian fjords.

Vikings: Valhalla was filmed in Ireland

County Wicklow is also home to the Lakes of Blessington, where many scenes of the Vikings were filmed when they were in boats – from the first episode of the Netflix series therefore. At last Dublin, the capital of Ireland, has also seen many shootings take place within it. Thanks to the mouth of the river, the Leiffy, another magnificent and atypical setting was able to serve, not to mention the many historical places which offer multiple possibilities, as is the case with Dublin Castle, the library of Trinity College of Dublin or even Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. Something to take your eyes off of while staying on your sofa.
