What town is Carricklea in Normal People?
Carricklea is fictional. The town scenes were filmed in Tubbercurry, County Sligo — including Teeling Street, T.

Marianne's library scenes, however, were filmed at Marsh's Library beside St Patrick's Cathedral. Trinity's campus is free to walk through; the Book of Kells exhibition is ticketed.
Where was the Sweden episode of Normal People filmed?
The exteriors of Marianne's semester abroad (Episode 9) were filmed in Luleå, Swedish Lapland, in February 2020 — including the city centre, Stadsparken and the frozen Baltic Sea. The 'Swedish' interiors were actually shot in Dublin: Lukas's photography studio is the NCAD painting department on Thomas Street, and the Swedish café is The Fumbally with artificial snow outside.
