Cool Filming Locations to Visit Around the World

If you’re a big fan of film, you probably get excited to hear that a movie you loved was shot in a place you’ve been to. If that’s the case, you might enjoy traveling specifically to places where you know a great movie was filmed. Here are three you can consider.

Cabazon Dinosaurs, “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” (Cabazon, California)

The dinosaurs in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure are actually one of America’s most iconic roadside attractions located in Cabazon, California in Riverside County. Most exciting of all, the dinosaurs are dressed up and repainted into different outfits and colors throughout the year, so they’re always ready for their close-up.

El-Khazneh, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (Petra, Jordan)

One of the most elaborate ancient temples in Petra, El-Khazneh is so ornate and striking that it’s no surprise that the creators of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade wanted to film a movie there. It’d be a great place to visit even if it hadn’t been a movie location, but the fact that it IS only makes it that much cooler.

Cafe des 2 Moulins, “Amelie” (Paris, France)

If you’ve seen Amelie, you know how iconic her cafe workplace is. If you’ve ever wanted to check it out for yourself, you totally can, as it’s a working cafe in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. It’s very picturesque.
