Skopelos, Greece (Mamma Mia!)

After watching Mamma Mia! we dreamed of vacationing in Greece. Most of the film takes place in Skopelos, which is full of greenery, blue water, and cobbled streets, making this remote island a must-see.

InterContinental Carlton Hotel, Cannes, France (To Catch A Thief)

Stay at this luxurious hotel where Grace Kelly did in the Hitchcock classic To Catch a Thief. While there, check out the golden era of the French Rivera.

Cascate del Serio, Italy (Call Me By Your Name)

Head to the waterfalls where Elio and Oliver went hiking and spent their remaining days together. These waterfalls located in Bergamo, are the second tallest waterfalls in Europe. After, head to Crema, Lombardy, where they spend their mornings drinking espresso and their nights dancing.

Hellman Hall served as the home of the wealthy and vicious Baroness Von Hellman before Cruella inherited the estate and renamed it Hell Hall. Some CGI was thrown in for a dramatic effect, but this sprawling estate is a real place you can visit in Berkshire County.

The Hellman Hall scenes were filmed at Englefield House, the Elizabethan country house which has been around since the 16th century but went through many changes over the years. You can visit it in real life since its gardens are open to the public and the home is even available for venue hire for a wide range of different events.

Fans of Cruella aren’t the only ones who should consider visiting Englefield House. If you’re a movie buff in general, you should consider putting this country house on your bucket list since it served as a filming location for many movies and TV shows, including X-Men: First Class, Match Point, The King’s Speech, Black Mirror, and The Crown.

Filming Locations

The most obvious choice for a cinematic trip is a visit to filming locations of your favorite movies and TV shows. Unless there were a lot of green screens involved, these trips will transport you into your favorite fictional world and allow you to experience it first-hand.

Museum and Theme Parks

If you’re a passionate cinephile, it’s highly likely that museums dedicated to cinema and photography will leave you in awe. Theme parks dedicated to popular movies are also extremely popular with tourists. If there’s one that honors your favorite franchise, make sure to check it out.

International Theaters

Each visit to a movie theater is a unique experience, especially if you’re visiting one in a foreign country. International theaters that differ from the ones in your hometown is a super-fun experience, but you should also consider searching for historic retro spots.

Greem Café

This quirky café with a black and white 2D design that makes it seem like you stepped into a comic book wasn’t created for the purposes of this movie. It’s 100% real, and one of the city’s most Instagram-friendly attractions.

N Seoul Tower

Remember that scene when Lara Jean and her sisters are trying to find a lock that her mom and dad left there before they were born? Once again, this is a completely real place, and you can find it at the roof terrace of N Seoul Tower.

Gwangjang Market

A trip to Seoul is incomplete if you don’t try all the amazing traditional street foods that this country has in store. Lara Jean and her family couldn’t resist the taste of the local cuisine, and they visited the iconic Gwangjang Market to try some Korean delicacies.

The Shining

Stanley Kubrick’s chilling horror classic is set in the Timberline Lodge in the Oregon mountains. Approaching this domineering structure brings to mind the movie’s thrills and chills and leaves you feeling a certain affinity with the trapped characters.

Braveheart

This famous historical movie recounting the story of William Wallace is set almost entirely in Scotland. You can visit the rugged landscapes and haunting scenery of the film around Loch Leven and Glen Coe in the highlands.

The Lord of the Rings

One of the most successful trilogies in movie history, the Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand. Epic landscapes were used all over the country, many of which are almost inaccessible. But the top places to visit are Tongariro National Park (with its three volcanoes) providing the setting for Mordor, the Southern Alps which were the misty mountains, and Alexander Farm as the Shire.

Kootenai Falls

The formidable natural beauty started appearing on film as early as 1897 when a promotional film advertising train travel was filmed on location. In the 1980s, the rapids starred in Kevin Bacon’s and Meryl Streep’s The River Wild, and in the 21st Century, it was the scenery for 2015’s The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Glacier National Park

Perhaps the most popular site in Montana when it comes to being used as a movie set, we can list all the movies filmed in the park, but we can certainly list a few popular titles to get you started. Most notably is 1994 Forrest Gump: the park appears when Forrest runs across America, and again later in the film when he tells Jenny about his running experience. 

Older but not less famous is Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, which includes the park as the spectacular backdrop to the hotel.

Joker Stairs

One of the most memorable scenes in the new Joker movie took place on a flight of stairs in the Bronx and they quickly became a popular tourist attraction. Countless visitors flocked to these stairs since this movie came out, trying to copy Joker’s signature dance.

Corriganville Park

Corriganville Park served as a stand-in for notorious Spahn Ranch in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but it previously served as a set for many popular cowboy movies and shows over the years. It’s also perfect for fans of long and relaxing hikes.

Venice

Spider-Man: Far From Home was filmed at several locations around Europe since it saw Peter Parker and his friend embarking on a school trip on this continent. Prague and London come to mind, but Spidey and the gang actually made their first major stop in Venice.

It’s always amazing to mix two of your passions into one and share them with the rest of the world. That’s exactly what film and travel enthusiast Andrea David managed to do after she decided to start looking for the iconic filming locations around the world.

David embarked on this amazing journey after exploring the influence of cinema on tourist habits in her thesis. She liked it so much that she kept on traveling to different filming locations even after her theses was done, and she’s still doing it to this day.

After a while, she came to the conclusion it’s easier to ask locals for directions if she brings pictures along, and this was a real game-changer. She started taking photos that placed the iconic movie scenes in real life and managed to attract over half a million followers with her Instagram page filmtourismus.

Hard-core movie buffs now see her as a valuable source of inspiration, because they wouldn’t know where to look if it wasn’t for her. Her incredible photos blur the line between fantasy and fiction and prove that all the places we’ve seen on the silver screen aren’t out of reach.
