Harry Potter
Alnwick Castle
Alnwick, Northumberland, UK
Harry and his classmates learned to fly broomsticks on the Outer Bailey, which is also where Harry learned to play the wizarding sport Quidditch. Walk around the castle’s courtyards and baileys, and try to spot where Harry and his friends walked to class, where Ron crashed his
dad’s flying car, and their route
to Hagrid’s hut and the
Forbidden Forest.
Other filming locations include London, outside Bath, Oxford, near Brighton and even the Scottish Highlands, where Hogwarts Express runs along the actual Jacobite Steam Train line.

Inventing Anna
La Mamounia
Marrekech, Morocco
One episode, in which Anna takes her friends to Morocco, was filmed at La Mamounia in Marrakech.
The resort, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, has been acclaimed by publications like Condé Nast Traveler for its beauty and exemplary service.
The Atlas Film Studios is located about a three-hour drive from Marrakech. It is located in the town of Ouarzazate, which is nicknamed Quallywood. No fewer than two hundred films and series have been shot here. Movies such as Gladiator, Star Wars, Aladdin, and parts of Game of Thrones were filmed at the studio.

White Lotus
San Domenico Palace Hotel
Taormina, Sicily, Italy

where clients of Travel Leaders travel advisors are eligible for

Game of Thrones
Dark Hedges
County Antrim, Northern Ireland
In the middle of the Northern Irish countryside, the road is not marked as Dark Hedges, but with its real name. It is called Bregagh Road and is located between Armoy and Stranocum.
Other GOT filming locations include Croatia, Iceland, Spain, the Maltese Islands and Morocco.

Emily in Paris
Eiffel Tower
Paris, France
You can walk in Emily’s footsteps at the city’s most famous sites. Filming locations include the Basilica of Sacré Coeur, a hilltop church in Montmartre, and the Wall of Love, with more than 300 translations of 'I love you' in different languages.
From tucked-away cafés and glamorous restaurants to
well-known landmarks, it’s a great ode to a fabulous city – sort of one long tourist campaign for Paris (and, after the first season, other sites in France too).

Sex and the City
New York Public Library
New York City, NY
The New York Public Library’s Fifth Avenue building made two small but significant appearances in the life of Sex and the City.
First, there was the season 6 episode that coined the phrase “he’s just not that into you.”
Then, in the first SATC movie, Carrie decided that the NYPL was the perfect place for her and
Mr. Big to wed. In Carrie’s
words, it’s “the classic New York landmark that housed all the
great love stories.”
Unfortunately, that didn’t
work out too well.

The Hobbit
Hobbiton
Matamata, New Zealand
The first iconic location where The Hobbit was filmed is at the Hobbiton Movie Set, of course!
This is the ultimate outdoors movie set. It feels like Hobbiton is real with intricate details from Bilbo’s Hobbit Hole down to the Hobbits’ washing lines with
tiny clothes – so cute!

Ted Lasso
The Prince's Head
Fuller's Pub & Restaurant, Richmond, Surrey, UK
Many of the scenes were filmed in Richmond, about a half hour from London, where you can visit the Prince’s Head pub (the Crown & Anchor in the series) and stroll
along Paved Court, a cobblestone street with gift shops,
boutiques and cafes.
