Lord of the Rings – New Zealand

The famous trilogy of films Lord of The Rings was epic when it hit theatres a number of years ago, but some of the film sets are still visible. It was filmed in New Zealand, so it may be more of a holiday that you save up for, but you can walk around Rivendell and also Hobbiton. You can get lost in the films sets and feel like you are truly part of the scene. New Zealand is also one epic destination to explore, with the North and the South Island, fabulous cities like Auckland and Wellington, there really is something for everyone.  Many people combine New Zealand with a cruise, as some of the places that you may want to visit can be experienced through a cruise itinerary.

Game of Thrones – Croatia

(No spoilers here!) Game of Thrones has just come to an end, and whether you loved it or wished for a different ending, you might have loved all of the eight seasons and are now needing a new GOT fix. This is when a visit to Croatia could be in store as much of the Kings Landing filming was done there. Croatia is a stunning location, so you may also want to consider looking at a sailboat charter so that you can experience it in all its glory.  From beautiful Dubrovnik to stunning beaches, there really is a lot that you can enjoy here and definitely a worthy destination for the future.

Angels and Demons – Italy

Are you a fan of the Dan Brown books? Did you love Angels and Demons as a film? Then as you may have gathered most of the filming was done in Italy. You could experience some of the epic churches in Rome, and the iconic Vatican City, as well as the hustle and bustle of the city. Italy has a lot to offer, and if you can combine one location with a few other destinations then places like the Amalfi Coast, Venice and Lake Garda may also be on your hit list for this country.

Mamma Mia – Greece

Finally, Mamma Mia is one of those films that you just can’t help but love and sing along to, and so maybe you want a taste of the lifestyle and by doing so you can head to Greece. The film was actually filmed on the island of Skopelos. It can be accessed by boats and has all of the stunning white sandy beaches you see on the film.

Let’s hope this has inspired you for some of the destinations that you can visit.


If you had to choose one place to visit, which would you choose?  I would HANDS DOWN choose Greece!  It’s still on my bucket list!
