10 Real-Life Locations Featured in TV and Movies
When watching a movie, it’s fun to imagine that you might be able to visit some of the locations featured. Here are just 10 real-life locations featured in TV and movies that you can visit.
The Goonies House-Astoria, Oregon
One of the most classic entries on this list, the house is situated in the hills of Astoria, Oregon, and has changed hands a few times. However, it’s wise to be respectful when viewing this house since it’s been closed a time or two when overzealous fans took advantage of the kindness of the owners.
Griffith Observatory-Los Angeles, California
A few movies have been shot near or right next to the Observatory in the past. One of the most famous is The Terminator, but the Transformers have also visited this site.
Al Khazneh-Petra, Jordan
Indiana Jones fans will recognize the entrance to the temple where Indy and his enemies found the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, the entrance only leads to a simple, stone-walled room.
Kings Cross Station-London, England
Potterheads have been visiting this spot in England for many years now for photo ops, and it’s actually encouraged. After all, not every train station features a hidden entrance in a movie.
Baseball Field-Dyersville, Iowa
Yes, this field does really exist. People can even visit and take photos if inclined since it’s fun to think of Kevin Costner and Ray Liotta standing on this field at the same time.
Ahch-To-County of Kerry, Ireland
Skellig Michael is the name of the island where Luke Skywalker and Rey finally met at the end of The Force Awakens. It’s a bit remote, but it’s still a place that people can visit.
Breaking Bad House-Albuquerque, New Mexico
It’s fair to say that this is one of the more recognizable homes from television that people still talk about. Even years after its end, Breaking Bad has continued to entertain the type of legacy that people can’t stop analyzing.
Staircase-The Bronx, New York
True, this was supposed to be Gotham City in the 80s. But people can visit this staircase in the Bronx and possibly belt out a little dance routine like Joaquin Phoenix did in the movie.
Museum of Art Stairs-Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
People have enjoyed and still enjoy running up the steps to thrust their fists triumphantly in the air, much like Rocky did. While the statue hasn’t been there for a while, it’s still an iconic location.
Painted Ladies-San Francisco, California
You do need to be a fan of Full House to really understand the importance of the Painted Ladies. However, the homes have also been featured in various movies and TV shows over the years, though Full House helped to make them recognizable.
