What many people know about Los Angeles or San Francisco It is not so much its history, but the plans that are seen of those cities in the big screen The mythical gigantic Hollywood sign is one of the most photographed places in Los Angeles, and it is so because of its connection to the world of cinema. Below we show you some cities that have served as a set and that you might want to visit.
Sevilla
We start with the least known on the list. Sevilla It is the fourth most important capital in Spain and, without any doubt, it is a city with an endless historical legacy. All the civilizations that dominated the Mediterranean have passed through this territory.from Romans to Muslims through Greeks, Carthaginians or Phoenicians.
But since today we want to show your connection to the world of cinema, for approximately a quarter of a century Seville has had one more space to show the world. Not everyone knows that the Plaza de España, one of the most visited monuments in the city, appears in one of the scenes of the Episode II – Attack of the Clones, from the Star Wars saga. In it, Princess Amidala (Nathalie Portman) is seen walking, along with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and R2D2. The Spanish Steps, therefore, were part of the planet Naboo, home of Princess Amidala.
This Seville space is one of the most visited places in the entire city. In fact, it is an obligatory part of one of the numerous guided tours of Seville offered by companies such as GuruWalk. These companies allow you to live the experience of visiting outdoor sets in a unique way and accompanied by local experts who know all the secrets of the destination.
London
From Seville we go to London. The British capital needs no more introduction than itself. To its most visited monuments and squares such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey or Trafalgar Square Many other locations are added that have appeared on the small or big screen.
London, in turn, has some of the best museums in Europe and the world, such as the British Museum or the Natural History Museum. Precisely Much of Night at the Museum: The Secret of the Pharaoh was filmed at the British Museuma saga that unites London with New York, since the rest of the installments have the Natural History Museum in the North American city as their protagonist.
Returning to the United Kingdom, on some of the themed tours in London, much of the interest lies in discovering places that have appeared in television series and movies. Harry Potter and Match Point are two well-known examples, as are Bridget Jones, Nothing Hill, Love Actually and The King's Speech. In fact, many of the places filmed in the movies are currently must-see places for tourists. In the series section we can highlight Ted Lasso, from Apple TV; The Crown, Sherlock, Peaky Blinders or Fleabag.
NY
Following the trail of A night at the museum We came to New York. The most visited city in the United States is indisputably linked to the world of cinema and television. Its streets have served as a set for hundreds of productions.
In series, one stands out that is considered one of the best in history: Friends. How I Met Your Mother It is also set in New York, like Sex in New York or Succession. Something curious happens in this city, and that is that Friends, although it takes place in New York, was filmed almost entirely in a studio in Los Angeles. Of course, the building where Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Joey supposedly lived is a very popular visit in the Big Apple.
In the cinema section, they stand out Taxi Driver, King Kong, Breakfast at Tiffany's, the Spiderman moviesseveral of the installments of the Marvel Universe, The Godfather and The Godfather or When Harry Met Sally. In short, there are few cities more cinematic than New York.
Paris
We finish this summary with the French capital. Unlike New York, where the locations of series and movies make up one of the city's great tourist attractions, Paris is much more than a large outdoor set.
Those who visit Paris do not do so decisively because they will be recorded there. Amelie, The Vinci Code or Last Tango in Paris. However, this addition is another incentive to discover the city.
Thus, to the walks along the Champs-Élysées, the visit to the Louvre, the climb to the Eiffel Tower or the walks along the Seine, you can add other spaces that you may know from the entertainment industry. And it is that Moulin Rouge, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Emily in Paris or Lupine series These are other productions where the French capital is the main protagonist.
