Fantastic Filming Locations (and Where to Find Them)

The surprising real-life filming locations for some of the most iconic releases in cinema are revealed by a new online destination finder from Royal Caribbean.

Created shortly after the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Fantastic Filming Locations (and Where to Find Them) unveils where the latest big screen instalment in J.K Rowling’s Wizarding World franchise was actually made.

Royal Caribbean’s new guide also reveals where several other box office hits were filmed – with some surprising results, and behind-the-scenes facts about the making of the movies.

Even film buffs might be shocked to find out that the 1996 version of Romeo + Juliet, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, wasn’t actually filmed in the story’s classic setting Verona, but in Mexico.

Game of Thrones fans out there can take a trip to visit the real location for King’s Landing, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Making sure they don’t bump into Cersei Lannister, of course.
