These are heritage places you can walk into that also happen to be some of the most recognisable film and television locations on earth. Not a single road trip but a bucket list, spanning a Georgia courthouse square, a Berber cave-hotel in Tunisia, a Sevillian plaza, a Spanish desert, a Highland castle and a jungle temple in Cambodia. Each stop is a real, visitable site with its own full guide on Cultural Heritage Online.

Do you run walks yourself?

This route was built with the tools we give operators.

Guides, associations and cultural operators build their own routes here: pick the stops from the archive, add your notes, and the map, the GPX and the printable version come out on their own. Your programme gets a permanent page, your events go on the city pages people read while planning — and if you sell a place on your walk, you keep at least 99% of it.
