Put yourself in the movie! Step inside dozens of real-life locations with this gloriously geeky, map-filled compendium.
Locations are everything. They transport us to far-flung worlds and dystopian futures, and provide the backdrop to intergalactic battles and rampaging monsters. Our most obsessed-about stories would be nothing without them.
Meticulously researched and compiled by self-proclaimed superfans and travel experts, The Screen Traveller's Guide maps the real-life locations behind your favourite shows and scenes. Follow the Avengers' battle of New York, discover the Croatian location for Game of Thrones' King's Landing, find out how New Zealand transformed into Lord of the Rings' Middle Earth, uncover exactly where the magical world of Harry Potter is set - and much more.
So what are you waiting for? Dive straight in to discover:
- Thematic chapters - superheroes and villains (eg Marvel Cinematic Universe, Batman), fantasy (eg Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones), family favourites (eg Harry Potter, Back to the Future), horror (Wicker Man, The Shining), crime and punishment (Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders), and action (Die Hard, Enter the Dragon).
- Maps of real-life locations, key scenes and must-visits.
Along the way, you'll discover the landmarks to avoid during an alien invasion, the coolest villain lairs, the most iconic road trip routes, and lots of travel inspiration from your pop culture cornerstones.
Welcome to the ultimate travel guide for every screen geek.
