Customised Country Guides for Film and TV Buffs

Hollywood, California and the U.K. are not the only places where film and TV buffs like you can see amazing sites. There are other places around the world that showcase much more thrilling spots used for location shots. Here are some helpful country guides for places around the world where your favourite fictional place unfolded in front of the big (and small) screen.

Croatia, A.K.A. King’s Landing

Unlike the grim darkness of the place it portrays, namely the capital of the fictional Westeros and the centre of conflict of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Croatia is far from a forbidding country. In fact, the European country is gradually establishing itself as Europe’s festival capital with the Croatia Rocks festival.

Norway, A.K.A. Arendelle

Can’t seem to let Frozen go? Last year, the country saw a huge growth in the number of tourists visiting the country, mostly because they want to see the visual inspiration for the fictional Norwegian kingdom of Arendelle. The Lofoten Islands, in particular, boasts of numerous fjords, rivers, glaciers, and lakes, not to mention the cliffs and small fishing villages nearby, that give Frozen fans an Arendelle experience.

New Zealand, A.K.A. The Shire

The town of Matamata in New Zealand has been the must-see destination for Middle Earth fans who have followed Frodo (from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Bilbo (from the Hobbit trilogy) on the big screen. Aside from bringing the Shire experience to life, Matamata is also popular for its racehorse breeding and racing industries.
