Get on the Set With These 10 New Movie and TV Destinations

1. Newport Nest: "The Gilded Age"

New York high society really dines out on the available filming locations in Newport, Rhode Island. Many of the "Gilded Age" mansions are museums, so the series takes place in the opulent rooms of The Breakers, Rosecliff, Marble House, The Elms, Chateau-Sur-Mer, Belcourt, Hunter House and The Ledges. It will take you more than one day to take in these grand estates, but you’ll also need to squeeze in a hike on the Cliff Walk, as well as shopping and dining in downtown Newport.

2. Irish Isles: “The Banshees of Inisherin”

It was hard not to fall in love with the sweeping vistas and rolling green hills of the Oscar-nominated film about two besties having a falling-out. If you’re looking for Inisherin, though, you’ll be looking forever because it’s a mythical land in Ireland. That doesn't mean you can’t catch a glimpse of the landscape yourself as the movie was filmed in two places: the rugged Achill island and calming Inis Mór in Galway Bay. Most of the little stone cottages were built for production, but Colm’s cottage still stands in Keem Bay on Achill, a top tourist attraction. On Inis Mór, there’s a natural pool called The Worm Hole and medieval church ruins.

3. London Leisure: "Bridgerton" and "Queen Charlotte"

Following the footsteps of the "Bridgerton" and "Queen Charlotte" crews will take you all across England, but if you want to stick close to London, there’s plenty of the period Netflix series to see. Ranger’s House in Greenwich doubles as the Bridgerton family home (exterior). Syon House, to the west, serves as for King George III’s Buckingham House (but Blenheim Palace, Hatfield House, Hampton Court Palace and Belton House are also used in part on "Queen Charlotte"). Hampton Court Palace, former home of King Henry VIII is also Queen Charlotte’s St. James’s Palace, for both interior and exterior shots. If you find yourself in London to do a "Bridgerton" tour, there’s no end of other things to do from touring The Tower of London to watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

4. Sicilian Sightseeing: "White Lotus"

The first season of White Lotus will take you to Hawaii, but the second season of the hotel-based show was filmed at San Domenico Palace, Taormina, an island off the coast of Italy. It was once a monastery but now it’s a luxurious Four Seasons hotel. In one episode, Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) cosplays as Monica Vitti, star of "L’Avventura," also filmed on the island. Tour the town of Taormina by Vespa for a similar experience. To get out on a day trip, visit nearby villages of Noto, Palermo and Cefalù for cathedrals, palazzos and beaches. Mount Etna, an active volcano, looms large on the east coast.

5. Boston Bound: "Little Women"

Before she created Barbie’s world for the summer blockbuster, director Greta Gerwig brought Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale of sisterhood to life in Massachusetts. Gerwig filmed in Boston and the greater Boston area, including Concord, just west of Boston, where the real Alcott lived. Orchard House, the real family home of the Alcotts and Fruitlands Museum, in Harvard, where the Alcotts also lived, were used as locations, though the main exterior of the March house was built on a private residence in Concord. A soundstage in Franklin provided the interiors.

In Boston, check out the Arnold Arboretum, the Emerson Colonial Theater, Fairmont Copley Plaza, Gibson House Museum and William Hickling Prescott House. For a mini European vacation, travel north to Ipswich where the Crane Estate stood in for Paris. Be the belle of the ball at the Lyman Estate in Waltham, where the film’s party scene was shot. While exploring the area, find landmarks related to other American authors like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

6. Badlands Backpacking: "Nomadland"

"Nomadland" was largely a road movie set in the American West, but its Badlands backdrop provided some of the most dramatic scenery of the film. The South Dakota location is all about nature, from the pink cliffs of Badlands National Park, best glimpsed at sunrise and sunset, to Pine Ridge Reservation. There, explore Oglala Lakota Living History Village for a better sense of the history of the land. Get a burger at the Wall Drug and Café and stop for a photo op with the famous jackelope and dinosaur statues.

7. Dominican Republic Retreat: "Old"

Don’t be afraid of the spooky beach in M.Night Shyamalan’s "Old," where the secluded cove makes you age rapidly. The real beach is in Playa El Valle, Samaná in the Dominican Republic. It’s just as beautiful and isolated as the movie but with less horror. Pack a picnic, head out snorkeling, go whale watching or simply relax on the beach and watch the world go by as life slows down.

8. Greek Getaway: "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery"

The private island in the Daniel Craig-led murder mystery isn’t private at all but a resort you can stay at called Amanzoe in Porto Heli. The glass sculptures were added in as part of post-production and most of the interior scenes were filmed in Serbia, New York and Connecticut. You can still enjoy the resort’s library, spa, art collection and six pools as well as stunning views of the Aegean sea. The beach is home to watersports and boating, including a docking spot for luxury yachts.

9. Palm Springs Sojourn: "Don’t Worry Darling"

In the film, Victory is an idealistic American desert town in California, but in reality, it is trendy Palm Springs. Most of the architectural marvels from the film are privately owned, such as The Kaufmann House, Canyon View Estates and the Volcano House, but you can drive by and go inside the equally stunning Palm Springs Visitors Center and Palm Spring City Hall. With the 1960s vibe, pink Cadillacs and endless aquamarine pools, you might catch a whiff of "Barbie," too. If you happen to go in April, the Coachella music festival is nearby.

10. North Carolina Cruise: "The Summer I Turned Pretty"

Surprise, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" fans, but the Cape Cod-set teen romance series is actually filmed in North Carolina, in and around Wilmington. Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Fort Fisher and the Cape Fear Country Club are the centers of the action. "Dawson’s Creek" fans might recognize some of the downtown shots as the series also filmed there. A classic summer resort town, there’s lots to do, from day cruises to e-bike tours.
