There\u2019s nothing like being transported to a far-off land, with new adventures and interesting characters. Actually, when we put it that way, it sounds a lot like Interrailing! Well, what better way to combine the two than to take a route to visit some famous film locations. We\u2019ve chosen a few places you hopefully won\u2019t have thought of, to try and mix it up a bit.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"inter-content-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"inter-2761828631\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4633244982126279\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4633244982126279\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7158573474\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As usual, we\u2019ll assume you\u2019re starting your Interrail pass when leaving the first location and that you have a Global Pass entitling you to 5 travel days within 15 days.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Paris<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We couldn\u2019t have a blog post on film locations without including Paris. How about lunch at the caf\u00e9 from Inception, Caf\u00e9 Debussy? Or a visit to the Louvre to try to crack the Da Vinci code? The city boasts several museums and art galleries, along with a food scene that will make your mouth water. A well-connected city served by multiple train lines and its own airport, it\u2019s the perfect place to start your trip.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"inter-content_2\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"inter-4272820253\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4633244982126279\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4633244982126279\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7158573474\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Turin<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We activate our pass and grab a train to Turin! What film featured Turin, you ask? The Italian Job of course! The chase scenes in the 1969 film were all filmed in Turin, except for the insides of the sewers \u2013 which were filmed in Coventry! In recent years the city has hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics and has become a true rival to its North Italian neighbours.<\/span><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/interrailplanner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Gran-Madre-di-Dio-Turin-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1704\"\/><figcaption>Turin&#8217;s Gran Madre di Dio, which classic Minis raced past in The Italian Job (Image:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@fuffio?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flavio Pi<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/gran-madre?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unsplash<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Rome<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next up, Rome! The capital has played host to countless films throughout time such as Ben Hur, Ocean\u2019s Twelve and even one of the Bridget Jones films! It\u2019s easy to see why this city is such a draw for film-makers and travellers alike, with breath-taking locations and a history like no other. Within the city sits the Vatican, which is a must-see for museum fans and, you never know, you might catch a glimpse of their most famous resident.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Venice<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quick jump back up Italy and we come to Venice. Appearing in films such as Indiana Jones, The Talented Mr Ripley and Casino Royale, the city\u2019s famous canals and incredible architecture make it such a recognisable location. From personal experience, the train is the best method of arriving. You\u2019ll never forget stepping out of Santa Lucia station and being greeted by the sights of this magnificent city.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Salzburg<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We leave Italy behind for Austria and the Alps. Salzburg has featured in a previous article and for good reason &#8211; it\u2019s a city straight out of a fairytale! Most importantly for us, it\u2019s where much of The Sound of Music was filmed! The city revels in this fact, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/salzburg-l4\/original-sound-of-music-tour-t722\/?partner_id=RBQQWSJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sound of Music tours<\/a> being common. For those who prefer action over song, the 2010 film Knight and Day had several scenes shot in Salzburg. The city itself has great transport links to the nearby mountains, so you can sing on the hilltops to your heart\u2019s content, or just chill out before your next train journey.<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b> Krakow<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A night train later and we\u2019re in our final location. Krakow was most notably seen in the 1993 Oscar-winning film Schindler\u2019s List. From the old Jewish quarter to the almost one-thousand-year old church in the Main Square, Krakow\u2019s history is a fascinating one. The city also has a bubbling nightlife, with many bars and clubs, making it the perfect place to end an Interrail trip.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there we have it! A route for film fans which also includes some hopefully less expected cities.
