In the United Kingdom, London's Harry Potter film franchise exists in reality. Travelers can go beyond the studio tours and soundstages to see the famed Leadenhall Market, which posed as Diagon Alley and the hidden Platform 9 ¾ at bustling King’s Cross Station.
England isn't just home to Harry Potter, another famous film franchise has also used the country as its backdrop--Star Wars. Puzzlewood is an ethereal atmosphere and has been called ‘the most magical forest on the face of the earth' by Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy, and it plays a starring role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Elsewhere in Europe, Salzburg plays a central role in the popular musical "The Sound of Music." Tours take guests to the von Trapp family’s home town while guests can sing along to their favorite songs while visiting Mirabell Gardens, Nonnberg Abbey, and Leopoldskron.
Fans of another popular musical will want to head to Skopelos, Greece, the setting of "Mamma Mia." Fans can see the site of Sophie’s wedding at the cliffside church of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, or visit the film’s pristine coastal backdrops at Kastani and Glysteri Beach.
Adventure films such as "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and "Gladiator" use exotic backdrops around the world that Avanti can take guests to, including the ancient city of Petra in Jordan and Aït Benhaddou in Morocco.
