Took in key sights I had wanted to see such as the Belvedere Palace, The Hofburg, the Schonbrunn Palace and the Prater amusement park with the giant Wheel. The scenes of the Viennese giant wheel and the sewers have become legendary from the film. Imagine my surprise when I found there was a walking tour that covered many of the locations used including a tour of the sewers! That together with a visit to The Third Man Museum with its collection of old movie posters and memorabilia made my trip to Vienna much more memorable for me.fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179932658238589193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-58083070766077105262008-05-18T09:27:00.000-07:002008-05-18T09:27:00.000-07:00a movie has never influenced where i travel but i...a movie has never influenced where i travel but i have gone to certain places that films have been set if i happen to be near ...for example The Topkapi Museum in Istanbul ......and the empire state building in NY but never visited them because of the films they were inshagpile3https://www.blogger.com/profile/00311348101688366358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-15010503680789881732008-05-18T08:13:00.000-07:002008-05-18T08:13:00.000-07:00i havent travelled much. but i moved to the Uk fro...i havent travelled much. but i moved to the Uk from Africa and my immigration was greatly influenced by what i see in movies and read in magazines. <BR/> Im hoping to make a tour of New York and La, another huge example of what i watch in movies and soap operas.<BR/>Beautiful sunny beaches of LA and the hard night out/tall buildings of New York.<BR/>Simply facinating, but i hate flying, only God knows how im going to make to all these places. lol!Queensahharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556283043336463233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-36370984138311107792008-05-12T12:58:00.000-07:002008-05-12T12:58:00.000-07:00In some cases it does sorta influence me, cus I li...In some cases it does sorta influence me, cus I like traveling all over the place.

The Mayo countryside and the village of Cong are places we might never have seen if not for the movie. Something my wife and I would both consider a great loss.<BR/><BR/>On the same european trip we also visited the D-Day beaches in Normandy France. I had watched Saving Private Ryan a short time before our vacation trip and it inspired me to see those beaches even more as a result of the movie. We also visited the concentration camps at Auschwitz which were so hauntingly portrayed in Schindlers List. Movies very much influence me to visit what I have seen.AmericanRebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412494106382790920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-60608802623368880792008-04-18T04:37:00.000-07:002008-04-18T04:37:00.000-07:00I visited Jordan some years ago prompted mainly by...I visited Jordan some years ago prompted mainly by the influence of several movies I have to say. Chiefly it was Lawrence of Arabia which I had read was partly filmed there. This led me to visiting Wadi Rumm and the spectacular red desert cliffs where Peter O'Toole donned his flowing white outfit in the film. My trip also included visiting the ancient site of Petra which looked so impressive in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I knew about both places through reading about them but it was the films that made them come alive for me and were the true inspiration to visit.MKirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776974540454469737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-70685076275554008962008-04-10T07:32:00.000-07:002008-04-10T07:32:00.000-07:00My husband and I recently went to see the film 'In...My husband and I recently went to see the film 'In Bruges'. While we didn't particularly enjoy everything about the film we both agreed afterwards that it did make us want to visit Bruges itself.<BR/><BR/>So yes I think movies can definately make you want to visit a place. In the case of Bruges it was somewhere we had never really considered until we saw this film.tropicaldancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078260096296687602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-52024454157970814342008-01-16T08:02:00.000-08:002008-01-16T08:02:00.000-08:00Movies certainly influence their audiences to trav...Movies certainly influence their audiences to travel to destinations they depict, either as a direct result of scenery and imagery and character/story association or indirectly to locations connected with the movie, its story or original author. <BR/><BR/>The majority of places I have visited as a result of the movies (either to places depicted or the actual film-set locations) are mainly because they happen to be in or around the area I have picked for a holiday as opposed to choosing a holiday destination solely due to a movie's influence. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, I have visited a couple of places as a direct influence of screen persuasion. As a fan of Lawrence of Arabia, my trip to Jordan, particularly the wondrous Wadi Rum, was almost solely based on the film and, of course, the man himself. Some of LoA was filmed in Jordan though the Aqaba scenes were shot in Spain. This didn't detract from my visit to Aqaba as I related to the actual historical representation the film portrays rather than importance of the film location itself. <BR/><BR/>A trip to Tunisia was influenced by the opportunity to visit the film locations of Star Wars including Tozeur (where English Patient was also filmed), the salt lake flats of Chott el Jerid and Matmata staying for a night at the Sidi Driss Hotel - basic but awesome! <BR/><BR/>Also, the film, Sideways, was the prime reason for a recent holiday to California detouring to the Santa Ynez region for a few days. It's a beautiful area and resulted in a memorable highlight of the whole trip with lunch at The Los Olivos Cafe.FionaDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934961575043935545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-60099534499974581122007-11-12T14:01:00.000-08:002007-11-12T14:01:00.000-08:00Although I haven't done as much travelling as I wo...Although I haven't done as much travelling as I would have liked to, I do not think movies ultimately would influence me to travel there.

In a world full of screen gazers (myself included) we can't help but be influenced by the images before us - including places we visit. If we are inspired by the set / location of a film we naturally want to experience it first hand. We need to get out and visit these places instead of just wantching them on the screen! I guess for those who don't have the means / funds / freedom to travel, the escapism of film can go some way to being a substitute.wendyjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099339068016431822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560683019992994287.post-47468657647766058072007-11-08T04:59:00.000-08:002007-11-08T04:59:00.000-08:00It is not always the location that makes us wish t...It is not always the location that makes us wish to visit somewhere from a movie or film.
