In the Movies: Popular Film Destinations
| June 2, 2017
9. Budapest, Hungary
Budapest, like Prague, is a city in Europe which still maintains a relatively low cost of living and as a result, is able to offer a bargain to production studios. Budapest also features diverse architecture from the city’s long history, which allows it to stand in for a variety of different cities with similar-looking neighborhoods.
Some movies that have filmed in Budapest only to disguise it as another city are Munich (where it portrayed Rome and London), Being Julia (London), and The Martian (Beijing!). Budapest’s most stunning architecture is centrally located on the banks of the Danube River, so make sure to start there if you’re searching for popular movie locations.
