Lake Geneva, Wisconsin: birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons. The town has a convention dedicated to the co-creator, Gary Gygax, every March, along with a display at the museum, a memorial marker, and the home where he developed the game at 330 Center St. open to the public to play a game at. In addition, the original headquarters of the TSR company he created is still standing downtown (as a Kilwin's fudge shop), and the old Dungeon Hobby Shop building is being integrated into the experience soon as well. While Lake Geneva is your typical Midwest tourist town in the summer, in recent years it has become a must-visit mecca for players of Dungeons and Dragons, with thousands of guests every March for the convention, and many others during various times of the year.
Northern Exposure (set in "Cecily, Alaska" or rather Roslyn, Washington) and Twin Peaks (set in North Bend, Washington) are probably just too 90s for the list... :)
You forgot pretty much all of Manhattan. The first time I went there decades ago I kept having deja vu in a place I'd never been. But I'd been watching it on screen for years.
I saw "The Rocketeer." I _know_ how "LAND" letters on the "HOLLYWOOD" sign got removed. Neville Sinclair blew it up when he tried to escape with the defective rocket pack. =)
Paddington station because of Paddington bear. I grew up with that book and watched the movies. I assume that made Paddington more popular even though many never set foot there.
I used to live on Abbey Road and my bus, especially in the evening, was often delayed by masses of tourists blocking the crossing so the bus had to wait for all of them to take their photo and leave. Rather annoying when you just want to go home after a day of work.
I live around the corner from where Paul McCartney grew up as a kid. The Magical Mystery Tour bus is constantly blocking the bus stop and the amount of times I've missed a bus because of the twatting thing! Penny Lane isn't so bad, just a few people taking pictures next to one of the road signs. Oh and never stay in the hotel next to The Beatles museum... Our room was 2 floors up but facing the entrance. Hungover, I woke about 8am to "she loves you yeah yeah yeah, she loves you yeah yeah yeah!" Don't get me wrong the tourism is great for the city, but still bloody annoying at times.
I was obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio after titanic. I was like 7. I jumped atthe chance to go to the Queen Mary. I thought it had something to do with the titanic. 🤷🏻♀️ that’s the only place I wanted to visit because of a movie. That’s my two cents.
Wow, Matt Lucas looks so different with hair! :o I loved him as Nardole on Doctor Who. The place I was most excited to visit familiar from pop culture was the Philadelphia Museum of Art. My parents and I went on a multi-day bus trip out East, and Philadelphia was the last stop. The tour guide was nice enough to let us off at the Museum to do our own Rocky run if we wished. Man, that was great fun. The place I'd love to visit most from the movies is Austria for the Sound of Music. I know they give tours. It's too bad such an excursion would cost so much money.
You might want to do a second last. The church at Rosalynn from the da Vinci code has become a tourist location ever since the movie came out and it was discovered that the church was actually real. It’s one of my places I’m going to go to one day.
Rosalynn Chapel is only a few miles from me and I was surprised it is not on the list. It is way more famous than 'Little Britain.' Edinburgh gets lots of Harry Potter tourists as it was written here. Weirdly the cafe she wrote it in never exploited it and has not closed down. The book was literally created there yet it is less popular than a wall that isn't even in the movie or book where they just put a trolly. They did it to stop people go ing onto platforms 9 or 10 trying to take pictures.
So I grew up in Matamata aka Hobbiton. It has completley changed my hometown, which is great. When I was a child I thought Asian people slept all the time because they'd be asleep on the tour buses as they went through my town. Well they're not sleeping now.
Like several X-Men movies, X-Men : Days of Future Past was shot in Montréal. Montréal City hall was used as the Paris hotel and the fountain where Magneto and Beast fight is right next to it. The railway tracks where Magneto takes control of the Sentinels is actually a tourist railroad North-East of Québec City.
Tarrytown, NY - Sleepy Hollow, NY complete with Old Dutch Church and many of the character names are real people buried in the cemetery, along with Washington Irving's burial plot.
I've heard about it, but have not seen it. They have a guy in a headless horseman costume riding the street around Halloween. They also read the story and have cemetery tours at the Old Dutch Church. It's a neat little town with lots of antique shops.
When someone visits me in Phoenix, I drive them there to have their picture taken. They all go WTF??? We drove 200 miles for this s**t??? Then everybody laughs.
@@teriannebeauchamp254 - 'Take it Easy' by the Eagles. "Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see . . ." Winslow erected a statue of Glenn Frey (that looks nothing like him) on that corner because it draws so many tourists.
The actual scenes from #5 were recorded on uncw’s campus in Wilmington North Carolina for Little Britain USA. Had to look it up to confirm but as an alum I’d never forget that campus.

@@williebauld1007 The bridge is real, though, it's largely remembered for fiction, the other tourist attraction is Loch Ness, with a monster that is definitely mythical.
No Alnwick castle( numerous credits, Harry Potter included) and as for famous village sign surely Gotham should’ve received this credit.... I mean it’s in same county as Bruce Wayne’s mansion
I saw an American tourist complaining about station 9 3/4 as a tourist attraction. It obviously doesn't exist yet for years tourist came looking for it anyway. So to be nice the station owners created that photo opportunity on some random wall. It's completely free and they did it just to be nice to fans of a book they have no interest in whatsoever, yet people still moan about it.
I've found that American tourists are the masters of complaining loudly about things. "This line is too long, they're meant to open at 10am and its now 10:02, this bus wont take me to the castle (a 5 min walk)"
@@matthewdaley746 That's true, but because of the office it's one of the most recognizable cities in America. And they're actually is quite a bit of tourist traps there
Some episodes s of a very popular Korean TV series where shot in Québec city. Shortly after the airing, Korean tourists began to visit the city. Lucy-Maud Montgomery's novel "Anne of Green Gables" is required reading forr all Japanese hithh school students in their foreign literature course. As a result, many Japanese tourists come to visit the exterior sets in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.
Are you serious, Simon? How could the Cliffs of Moher not make this list? The only place in this list that is actually more famous is Middle Earth. I am disappointed. By comparison, the average number of visitors to King's Cross station over the past 4 years was 1.2 million. The number of visitors to the Cliffs of Moher in 2016 was 1.4 million. And the Princess Brise is over 30 years old, bot the recent pop culture phenomenon that Harry Potter was. That tells you something about the staying power of a REAL landmark location.
That film sucked, however, the town of Mystic, Connecticut, also, has a great, but, expensive, seaport, and, aquarium, plus, terrific shopping, and is near the USS Nautilus, and, two Native American casinos.
What about Scotland with Outlander location?. It hasn't hit the popularity of GOT yet, but it also hasn't p$$ed off all it's fans the way GOT did with the finale. Check out the "Outlander" effect on Scottish tourism.
@John R No, but I've been a fan of Outlander since 1993 when the books were being published. I've been to Scotland 4 times, but all before the STARZ series came out. The Scottish tour guides are used to a bunch of Americans who _are_ huge Outlander fans.
@@jphilb Unfortunately I haven't been to Castle Doune, which stands in for Castle Leoch in the TV series. Since we were sight seeing based on the books, we were centered on standing stones and locations connected with the last Stuart rising of 1745.
Unless you want to get robbed, see drug dealers and smell piss, then don’t come to the Bronx because of The Joker movie. That’s all you’re going to see and a lot of angry New Yorkers.
Like White House Down, which is way better than Olympus Has Fallen, (yeah, I said it, and, I'm standing by it), even if no sequels ever were made for it.
The only reason that I would visit Highclere, is that it was the home of the Earl Of Caernavon who financed Howard Carter in his search for the tomb of Tutankhamun. The Earl later died of blood poisoning after nicking a mosquito bite whilst shaving. (No 'Curse of The Pharaoahs' - that was an invention of The Daily Mail newspaper). He is buried in a vault built into the fabric of a hillfort in the grounds of the castle. Never seen the programme made there - it has no interest for me whatsoever.
well, for all the people India and China have, no location mentioned here touts either of those two countries..... i guess we are all just anglophiles culturally-speaking. or don't the Chinese go to movies? i mean, i know India has Bollywood but no one has created a gotta-see location there or in China? (the Great Wall hasn't been a mega attraction b/c of a song, book or movie, etc, has it?) kinda blows ya away, doesn't it? thanks for posting
It is awfully loaded with stone castles and estates with big lawns with questionable appeal to anyone not into dreary British soap operas. It's a big world out there.
I've never seen or read _American Gods._ I guess I'll have to rectify that oversight. I spent lots of time at House on the Rock back when I lived in the midwest.

@@matthewdaley746 That's true.
@@joheyjonsson2825 I think the locals, most of all, have a very negative attitude about large groups of tourists from all over.
your face is match with jhony sins.
I think it's pronounced "lAnd" not "lnd, or lund" in "Graceland."
Nobody but you cares. Plus you likely pronounce many things wrong, being an American.
I beg your pardon. you seem to have left out Forks Washington.
That seems to be intentional, many people would rather the whole Twilight phenomenon just disappear far away into the ether.
@@matthewdaley746 Yes There was far too much drama surrounding the films. I mentioned it because Forks was a popular destination for fans of the books before the movies and will remain so long after. New fan are discovering the books each day. I still want to visit Forks
@@esmeisme921 As long as you aren't expecting too much, I guess you'll have a great time visiting that particular literary destination.
First
Funny how the only American landmark is Graceland at Number 10. If this was criticism of landmarks there'd be more. Biased much, Top 10?
Then make your own American list.
you did see empire state building at 7, right?
Empire State Building and The Hollywood sign?
The empire state building (with the beer-moth ape) 3:58
I thought Hollywood was in the US 🤔
Arrogant Brit.
Why is Simon arrogant? I’m curious? He seems very down to earth! I will say he’s shows favor to leftist ideals🤔.
