    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      Exactly, the, "curse," somehow completely missed Howard Carter, the head excavator, bacteria likely was the cause of all those deaths.

    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
