1. Forks, Washington - Twilight

Did you know that Forks, Bella Swan’s hometown, is a real-life city in Clallam County, Washington? Though there weren’t any scenes filmed in this small American city, big-time Twilight fanatics can easily recognize Forks’ landmarks since they echo the locations in Stephenie Meyer’s novels and films.

Forks, frankly, is a relatively small and sleepy town with a modest population of less than 4,500 people.  The monumental success of these films, however, has made it an irresistible destination for Twilight fans who want to see and experience the beaches, forests and rivers featured in this series. In fact, Forks, Washington has become so popular that it sees more out-of-towners than local folks annually.


2. Angkor Wat, Cambodia - Lara Croft : Tomb Raider

We all know Angelina Jolie’s eldest child, Maddox, was adopted in Cambodia. But not too many know that her reason for adopting from this third world country was because she had spent a good amount of time in Angkor, Cambodia, filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. And the movie certainly put this war-torn, seemingly far-flung country on the map. A highlight of the film was shot in Angkor Wat, a beautiful cluster of temples that is breathtaking to behold especially at sunrise. Because of the movie, Cambodia has gone from being isolated to becoming one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in Asia.

3. Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, North East England, UK - Harry Potter films

With a little computer graphics and amazing cinematography, Alnwick Castle was transformed into Hogwarts, the famous wizardry school from the Harry Potter films. Located at Northumberland, the original structure was built in 1096 and has since been receiving 800,000 visitors a year, thanks to Harry Potter. Both the castle’s interior and exterior serve as Hogwarts and it’s the epitome of what English castles truly looked like back in the day.
