Film tourism: travel in the footsteps of films and series
This section brings together posts about filming locations, landscapes and productions that you can connect with a real trip. On OndaTravel you will find both texts about specific films and series and guides to places that appeared on screen or inspired creators.
If you enjoy watching a film and then checking where those frames were really made, this section is for you. I show not only the filming locations themselves, but also the practical travel context: access, availability, season, conditions on the ground and whether such a stop is worth adding to your own trip plan.

How to use this section
- Start with the posts devoted to specific productions — that is where you will find the screen context, locations and the first clues for your own trip.
- Then move on to place guides, because that is where the practical information about access, conditions and trip planning really appears.
- Over the coming months I will keep expanding this section with new films, series and places from Poland, Iceland and other destinations developed on OndaTravel.
Films and series already on the blog
This section gathers posts about specific productions. Here you will find texts where the film or series comes first, and only then do you move to locations, routes and practical travel planning. You already have large-scale adventure cinema landscapes, historical series, science fiction and places that look like another world on screen.
The Odyssey in Iceland
A dedicated post about Icelandic locations connected to The Odyssey and the world of Christopher Nolan. It is a good starting point if you are interested in epic landscapes, the raw scenery of Iceland and travel in the footsteps of a specific production.
King and Conqueror in Iceland
A newer post about where King and Conqueror was filmed in Iceland. For now, the full article is available in Polish, but it is already a good lead if you like historical productions, raw landscapes and linking a series context with a real travel plan.
Halo in Iceland
A new post about where the Halo series was filmed in Iceland. It is a good starting point if you are interested in science fiction, Kvernufoss, Reykjanes and Icelandic landscapes that look like an alien planet on screen.
Stranger Things and Iceland
If you are interested in the finale of Stranger Things, this post is the best entry point into the whole thread. First you get the series clue, and only then can you move to specific Icelandic places and the logistics of getting there.
Jökulsárlón and James Bond
The glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón is one of those places that instantly feels cinematic. In this guide you will find the Bond context and practical sightseeing information about one of Iceland’s most recognisable places.

Places with a film context on the blog
This is where guides to places with a clear on-screen mood or a specific film connection belong. That way you can move from inspiration to practice: check the access, conditions and whether a place is worth adding to your own trip plan.
Gjáin and Game of Thrones
The newer guide to Gjáin Valley connects the fairytale landscape of Þjórsárdalur with a Game of Thrones filming clue. It is a good starting point if you want to link a film context with access, the walk from Stöng and a practical sightseeing plan.
Reynisfjara in pop culture
In the post about Reynisfjara you will find references to Vikings, Star Wars and other screen associations. It is a good choice if you want to connect a practical guide with a pop-culture layer.
Skógafoss in films and series
In the guide to Skógafoss you will find references to Game of Thrones and Vikings. It is a good example of a place that works both as a top Iceland attraction and as a stop with a strong cinematic atmosphere.
Reykjanes with a cinematic feel
Reykjanes has landscapes that fit perfectly into the mood of science fiction, post-apocalyptic scenery and productions that use Iceland’s “otherworldly” setting. It is a good choice if you are looking for a place more through atmosphere than through one specific title. If you want to see a concrete example of this kind of cinematic use of Iceland, also check the post about the Halo series in Iceland, where Reykjanes, Krýsuvík and the Kleifarvatn area appear.
Paraszyn and the film Old People
If you are interested in less obvious filming clues in Poland, check the post about Paraszyn and the Paraszynskie Gorges. It includes a mention of the film Old People, shot in this area, so it is a good example of linking a specific place with a production curiosity.
New productions and locations coming soon
This section will keep growing along with the blog. New posts about specific films and series will appear here, as well as guides to places that gained visibility thanks to the screen. That will make it easier to find travel inspiration not only by country, but also by title and mood.
If you are interested in filming locations, it is worth coming back here from time to time — especially when new materials about Iceland, Poland and other directions developed on OndaTravel appear on the blog.
FAQ: film tourism
What is film tourism?
Film tourism means travelling to places known from films, series or television productions. It includes both classic filming locations and whole regions that became recognisable thanks to specific scenes.
Will I only find posts about films on OndaTravel?
No. In this section you will find both posts focused directly on productions and filming locations and guides to places that have a clear cinematic context. That way you can combine inspiration from cinema with practical trip planning.
Which destinations will be developed in this section?
At the start, Iceland is the strongest direction here, because that is where the blog currently has the highest number of places with strong cinematic potential. Over time, more locations from Poland and other destinations developed on OndaTravel will also appear.

Hi, I’m Krystian “dziadzia przewodnik” from OndaTravel.pl!
The North is my greatest passion, but the world is far too beautiful to stay in just one climate. On my blog, I combine the raw landscapes of Iceland and Norway with the exotic energy of Thailand or Vietnam, showing you how to travel authentically — with passion and a camera in hand.
What will you find on OndaTravel.pl?
Visual storytelling: As a photographer and filmmaker, I don’t just describe places — I take you there with professional photos and video.
North expert: Ready-to-use road trip plans for Iceland and Norway, smart tips for budget travel, and my original Northern Lights Radar (locations and forecast).
Travel through the lens of cinema: I track down filming locations — from icy scenes in Interstellar to tropical frames from world cinema.
New direction: Exotic destinations: I love contrast, so the blog is featuring more and more practical knowledge about Vietnam and Thailand. I’ll show you how to find your way around Southeast Asia and come back with your best memories.
