    1. Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) — New York City, USA

    Home Alone 2, Annie Hall, When Harry Met Sally... Breakfast at Tiffany's is just one of many films that make us want to get lost in Manhattan. It's no surprise — NYC is pretty much the most popular movie set location in the world.

    What to do: Take Holly's lead with a stroll through the Upper East Side and Central Park, and a visit to the iconic Midtown location of the New York Public Library. While the OG Tiffany & Co. store is currently under renovation, you can still pay homage to the film with a visit to the Tiffany Flagship Next Door. Don't forget to have a sweet pastry in hand, the former White House pastry chef for Barack Obama — Bill Yosses — makes some of the city's best at Palais by Perfect Pie.

    Where to stay: Gild Hall, The Quin Central Park, Arthouse Hotel New York City

    2. Roma (2018) — Mexico City, Mexico

    Anna Haines, Netflix

    You probably already knew of Colonia Roma before the movie — the colorful neighborhood has been getting some well-deserved travel buzz for its eclectic street art, hip cafés, and divey mezcal bars. But it was Roma that really cemented the neighborhood as a must-see for any traveler to Mexico City.

    What to do: Wander the leafy streets with a churro from El Moro in hand, savor a farm-to-table lunch at Maximo Bistrot, and get schooled in tequila at one of Roma's many mezcalerias, like La Clandestina, where you'll find 40+ varieties of mezcal.

    Where to stay: Hotel Nima, Hotel Galanga Thai House, Room Mate Valentina

    3. The Darjeeling Limited (2007) — Northern India

    Anna Haines, Fox Searchlight Pictures

    Did you know the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was actually the first hill railway in India and you can still ride it today? While train travel is a must when in India, Rajasthan — where much of the film was shot — is also worth a visit.

    What to do: Get lost in the bazaars and marvel at the dazzling blue buildings in Jodhpur (it's known as the Blue City for a reason), visit the enchanting palaces and temples in Udaipur, and sample the unique delicacies of the Himalayans.

    Where to stay: WelcomHeritage Bal Samand Lake Palace, The Royal Retreat Resort and Spa Udaipur

    4. Up In The Air (2009) — St. Louis, USA

    Spending more time than you'd like in airports is inevitable when on the road. Up In The Air makes life in transit a little more appealing, because, well...George Clooney. The movie makes us rethink airport hotels too; you never know who you might meet on that overnight layover. The best part? You can stay in the very same hotel featured in the film without breaking the bank.

    What to do: It's worth extending your layover to experience this underrated city. Check out the newly-opened St. Louis Aquarium. You'll find it in St. Louis Union Station: an epic entertainment complex that boasts a Mirror Maze, Ropes Course, and Soda Fountain, a '50s-themed restaurant serving boozy shakes and old school sundaes.

    Where to stay: Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, Angad Arts Hotel

    5. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) — Barcelona, Spain

    This classic quirky rom-com shows off all of Barcelona's artistic charm.

    What to do: Admire Antoni Gaudí's funky building shapes in the city's Raval District and colorful murals in Park Güell (where Vicky bumps into Juan Antonio in front of the Dragon Gate). Wine and dine at Els 4 Gats, the restaurant shown in the film, which dates back to 1897 and has grown a reputation as an artist hotspot IRL. And of course — no Barcelona trip is complete without a 'gram of La Sagrada Família.

    Where to stay: Alexandra Barcelona Hotel, Seventy Barcelona, Wilson Boutique Hotel

    6. Wild (2014) — Pacific Crest Trail, USA

    From the sweltering Mojave desert to the snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada — Cheryl's treacherous solo hike shows us it really is about the journey, not the destination.

    What to do: The Pacific Crest Trail stretches all the way from Campo, 50 miles east of San Diego, to Manning Park in British Columbia, Canada. But for those looking to dip their toes in the hiker lifestyle without getting all the blisters, several sections of the trail make stunning day hikes, such as Eagle Rock near Warner Springs or the Lake Tahoe area.

    Where to stay: Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort, Hampton Inn & Suites Tahoe-Truckee

    7. Eat Pray Love (2010) — Italy, India, and Bali

    Another inspiration for solo female travelers, no movie captures the transformational power of travel better than Eat Pray Love. From the hearty Italian meals with locals, to spiritual moments at a yoga ashram in India, to falling in love amid the rice fields in Bali — it's hard not to consider dropping everything for a year on the road after watching this feel-good film.

    What to do: Have a home cooked meal in Rome, get grounded with a meditation class or spa session in India, and take in the views of the Indian ocean while lounging on the beach in Bali.

    Where to stay: Rome Cavalieri, Amanora The Fern, Conrad Bali

    8. Crazy Rich Asians (2018) — Singapore and Malaysia

    That drool-worthy scene of the hawker food at Newton Food Centre has us searching flights to Singapore ASAP. Not to mention those dreamy shots of Langkawi, where Araminta's "Balinese" bachelorette getaway was filmed. The island is also where we see Nick and Colin basking topless in the sun. And who could forget that heated mahjong game between Eleanor and Rachel in Penang's Blue Mansion?

    What to do: Eat all the street foods, obviously. Check out the famous Newtown Centre in Singapore and all the hawker stalls that surround the Blue Mansion in Penang. And, because you don't need a bachelorette party to justify a resort retreat, soak in luxe baths at the Four Seasons Langkawi for some serious R&R.

    Where to stay: Marina Bay Sands (where the movie's legendary rooftop party was filmed), Cheong Fatt Tze The Blue Mansion, Four Seasons Langkawi

    9. Call Me By Your Name (2017) — Lombardy, Italy

    Elio and Oliver lounging poolside in the warm summer sun, racing on bicycles in the quiet countryside, discovering a ruined sculpture in Lake Garda...Lombardy makes Call Me By Your Name.

    What to do: Explore the more than 100 violin workshops in Cremona, eat all the stuffed tortelli in Crema, and admire the ancient architecture of the walled mountain village of Bergamo.

    Where to stay: Hilton Lake Como, Delle Arti Design Hotel, Gombit Hotel

    10. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) — Los Angeles, USA

    Anna Haines, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group

    Tranatino's latest is all about nostalgia for an LA from a bygone era, when it was once the destination for rebels and revolutionaries.

    What to do: You can take the more classic route — hitting up all the IG hotspots like Runyon Canyon Park, Venice Beach, and Santa Monica Pier. Or you can follow a movie-inspired itinerary to check out all the film's unique locations, like Corriganville Park, Cameron Nature Preserve, and El Coyote, a Mexican café dating back to 1931.

    Where to stay: Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, The LINE Hotel, H Hotel Los Angeles

    11. Love Actually (2003) — London, England

    Universal Pictures / Via media.giphy.com, Anna Haines

    No movie makes London look more magical than this Christmas rom-com classic.

    What to do: Pop into art boutiques and take in views of St. Paul's Cathedral from Gabriel's Wharf on the South Bank (where Daniel discovers his son is in love). Check out the colorful houses in Notting Hill, where Mark confesses his love to Juliet via those adorable handwritten signs. And don't forget to sing "Love Is All Around" when passing through Heathrow on your way home.

    Where to stay: The Trafalgar St. James, Good Hotel

    12. The Beach (2000) — Southern Thailand

    Ok so maybe half of this film's beauty lies in Richard's consistent half-dressed look, but the movie also does a pretty good job of highlighting the crystal clear waters of Ko Phi Phi Leh. The film captures what so many travelers to Thailand search for — untouched paradise.

    What to do: While Richard's Maya Beach has since closed due to environmental damage from tourists trashing the filming location, there are still plenty of white sand beaches to explore in Southern Thailand (just remember to respect the environment!). Or hop between islands on an eco-friendly, small-ship cruise with Peregrine Adventures.

    Where to stay: Golden Buddha Beach Resort, Conrad Koh Samui, Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort

    13. Tracks (2013) — Australian Outback

    Before Wild, there was Tracks. The biggest difference? Robyn is hiking in the desert with four camels and her pup in tow. The movie was one of the first to inspire women around the globe to travel solo. While many flock to the continent's East Coast for the cosmopolitan cities of Melbourne and Sydney, the Aussie outback is not to be missed.

    What to do: Strap on your hiking boots for a walk around the sacred red monolith that is Uluru, explore the desert in eco-friendly style on a camel safari, and hop on luxury train The Ghan when you need a break from the desert sun.

    Where to stay: Kings Creek Station, Longitude 131° (hello, luxury glamping)

    14. Amélie (2001) — Paris, France

    UGC Fox Distribution, Sylvain Sonnet / Getty Images

    Midnight in Paris, Ratatouille, Moulin Rouge!...there are no shortage of films that pay homage to Paris. But none embody all the quirk and charm of the city quite like Amélie.

    What to do: Wander Montmartre's winding streets, stopping for a pick-me-up at the café where Amélie worked — Café des Deux Moulins — along the way, catch a flick at Studio 28 (the cinema featured in the film is also one of Paris' oldest), and skip stones in the Canal Saint-Martin. Don't forget your red umbrella!

    Where to stay: Niepce Paris Hotel, Hotel Saint-Paul, Hotel Henriette Paris

    15. In Bruges (2008) — Bruges, Belgium

    Focus Features/Universal Pictures/Film4 Productions, Peter Guttman / Getty Images

    You know the medieval town of Bruges is worth traveling to when a film that shows an Irish hitman complaining about being there the whole time still make us want to visit.

    What to do: Wander the cobblestone streets, take in historic churches like the Church of Our Lady and Basilica of the Holy Blood, and unwind on the peaceful canals, best viewed from the Quay of the Rosary at night.

    Where to stay: Hotel Prinsenhof Bruges, Hotel Academie, Hotel Heritage

    16. Mamma Mia! (2008) — Skopelos, Greece

    Universal Pictures, Nico De Pasquale Photography / Getty Images

    Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Before Midnight, even Hercules — Greece is another destination that has received no shortage of screen time. But none captures the turquoise waters and crisp white architecture set along the rugged cliffs of the Greek islands quite like Mamma Mia!

    What to do: Go beach-hopping (it is an island after all) — most importantly to Kastani Beach (where Sophie and Sky sing "Lay All Your Love On Me") and take in the views of the stunning coastline from the Chapel of St. John (where Sophie's wedding was shot).

    Where to stay: Skopelos Village Hotel (where the cast stayed), Thea Home Hotel

    17. Sideways (2004) — Santa Barbara's Wine Country, USA

    Miles and his buddy Jack's wine adventures make even the least wine-savvy traveler want to go vineyard-hopping.

    What to do: Sip your way through all the wineries using the movie's filming locations as your roadmap. Or, book a wine train tour through Napa Valley.

    Where to stay: Sideway's Inn (yep, it was in the movie), Hilton Garden Inn, Gaige House + Ryokan

    18. Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) — Cortona, Italy

    Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Andrea Pistolesi / Getty Images

    Would this rom-com have been nearly as romantic without whimsical Tuscany as the backdrop? Probably not. Frances meets a guy and falls in love, but it's really Tuscany that transforms her. If you're looking for inspiration to travel somewhere with a more relaxed pace of life, like the small town of Cortona featured in the film, this is it.

    What to do: Check out Cortona's eclectic mix of magnificent museums and smaller art galleries, tour a truffle farm or winery, and dine at Michelin-starred Il Falconiere.

    Where to stay: Hotel Milu, Villa Loggio, Monastero di Cortona Hotel & Spa

    19. The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) — Peru and Chile

    Focus Features, Pawel Toczynski / Getty Images

    Ernesto "Che" Guevara was a serious badass, and we loved watching him road trip with his buddy Alberto across South America. But who are we kidding, it's a big continent to tackle in one trip — so we've picked Chile and Peru as great places to start.

    What to do: Ride the funicular railways of Valparaíso in Chile (like Che does while reading a love letter from his girlfriend), hike the Atacama Desert, wine and dine in Lima, Peru, and of course — cross Machu Picchu off your bucket list.

    Where to stay: Atemporal, Palacio Astoreca

    20. Lost in Translation (2003) — Tokyo, Japan

    Focus Features, Alexander Spatari / Getty Images

    That sparkling Tokyo skyline from the New York Bar where Bob and Charlotte meet atop the 52-story Shinjuku tower...pure magic. Lost in Translation shows us the beauty of embracing a destination where you don't fit in.

    What to do: Sing your heart out at the same karaoke bar as Charlotte, recover the next day with a relaxing visit to the Joganji temple (she visits here early in the film), explore the entertainment district of Shinjuku, and feast on the tabehodai (all-you-can-eat) menu at Shabu Zen where Bob and Charlotte act super sassy.

    Where to stay: Park Hyatt Tokyo (where Bob and Charlotte meet), BnA Hotel Koenji, Conrad Tokyo
