New research has found the iconic filming locations for popular Netflix shows that viewers can visit. From Squid Game to Bridgerton, language experts at Busuu have found the locations fans can look around and explore to channel their favourite characters.
Rather than building sets to film its most popular shows, many Netflix fan favourites are shot on location around the world. Visitors can tour these sites to see the famous locations featured in the streamer’s hit shows for themselves.
A spokesperson for Busuu said: “There have certainly been times where we imagine ourselves within the world of our favourite Netflix shows. And luckily for fans, there are plenty of locations you can actually visit to explore the sites where your favourite Netflix show was filmed.

“You can imagine yourself at a magnificent Bridgerton ball at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire, or picture a true Emily in Paris lifestyle as you watch the world go by along the Place de l’Estrapade in the heart of the French capital.”
Here are Busuu’s top Netflix locations you can visit for yourself:
Seoul, South Korea – Squid Game
Netflix K-dramas are a massive hit with viewers across the world and Squid Game tops the list of the most-watched Netflix series. The show was largely filmed on several sets in South Korea, but Seoul also featured throughout the series as the home city of the Squid Game contestants.
The protagonist Gi-hun’s neighbourhood was the Ssangmun-dong district, and it is in this neighbourhood where Sang Woo’s mother has a fish stall at the Baegun Market. The marketplace is a real location fans can explore.
The corner shop where Gi-hun first meets the old man is open for tourists too, found on Uicheon-ro 39-gil, shop number 11.
Hatfield House, Hertfordshire – Bridgerton
This grand Jacobean manor house was one of the on-site filming locations for Netflix’s Bridgerton, featuring as the site for Lady Trowbridge’s ball in season one. The house itself is a popular spot for other TV shows and films, and has specific open days for the public to explore around the house and its grounds.
There are many other famous filming locations to visit in the UK where Bridgerton was shot – like Ranger’s House in London which hosts an impressive art collection and No.1 Royal Crescent in Bath, which is also a museum dedicated to showing visitors Georgian interior and lifestyles.
The Place de l’Estrapade, Paris – Emily in Paris
Emily and Gabriel live in a charming building in this square which also hosts several of the famous filming locations featured throughout Emily in Paris. The Boulangerie Moderne bakery which Emily regularly buys pastries from exists in real life and is now a tourist hotspot for delicious French croissants.
Gabriel’s restaurant, the Les Deux Compères, was also filmed here, but is the Terra Nera Italian restaurant in real life. The Place de l’Estrapade itself is an attractive Parisian square with gorgeous architecture, fountains, benches and trees for Emily in Paris fans to enjoy a tranquil visit and watch the world go by.
Berlin, Germany – The Queen’s Gambit
Although The Queen’s Gambit is set in midwestern America, Berlin featured as a top filming location for the Netflix series. Visitors to Germany’s capital city can check out several of the sites Beth visits in the show. Her Cincinnati chess tournament was filmed in the grand Spandau town hall and the well-known Meistersaal chamber music hall.
Berlin’s biggest ballroom – the Palais am Messe-Funkturm – was used for the US Open scenes.
Plaza de Callao, Madrid – Money Heist
The hit Spanish crime thriller was filmed in several locations around Madrid. For security reasons Netflix were not allowed to film the outside of the Royal Mint of Spain, and instead used the Spanish National Research Council building in the city.
Although the inside is not open to the public, it is a popular spot on the city’s walking tour of the famous sites featured in the show. In the centre of Madrid is the square where Money Heist’s bank note shower scene was shot, the Plaza de Callao.
Visitors can explore what has been dubbed Spain’s Times Square and see the real location of the Netflix filming.
