The Short Answer

Black Widow was mainly filmed at Pinewood Studios in England and Korda Studios in Hungary for interiors and major sets, with extensive on-location shooting in Budapest, Norway's fjords and villages, Tangier in Morocco, and various sites in Georgia, USA. Additional exteriors were shot in the UK at RAF Upper Heyford and Hankley Common in Surrey.

Released in 2021, Black Widow sent Natasha Romanoff back into her past, chasing Red Room secrets through a fictional itinerary that hops from Ohio to Budapest, Norway, Siberia, Cuba and Morocco. Principal photography ran 87 days, from May 28 to October 6, 2019, across five countries: the UK, Hungary, Norway, Morocco and the USA.

The result is a film where most of the places on screen are real, or at least real stand-ins. Georgia, USA doubled for 1995 Ohio, a former RAF airbase stood in for Cuba, and Surrey heathland passed for rural Russia. Much of it can be visited today, from freely walkable Budapest streets to ferry rides through Norwegian fjords.

Location 01

Budapest streets and landmarks

Budapest, Hungary Free to see

Filmed here: Natasha and Yelena reunion, car chase, train station arrival

Budapest stands in for itself more than anywhere else in the film, hosting Natasha and Yelena's reunion, the car chase, and the train station arrival. Keleti station and Citadella among other landmarks are freely accessible. Visitors should respect ongoing traffic and private property when exploring. A guided film locations tour by car is one practical way to cover Heroes' Square, the Chain Bridge, Liberty Square and Szabadság híd in a single outing.

Hjørundfjorden, Sæbø
Location 02

Hjørundfjorden

Møre og Romsdal, Sæbø, Norway Free to see

Filmed here: Ferry scene and Natasha's safehouse approach

The ferry scene and Natasha's safehouse approach were filmed on this fjord near Sæbø in western Norway. The scenery is the attraction here: steep mountains plunging into dark water, much as it appears on screen. The fjord is accessible by ferry and is best viewed from public roads or organized tours. It sits in Møre og Romsdal, a region best reached by car or coastal transport.

3278 Embry Hills Drive, Chamblee
Location 03

3278 Embry Hills Drive

Georgia, Chamblee, United States Private property

Filmed here: 1995 Ohio family home and dinner scene

The 1995 Ohio family home and its memorable dinner scene were shot at a real private residence on Embry Hills Drive in Chamblee, Georgia. This is not a studio façade but somebody's actual house. Access is private, so the only appropriate visit is a quick look from the street. Travelers should be respectful of the homeowners and avoid lingering or blocking the driveway.

Location 04

RAF Upper Heyford

Oxfordshire, Upper Heyford, United Kingdom Outside only

Filmed here: Cuba airfield arrival scene

This former airbase in Oxfordshire stood in for the Cuban airfield where the characters arrive, with VFX adding Caribbean backdrops in post-production. Today it is a largely decommissioned site. Some areas are accessible for events or walks, but the current status can change, so check before making the trip. What visitors see is the open airfield landscape rather than a dressed film set.

Hankley Common, Tilford
Location 05

Hankley Common

Surrey, Tilford, United Kingdom Free to see

Filmed here: Helicopter crash and Russian farmstead exteriors

Hankley Common near Tilford in Surrey doubled as a Russian farmstead and served as the setting for the helicopter crash scenes. It is public common land, open for walking, and visitors need only follow local rules. The heathland looks much as it did during filming, which makes it one of the easier locations to match to the screen. Sturdy shoes and a map are advisable on the wider common.

Macon Terminal Station, Macon
Location 06

Macon Terminal Station

Georgia, Macon, United States Free to see

Filmed here: Albany train station scene with Ross

The historic terminal in Macon, Georgia played the Albany train station where Natasha faces off with Ross. Exterior and some interior access is possible for visitors. It is a working piece of railroad heritage rather than a film set, so a visit combines location spotting with a look at genuine station architecture. Georgia's slate of Black Widow sites makes Macon an easy add-on to the state's other filming spots.

Åndalsnes area, Åndalsnes
Location 07

Åndalsnes area

Møre og Romsdal, Åndalsnes, Norway Free to see

Filmed here: Mountain and road scenes

The mountain and road scenes around Åndalsnes in Møre og Romsdal gave the film its wild Nordic backdrops. The valley is scenic, accessible by both road and rail, and rewards travelers who take the slower route through it. Unlike purpose-built sets, nothing here had to be dressed; the landscape does the work. It pairs naturally with a trip to nearby Hjørundfjorden for a fuller Norwegian itinerary.

Zoltán utca 18, Budapest
Location 08

Zoltán utca 18

Budapest, Hungary Outside only

Filmed here: Safehouse and meeting scene

The safehouse and meeting scene were filmed at this Budapest address. As with most screen safehouses, it remains a private building, so access is exterior only and the interior cannot be entered. A street-level view is enough to recognize the façade from the film. It sits in central Budapest, meaning visitors can fold it into a walking route that takes in the city's other Black Widow landmarks.

Rome, Georgia sites, Rome
Location 09

Rome, Georgia sites

Georgia, Rome, United States Free to see

Filmed here: Escape route and post-credits cemetery

Various public streets in Rome, Georgia and the area around Barron Stadium were used for the escape route and the post-credits cemetery sequence. Because these are ordinary public spaces, visitors can wander them freely at any time. Rome adds another stop for anyone building a Georgia-based Black Widow trip alongside the Chamblee house and Macon's train station. No tickets or special access are required.

Tangier Medina rooftops, Tangier
Location 10

Tangier Medina rooftops

Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Tangier, Morocco Ticketed

Filmed here: Yelena's rooftop sniper mission

Yelena's rooftop sniper mission was filmed among the rooftops of the Tangier medina in Morocco. Access to the medina itself is ticketed through guided tours, which are readily available and the sensible way to explore the tangled alleyways. Visitors should respect local customs while walking the area. The rooftop views over the city and strait remain the main draw, film connection or not.

Where It Is Set Versus Where It Was Filmed

The story is set in 1995 Ohio, Budapest, Norway, Siberia, Cuba and Morocco, but the filming map looks different. Georgia in the USA stood in for the Ohio scenes, including a real private house on Embry Hills Drive. RAF Upper Heyford in England doubled for a Cuban airfield with visual effects supplying the Caribbean surroundings, and Hankley Common in Surrey passed for a Russian farmstead. Budapest, Norway and Morocco, by contrast, largely played themselves.

The Studio Side

Interior work and major sets were built at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, England, and Korda Studios in Etyek, Hungary. Neither studio offers public access tied to this production, so travelers should focus on the on-location sites instead. Korda's proximity to Budapest explains why so much of the film's European location work concentrated in the Hungarian capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Black Widow actually filmed in Russia?

No. Although parts of the story are set in Siberia, no filming took place in Russia. Hankley Common in Surrey, England doubled as a Russian farmstead for the helicopter crash scenes, with studio work at Pinewood and Korda covering the rest.

Can you visit the Ohio house from the beginning of the film?

You can see it, but not go inside. The 1995 family home is a real private residence at 3278 Embry Hills Drive in Chamblee, Georgia. View it from the street only and be respectful of the homeowners.

Why does the Cuban airfield look English?

Because it is. RAF Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire stood in for the Cuban airfield, with visual effects adding the Caribbean backdrops. Some areas of the former base are accessible for events or walks, but check current status before visiting.

How long did filming take?

Principal photography lasted 87 days, running from May 28 to October 6, 2019, across five countries: the UK, Hungary, Norway, Morocco and the USA.

Which Black Widow locations are easiest to visit?

Budapest is the most rewarding base. Keleti station, Citadella and the safehouse exterior at Zoltán utca 18 are all in or near the city center. Hankley Common in Surrey and the public streets of Rome, Georgia are also freely accessible.

Is there a tour that covers Black Widow filming locations?

Yes, in Budapest. A 2.5-hour private car tour of the city's Hollywood film spots stops at Heroes' Square, the Chain Bridge, Liberty Square and Szabadság híd, locations connected to the film's Budapest sequences.

Black Widow is a traveler's film in a way few Marvel entries are: five countries, real cities, and landscapes that needed little dressing up. Budapest offers the densest cluster of locations and the only dedicated bookable tour, while Norway rewards those with more time and a taste for fjords. Georgia and the English sites round out an itinerary that can be as short as a weekend or as long as a proper road trip.
