Discover how Glasgow has transformed into New York, Philadelphia, Gotham City and more on this 2-hour guided walking tour through the heart of Scotland’s biggest city.
Starting at Glasgow Central Station, your expert guide will take you through the city centre to uncover filming locations from major Hollywood blockbusters, cult classics and hit TV productions. With its grand Victorian architecture, imposing streets and atmospheric lanes, Glasgow has become one of the UK’s most versatile filming destinations — often standing in for cities thousands of miles away.
See streets transformed into New York for high-speed action sequences in Fast & Furious 6 and the latest Spiderman film Brand New Day, and discover locations used for superhero blockbusters including The Batman and The Flash. You’ll hear how filmmakers transformed everyday Glasgow streets with sets, vehicles, stunts and visual effects to create completely different worlds on screen.
Follow in the footsteps of Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones at the location used to recreate 1960s New York in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and visit George Square, spectacularly transformed into Philadelphia for the zombie epic World War Z starring Brad Pitt.
The tour also explores some of Glasgow’s newest screen appearances, including locations used for The Running Man starring Glen Powell, where familiar city-centre landmarks were given a futuristic new identity.
