The good germany film location tours fill weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and where they differ.
Spend a full day at Movie Park Germany in Bottrop, exploring seven themed areas, more than 40 rides and shows, PAW Patrol’s Adventure Bay, Nickland, Star Trek Operation Enterprise, and movie-themed coasters. Admission skips the ticket line, while food, parking, and Halloween mazes cost extra.
At Attraktion Berlin in Mitte, you choose from 30 short films and watch with 3D glasses while the seat and room add water, wind, fog, lightning, and movement. The five-minute session suits families and curious adults. Staff can assist in German, Russian, or English, and groups are limited to eight people.

Play 16 story-led minigolf courses at 7th Space Cologne, where Pacman, Jack Sparrow, film, television, and gaming themes shape each hole. Your ticket includes an introduction and guided walk through the interactive stations. Allow one hour. English and German support is available, but the indoor basement setting can feel tight when busy.
Head to Theater am Großmarkt in Hamburg for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a stage play set years after the original books. Follow adult Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a new generation through a story packed with illusions, visual effects, and live performances. Exchange your voucher for a numbered seat ticket 1.5 hours before the show.
Walk Bamberg’s old town with a German-speaking guide from Geschichte Für Alle e.V. See filming sites from The Flying Classroom, The Sams, The Three Musketeers, and The Empress, with scene photos shown at the locations. Guides including Emma and Brid lead the two-hour route from the Old Town Hall to the cathedral.

Meet photographer Annika for a 30-minute private Berlin U-Bahn photoshoot in English or German. She will guide your poses, take 20 bright, natural-looking images at atmospheric subway locations, and send her selected photos within 24 hours. Solo visitors, couples, and families can choose from three meeting points.
“Even though I was shy for this photoshoot, Annika did some cool photos, thank you.”
Step inside Cologne-Mülheim’s TV studios for a one-hour German-language tour tied to shows such as TV Total, Schlag den Star, and Heute Show. A guide leads your small group of up to 10 through the production world, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, studio details, and television anecdotes. Basic mobility is required, and filming or recording is not allowed.
Walk about 2 kilometers through Düsseldorf with a German-speaking guide and a group of no more than 10. Starting at the former Hotel Nikko, you’ll see sites linked to Hollywood films, Netflix productions, German crime shows, and local cinema figures. The tour ends at the Düsseldorf Film Museum and includes a small cinema-themed gift.
Pick a production, a city or a working lot.
