Is your location not listed? Suggest it
Own or manage a location or studio, or missing a place you have shot at? Tell us what and where it is, add a link, and we list it for free with verified details. We only publish what a venue itself publishes, with the source; photos must be yours or carry a licence we can honour, with the photographer credited.
From location shortlist to production plan
Scout here, then schedule and budget it in Tubes
A location choice ripples through the whole production: travel days, crew rates, the incentive, the schedule. In Tubes you schedule cast, crew and locations in one calendar, keep a budget per scenario in the right currency, and compare scenarios side by side before you commit.
Tubes does not book locations and has no stake in any of them; the links above go straight to the owners and film commissions. Tubes makes the plan behind the choice reliable.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book these locations through Tubes?
No. This guide is free and independent: every entry links to the official site of the location or studio and to the film commission that covers it. You deal with them directly. Tubes is production management software, not a booking service.
How do I get my location or studio listed?
Use the "Suggest a location" form on this page. Tell us what and where it is, add a link, and confirm you are entitled to submit it. Listing is free. Photos must be yours or come with a licence we can honour, with the photographer credited.
Where do the photos come from?
From Wikimedia Commons under a free licence, with the photographer and licence named on every photo, or from owners who gave permission. We never copy photos from other location databases.
How were these locations selected?
Every entry is checked against the venue's own website, the page of the public body that manages it, or a film commission's public catalogue: the place exists, the page loads, and it either publishes filming information, has a documented production history, or is listed by the commission. We record only what the venue itself publishes (facilities, capacity, permits, published rates) and keep the source links with each entry. The first set, in August 2026, held a few landmarks and studios per country; in September 2026 the guide was extended with everyday production locations (factories, hospitals, offices, houses, hotels, streets, transport sites and studios) and with ten more countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg and Switzerland. It keeps growing through suggestions, so it is a starting point, not a ranking.
How complete is the guide?
Not complete, and we do not pretend it is: the count above the list is the real number. Location databases with tens of thousands of entries exist, mostly for one country and often behind a login. This guide is smaller and open, spread across 31 countries, and every entry carries its source. If a search returns nothing, the location may well exist: suggest it and we add it.
What about the production incentive in each country?
Each location card names the incentive of its country, and the full schemes are side by side on the incentive comparison page: headline and net rates, minimum spend, caps and funding risk for 32 European countries and regions.
