Visiting places where your favourite films, TV shows or even music videos were shot in is nothing new, although it probably only became a niche tourism product over a decade ago. These days, there are actual tours that you can join – like The Beatles and Elvis Presley tours in Liverpool (England) and Memphis (Tennessee in the United States), respectively – that will take you to studios, childhood homes and schools, as well as the celebrities’ favourite hangout spots.
Hollywood has its infamous “celebrity tour buses”, where you are taken to see the homes of celebrities who live in the area. Most of the time, you don’t get to stop outside the homes as, obviously, the celebrities don’t like it. But since it isn’t illegal to drive past the buildings really slowly, and some tourists are fine with doing just that, it has remained one of Hollywood’s well-known attractions for years now.
