10 real locations to explore from the John Wick Chapter 1-4 movies.
Watch Free! John Wick Chapter 1-3
1. Continental Hotel
New York, USA
The Continental Hotel is like the center of the story in this movie. Although it looks like luxurious dog-friendly accommodation that can be found throughout New York, it is actually a relaxing place with impressive service for all the assassins. Moreover, it is a neutral zone where killing is strictly prohibited. In other words, it is the safe point in this world.
The actual location of this place is 1 Wall Street Court building. It used to be an office and has changed ownership several times before being transformed into a residential area.
2. Bethesda Terrace
New York, USA
The area where the assassins regularly meet and is also the final destination in Chapter 2, before Winston gave John an hour to escape from the Assassins Guild, is located in Central Park. This park is like the lungs of New York. It has a pond and a beautiful lake view.
3. Piazza della Madonna
Loreto, Italy

After John received an impossible mission from Santino in Chapter 2, he traveled to Rome to investigate the location and escape route. One of the first places he visited was Piazza della Madonna, an important city square in Italy.
4. Brooklyn Bridge
New York, USA
Bridge of Brooklyn is a very popular location for filming. We can see it in many movies, including this scene where John has just lost his home and is walking his little dog to the hotel.
5. New York Public Library
New York, USA
Before the official announcement is made, John must use the remaining time to gather important belongings that he has stored in the public library of New York City, which is actually a paradise for book lovers. There are 53 million printed materials stored here, making it the second largest library in America and the third largest in the world. This is why librarians are so important here.
6. Times Square
New York, USA
Times Square is also another popular spot for taking photos that tourists must visit when they come to New York. It is one of the busiest intersections on Manhattan Island, which indicates how big the city is. But it is also a place where people walking by may not be trustworthy, as there may be assassins hiding among the crowds.
7. Erfoud, Morocco
When John fled to Morocco, he had to come to collect the blood oath that he had made with Sofia. The filming location had to be in a city in Morocco, which is located in the eastern part of the country on the edge of the Sahara Desert, near the border of Algeria.
8. Eiffel Tower, France
The Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, located in Paris, France. It was built in 1889 and stands at a height of 324 meters. Due to the ever-increasing bounty of John, he had to face a new villain known as The Marquis, who holds an important position in the High Table.
9. The National Art Center, Japan

As we know, in Part 4, John will have to undertake missions almost around the world, and one of the highlighted locations is in Japan, which captures the vibrant atmosphere of bustling cityscape. One of the filming locations is The National Art Center in Tokyo, which is used as a branch of the Continental Hotel in Osaka.
The National Art Center is a national art center located in the city center of Tokyo. It was built in 2007 and is the largest art exhibition center in Japan. It hosts special art exhibitions that are open to the public, presenting different works of art each time, including light and color displays, special exhibitions, and activities to promote art appreciation for the general public.
10. Sacré-Cœur Basilica, France
The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is the location of the climax scene in Part 4 (for those who have not yet watched the movie, I can only say that the stairs here are very high). It is located at a point where you can see the entire city of Paris. In addition to being a popular tourist destination, it is also an important place for the pilgrimage of Catholics.
