Inferno was filmed primarily in Florence, the city where most of the movie is set. Venice, Istanbul, and Budapest served as additional shooting locations. Since the bestseller book of the same name was published in 2013, the capital of Tuscany has attracted many tourists looking for the places where the action takes place.

1. Badia Fiorentina, Via del Proconsolo, Florence
During the opening sequence, we’re treated to a few Inferno locations around Florence in the form of establishing shots. Some of the iconic locations you can spot are the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, which Langdon can see out of his hospital window. The first main location is Badia Fiorentina Monestary‘s Bell Tower in Florence which Ben Foster’s Bertrand Zobrist runs up to escape the men chasing him.
2. Via Della Spada, 19, Florence
After running from the Italian police, Dr Sienna hides Prof Langdon in her apartment. He sorts himself out and finds the pointer in his pocket and decides to call the US Consulate to straighten this mess out. Suspecting they might not be who they say they are, he lies and says that he is stopping at Pensione La Fiorentina. It doesn’t exist. Also, very unoriginal name. The shady hackers find out Robert is actually located at Via Dolorosa, N.12, Apartment 3C. Again, it doesn’t exist. But the pi...
3. The Boboli Gardens, Florence
After hopping in a share car, the Prof and the Doc hightail it to Palazzo Vecchio where there is a painting with cerca trova written on the top, which connects with clues found on the pointer. But to head straight to the Palazzo would be too easy. Instead, they take an ancient route through the Vasari Corridor. Originally built as a secret passageway through the city from Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace through the Ponte Vecchio, it is not as “unknown” as the film makes out. In reality, th...
8. Padova Centrale Station, Padova
The first of the Inferno film locations isn’t technically in Venice but it’s near enough, so just go with it. After getting on a train with Bouchard to Venice and realising he’s a liar, they knock him out and hop off a few stops early at the Padova Centrale Station in Padova.
9. Grand Canal, Venice
What’s a film set in Venice without an epic, sweeping shot of the Grand Canal in Venice? I’ll tell you. It doesn’t exist. Sienna and Robert have supposedly hopped on a boat to travel from Padova to Venice through the canals. This route seems impossible but, you know, this is the movies. Nothing is impossible.
10. Piazza San Marco, Venice
One of the most iconic and realistic Inferno movie locations! Sienna and Robert walk through an absolutely heaving St Mark’s Square in Venice and I imagine this is exactly how it looks most of the time in real life. Sienna even says, “If you wanted to start a plague, this is where you’d do it.” St Mark’s Square appears in so many films including The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).

12. Hagia Sophia, Istanbul
The first Inferno movie location in Istanbul is an establishing shot of the Gilded Museum herself, the Hagia Sophia. Built as a church in 537 AD, it then became a mosque, then a museum, and recently reverted to being a mosque again. But it is my understanding that non-Muslim tourists can still visit. When Robert and Elizabeth arrive at the Hagia Sophia, they head straight to the tomb of Enrico Dandolo.
13. Sahaflar Carsisi Old Book Bazaar, Istanbul
I’m not 100% sure about this location, but it looks like Sienna buys a headscarf at one of the shops in the Sahaflar Carsisi Old Book Bazaar in Istanbul as opposed to the Grand Bazaar. Firstly, it does look like this bazaar and the Grand Bazaar is largely indoors, whereas this one isn’t. How Sienna got to Istanbul, we’ll never know. Again, anything is possible if you want the plot to work thatmuch.
14. Istanbul University, Beyazit Square, Istanbul
Sienna, now with a headscarf so she can blend in, heads to Istanbul University. This Inferno movie location is 100% real. She enters the University through the main gate in Beyazit Square. Here, Sienna will meet up with another person dedicated to her cause.
17. Museum of Ethnography, Budapest
Yes, some of the Inferno filming locations are in Budapest, Hungary! But no scenes in the film are set here. Oh well. The first Budapest filming location is in the Museum of Ethnography in Budapest. This building’s roof stood in for the Palazzo Vecchio’sroof which Robert and Sienna climb through as they try to leave the museum without being caught. The pair access the roof through a hidden door which Robert learned about on a “Secrets of the Palazzo Invisible” tour. ‘Course he did, the little...
18. Budapest Airport Terminal 1, Budapest
Christophe Bouchard, a shady dude working for the European Centre for Disease Preparation and Control, has been on Robert and Siena’s tail all day and he finally catches up with them in The Baptistery of St John in Florence. He insists on flying them to Geneva (or so he says), so immediately following the scene in the church, the next Inferno filming location is at Florence Airport. This is where Elizabeth, head of the World Health Organisation, hopes to catch the pair. Except it’s not Floren...
19. Hungarian National Museum, Budapest
On the train from Florence to Venice, Robert Langdon gets a flashback to when his old pal Elizabeth visited him at his workplace, Harvard University, not Bouchard. The Inferno production team did not shoot this scene at the actual Harvard University but in the gardens outside the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest.
Oct 27, 2016 · The production was able to film in many of the actual historic locations that figure into the plot, including legendary spots in Venice, Florence, and Istanbul.
