Chicago
From the Bean to the L tracks — filming locations across the Loop, the lakefront, and the neighborhoods that Hollywood keeps coming back to.
Featured Locations
A preview of the iconic spots covered in this guide — from the Loop to the lakefront.
The Art Institute of Chicago
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Dark Knight, When Harry Met Sally…
The lion statues, the grand staircase, and the galleries inside — Ferris and Cameron's museum montage turned this into one of the most recognizable filming locations in the country.
Wrigley Field & Wrigleyville
Ferris Bueller's Day Off, A League of Their Own, The Blues Brothers
The ivy-covered outfield walls and the surrounding neighborhood have appeared in comedies, dramas, and one very famous day of ditching school.
Lower Wacker Drive
The Dark Knight, The Blues Brothers, Batman Begins
Chicago's underground double-decker roadway is a favorite for car chases. The Batmobile tore through here, and so did Jake and Elwood — decades apart.
Millennium Park & Cloud Gate
The Break-Up, Source Code, Jupiter Ascending
The Bean is the most photographed thing in Chicago for a reason. Its mirrored surface and the surrounding park have become shorthand for 'we're in Chicago now' in dozens of productions.
