Fernwehly
The real places inside the stories you love
Fern·weh — German

Every story happens somewhere.

Fernweh is the ache for faraway places — the opposite of homesickness. Fernwehly maps the real cities, streets and landmarks inside the books, films and series you love, so you can see them, and one day stand in them.

01

Pick a story

A novel, a film or a series — or start from a city and see which stories pass through it.

02

Follow the route

Every real place, in story order, with a photo, a short note and what happens there.

03

Go and stand there

Only real places, never invented ones — with a note on each, so you know what to look for when you get there.
