Glamorous Lake Como surrounded by verdant mountains lies an hour north of Milan in the Lombardy region of Italy. It’s renowned for pastel-coloured lakeside villages, botanic gardens, hiking trails and fine dining. The list of movies filmed around Lake Como is endless, although the James Bond 2006 blockbuster Casino Royale and Oceans 12 are perhaps two of the most memorable. For Star Wars fans, parts of the planet Naboo from Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones were filmed by Lake Como and Villa del Balbienello near Lenno is the location where Padmé and Anakin married. It’s possible to charter a boat to the villa where you can enjoy a romantic stroll through the delightful 18th-century residence and Renaissance gardens and recreate the moment when they stand on the terrace at sunset.

As Gandalf the Grey once said, “All we have to decide is what do with the time that is given to us”. This is certainly true of New Zealand where the movies were filmed. It’s hard to know where to begin your adventure, but if you know your LOTR movies, you’ll probably start in Matamata on the North Island. Verdant farmland has been transformed into the fictional village of Hobbiton and today remains as a permanent attraction for visiting fans, complete with houses carved into the earth. You can also explore Kaitoke Regional Park in Wellington which became Rivendell in the films with the help of a little CGI. If you plan to head across the Cook Straits for a spot of wine tasting or adrenaline sports on South Island, make a detour to Nelson. It is in this pretty city nestled on Tasman Bay you’ll find Jens Hansen, the jeweller who crafted the rings for the movies. You can even purchase one for yourself or your loved one in 9 or 18-carat gold from the very man who created the original.
