Top 5 Filming Locations in the Netherlands
Amsterdam
This view of the canal never gets old. Many romantic-comedy and drama movies love to bring their productions to Amsterdam because of its famous view. Amsterdam is referred to as the “Venice of the North”, for its large number of canals. Presently, Amsterdam is now designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. “The Fault in Our Stars” was filmed in most parts of Amsterdam. Following that, an action-comedy film starring Ryan Reynold ”The Hitman’s Bodyguard” and many other blockbuster films and series productions were set in Amsterdam.
Haarlem Station
Not far from the city of Amsterdam, there’s the Haarlem station; a train station in the capital city without an overflow of people in the shot, perfect spot to shoot! A Sequel of a great heist film “Ocean’s Twelve” once used this particular location, the Haarlem Station, in replacement of the Amsterdam Central Station.
Friesland
Friesland is a province located in the northern part of the Netherlands. This countryside contains many scenes of farms, windmills, and nature. This country was used as a background for the horror movie called “Speak No Devil.”
IJsselmeer
IJsselmeer is a closed-off inland bay in the central part of the Netherlands. Bordering three provinces of the Netherlands, this precise location was used in many seascape scenes of the movie “Dunkirk” by Christopher Nolan. If your next film has seascapes or ocean scenes but you don’t want to risk taking your production out physically ocean-wide, we would recommend this spot, IJsselmeer.
Urk
The pier of Urk has also been used in Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk.” It’s located in the Flevoland province in the central part of the Netherlands which is part of the IJsselmeer. This location would be a great match for any type of film production you want to produce.
