where did they film people we meet on vacation

People We Meet on Vacation was filmed mainly in New Orleans, New York City, and the Catalonia region of Spain, including Barcelona and parts of the Costa Brava.

Main Filming Locations

• New Orleans, Louisiana (USA)
  A major share of the movie was shot in New Orleans, using its streets, cafés, and historic areas to capture the humid, atmospheric backdrop for several of Poppy and Alex’s trips.

The French Quarter, Café du Monde, and Bourbon Street are among the recognizable spots tied to the story’s flashback vacation.

• New York City, New York (USA)
  Some sequences and establishing shots were filmed in New York City, showcasing the skyline and iconic city views to frame parts of the characters’ everyday lives.

These shots help contrast the grounded, at‑home energy of Alex and Poppy with their more escapist vacation settings.

Barcelona and the Spanish Coast

• Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
  Barcelona provided the big, romantic European look for the destination‑wedding storyline and several sun‑drenched vacation scenes.

Its Gothic architecture and Mediterranean coastline matched the “sultry summer” feeling Emily Henry described for this adaptation.

• Costa Brava / Catalonia stand‑ins
  Coastal locations in Catalonia, including Costa Brava and nearby areas, were used to double for other vacation spots like parts of Canada and Tuscany in the story.

Farmhouses and seaside vistas there stand in for lakes, gorges, and villas the characters visit over their years of trips.
