People We Meet on Vacation was mainly filmed in Barcelona, Spain , and New Orleans, Louisiana , with nearby Spanish locations standing in for several of the story’s “vacation” settings. Many Ohio, Boston, Tuscany, and Canada scenes were actually recreated around Barcelona and on the outskirts of New Orleans.

Main Filming Locations

  • Barcelona and surrounding areas were used for a large portion of the movie, including Poppy’s “New York City” office and the supposedly Tuscan countryside.
  • New Orleans, Louisiana, provided the backdrop for Poppy and Alex’s small Ohio hometown, as well as some Boston-stand‑in locations.

Notable Stand‑In Spots

  • Coastal town Lloret de Mar in Spain appears to be the beach used for the film’s final scenes, doubling for a more generic vacation coastline.
  • Catalonia’s Terradets gorge and nearby reservoir were used to represent the Canadian town of Squamish and its river setting.

Specific Places Fans Can Visit

  • In and around New Orleans, recognizable spots include the Lower Garden District, Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, CafĂŠ du Monde, and Frenchmen Street bars used for night‑out scenes.
  • In Catalonia, locations like Can LlambĂ­, a historic farmhouse near Llagostera, stood in as the lush Tuscan villa from one of Poppy and Alex’s most romantic trips.
