If you’re dreaming of a holiday filled with cinema, emotion, and authentic beauty, the Arcadia Boutique Hotel is the perfect place to start. In this article, we’ll show you where Spider-Man was filmed and why our hotel is the ideal choice for fans and curious travelers alike.
Where was Spider-Man: Far From Home filmed in Venice?
Filming in Venice for Spider-Man: Far From Home took place in September 2018 and includes some of the movie’s most iconic scenes. Here’s where you can relive the experience for yourself:
-
St. Mark’s Square: where the school group arrives and is soon caught in the chaos of the “water monster”—one of the film’s key scenes.
-
Rialto Bridge: visible during fast-paced movements and foot chases involving Peter Parker and his enemy.
-
Grand Canal: the perfect backdrop for a spectacular action scene filmed among gondolas and palaces.
-
Campo Santa Maria Formosa: a lesser-known location used in one of the film’s early sequences.
-
Campo San Barnaba: a recurring area in many films, chosen here for its vibrant, authentic atmosphere.
Unlike many productions that rely on digital backdrops or studio sets, Marvel actually shot on location in Venice, adding a unique sense of realism and charm to the film.
