ExploreAbout This Route
Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson embark on a series of Mediterranean adventures in Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. This itinerary connects three confirmed Croatian filming locations from Patrick Hughes’s 2021 film, shot in Croatia in 2019.
1. Rovinj — Carera. Michael and Sonia’s motorcycle escape was filmed in this narrow shopping street. Walk through it and compare the façades with the film still in the location gallery. The GPS marker is an orientation point on the street, not a precise camera position.
2. Rijeka — the Bonavia steps. An action sequence involving a van was filmed on these city-centre stairs. A photograph of the set preparations shows how everyday urban space became a film scene. Approach the location on foot from Korzo.
3. Zagreb — the sports ground behind Mimara. The crew prepared a helicopter scene here. The location is behind the museum, not inside it; follow the GPS and the linked location description.
Suggested direction: Rovinj → Rijeka → Zagreb. The route also works in reverse. For an unhurried visit, we suggest two days: Rovinj and Rijeka on the first, Zagreb on the second. Road transport is needed between the cities. Allow around two hours at the three stops themselves, in addition to intercity travel, parking and breaks.
This is a self-guided film itinerary. Each stop has its own linked page and GPS point. Check access to school grounds or other enclosed spaces locally, and view them from permitted public areas.
