The Da Vinci Code

Scotland’s Movie Filming Locations: The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code, the bestselling novel by Dan Brown, captivated readers around the world with its thrilling mystery and intricate plot - I was hooked from the first page. The film adaptation, directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, brought the story to life on the big screen.

It was filmed all over the place with scenes taking place in London, Paris, Malta and, of course, in Scotland. Arguably the best scene in the entire film, and the finale!

At Scotland’s Wild, our friendly, story-telling guides have led thousands of trips through Scotland. We share history, legends and tales to entice people to visit this incredible country!
