Where was Sam and Bucky’s epic adventure filmed? From Atlanta’s streets to Prague’s castles, discover the real-world spots behind the Marvel series.
Here’s the thing about being handed Captain America‘s shield – nobody warns you about the paperwork. Or the therapy bills. Or the fact that your new partner is a 107-year-old assassin who’s been brainwashed more times than a reality TV contestant.
Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes didn’t ask for each other, and they definitely didn’t ask for super-soldier terrorists, a government-approved Captain America with a hero complex, or a globe-trotting adventure that involves breaking a supervillain out of prison.
But that’s exactly what they got in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021). And somehow, this was filmed in only two cities. Welcome to Hollywood, where a soundstage in Georgia and a few streets in Prague can save you millions.

🪽 The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Filming Locations
From boat repairs to global chaos, here’s where the madness actually went down.
🏰 Prague, Czech Republic
Prague‘s centuries-old streets and castles have seen empires rise and fall, so pretending to be Latvia, Sokovia, and Germany was hardly a stretch.
The Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace and Malá Strana‘s winding alleys all did the heavy lifting. Sebastian Stan nearly came a cropper on Troja Bridge during a wet chase.
Locals in Malá Strana got a front-row seat to two superheroes bickering outside their flats. They probably loved it.
Book a tour:
- Prague: Film Locations Private Tour with Hotel Pickup
- Prague: Malá Strana Gardens & Baroque Beauty
- Prague: Castle Tour with Local Guide & Entry Ticket
What was filmed here:
- Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace: High-stakes European interiors.
- Troja Bridge (Trojský most): Action sequences and chases.
- Lesser Town (Malá Strana): Streets of Sokovia and Latvia.
- Prague Castle Area: International establishing shots.
Trivia:
- The show planned to film action sequences in Puerto Rico, but January 2020 earthquakes put paid to that. So Marvel shrugged, rewrote the script, and flew to Prague instead.
🍑 Atlanta, Georgia
If it looks like a Marvel movie, there’s a good chance it was shot in Georgia. Atlanta served as the production hub, with Trilith Studios housing the massive sets. The city stood in for everything from Sam‘s Louisiana hometown to the Smithsonian Museum.
The High Museum of Art doubled as the Global Rescue Council headquarters, giving us one of the most pivotal moments in Sam‘s journey – and probably the most confused security guards in Atlanta history.
Meanwhile, the neon-soaked criminal underworld of Madripoor was built on a backlot with heavy lighting and visual effects. Because nothing says “dangerous cyberpunk city” like a soundstage in Georgia.
