What do you do when your feet are itching … itching to explore … to take off and wander the world?
Or maybe you possibly just need a bit of escapism? Escape to a different country and culture than your own through means of a great selection of travel movies!
Sometimes reality doesn’t allow for that desperate escape we are in need of, but we can always escape to the travel world through travel films, travel books and travel blogs!
We love movies about travel! It is a great way to hype ourselves up for an impending trip to a new destination! You know when the count-down to the holiday seems like torture, it is a great way to kill some time! We also love watching good travel movies that are set in destinations that we have just come back from. It helps with the ‘Back-to-Reality’ blues that set in when that holiday you have been counting down towards is actually over.
Below is our list of toptravel movies! All of which feature incredible scenery from various locations around the world! The travel movies are listed in no particular order.

1. Memoirs of a Geisha (2015)
Location Featured: Japan
Synopsis:
‘In the 1920s, 9-year-old Chiyo (Suzuka Ohgo) gets sold to a geisha house. There, she is forced into servitude, receiving nothing in return until the house's ruling hierarchy determines if she is of high enough quality to service the clientele — men who visit and pay for conversation, dance and song. After rigorous years of training, Chiyo becomes Sayuri (Ziyi Zhang), a geisha of incredible beauty and influence. Life is good for Sayuri, but World War II is about to disrupt the peace.’
