10 vampire diaries filming locations you can actually visit.

From the iconic Mystic Grill to the Salvatore Boarding House, many Vampire Diaries fans might want to visit these locations sometime in the future.

  • Vampire Diaries was primarily filmed in Covington, Georgia as the fictional Mystic Falls, but also had some filming locations outside of Georgia.
  • Fans can visit The Mystic Grill, Scoops, Lockwood Mansion, Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast, and other iconic places featured on the show.
  • Some filming locations, like the Salvatore Boarding House, were filmed in multiple locations, including ones that are no longer accessible to the public.

Even the biggest fans of the series have wondered where was Vampire Diaries filmed. After filming the pilot episode in Vancouver, British Columbia, The Vampire Diaries moved the entire production to Covington, Georgia, where most of the series was filmed as the fictional Mystic Falls . Some Vampire Diaries filming locations can also be found outside of Georgia, though the show was rarely shot outside the state.

Watch on Max

Whether for casual fans or die-hard long-time viewers who followed the Vampire Diaries Delena episodes , these places are perfect for any Vampire Diaries fan tour. Throughout The Vampire Diaries' 8 seasons and 170 episodes, Elena (Nina Dobrev), Damon (Ian Somerhalder), and the rest of the ghoulish immortals spent a lot of time hanging out in real locations that fans can physically visit. Among the various establishments are cafés, ice cream shops, boarding houses, public squares, and historical mansions. So, where was Vampire Diaries filmed, and how can viewers find and actually visit these places?

10 The Mystic Grill

The mystic grill can be found at 116 clark street, covington, georgia.

Probably the most famous of all The Vampire Diaries filming locations, The Mystic Grill is a real eatery that fans can visit in Covington . The restaurant was opened in 2014 by fans of the show. Viewers may only recognize the outside, as the exteriors of the restaurant were filmed for the iconic Vampire Diaries Mystic Falls haunt, while the interiors were filmed on a sound stage. Nonetheless, it's a cool, worthwhile place to visit for viewers who remember Alaric recognizing Damon at The Mystic Grill, or that awkward double date at the Grill with Matt, Caroline, Stefan, and Elena. The restaurant is open until at least 9:00PM on a regular basis.

Scoops can be found at 1131 Church St., Covington, Georgia

Any Vampire Diaries fan tour around Covington wouldn't be complete without a visit to Scoops, the colorful confectionary ice cream shop that Elena and the gang visit more than once on the show. Though the location didn't feature as much as The Mystic Grill, Scoops was frequented by The Vampire Diaries cast during filming. For instance, Damon Salvatore's (Ian Somerhalder) favorite treat at Scoops is the banana pudding milkshake (via Go Covington ). The ice cream shop is located in the heart of Covington Square and is open Monday-Saturday from 11 AM-10 PM and Sunday from 12 Pm- 9 PM.

8 Lockwood Mansion

Lockwood mansion is created from two covington locations.

One of the most iconic building locations on the show includes Lockwood Mansion, the place where fans can pay respects to the fallen werewolf Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) and his family. Fans can visit the Lockwood Mansion in Covington, although fans might have to travel to two different locations. The first location includes Worthington Manor, a lavish abode situated in Covington. The place is a private residence but can be toured for a modest price by an outfit called Vampire Stalkers. For those who simply want to snap a picture outside where Klaus killed Mikael, it's located at 2129 East Street, SE Covington, Georgia.

Movies that filmed scenes in Covington include Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Remember the Titans (2000), and Jungle Cruise (2020).

7 Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast

Twelve oaks is located at 2176 monticello st, sw covington, georgia.

Where was Vampire Diaries filmed for the Lockwood Mansion flashback scenes? The second Lockwood Mansion is actually the Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast, a fully operational tourist spot where visitors can stay overnight. In fact, The Vampire Diaries cast members often stayed there during production themselves. The location plays a prominent role in "Memory Lane," the fourth episode of season 2. The elegant, upscale Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast was built in 1836. For those who don't want to stay overnight, daytime tours of the location can be arranged too.

6 The Gilbert House

The gilbert house is a private residence.

Elena and Jeremy Gilbert's (Steven R. McQueen) house, which burned down in The Vampire Diaries season 4, actually still exists. Long-time viewers who vividly remember how Elena burned down the house to cover for Jeremy's death may find it surreal to see this particular Vampire Diaries filming location still standing. The exterior was used to film shots for the show while the inside of the Gilbert house was created on soundstage sets. Currently a private residence, visitors should be more careful when attempting to visit the house and not disturb the residents. Those who want to drive by and grab a quick snapshot or selfie should make their way to 2104 Floyd Street, NE Covington Georgia. The Goonies fans, however, will remember how much the lives of private residents can be disrupted by eager fans as the Astoria home in the movie was frequently sought out by fans for decades.

5 Grams' House

Grams' house is a private residence.

Another great stop for any Vampire Diaries fan tour is the house of Shiela "Grams" Bennett (Jasmine Guy), who played Bonnie's (Kat Graham) grandmother. Bonnie visits the house whenever she needs words of wisdom or encouragement from her beloved family member, resulting in some of the funniest Vampire Diaries quotes alongside the wise insights from Grams. Even after death, Grams' spirit manages to protect Bonnie when she becomes The Anchor. Those who want to visit Grams' humble abode and see how it differs from the many historic mansions among Vampire Diaries' filming locations can head over to 2136 Conyers Street, SE Covington, Georgia.

4 The Clock Tower

The clock tower is located at 1124 clark street, sw covington georgia.

Where was Vampire Diaries filmed during scenes that feature the clock tower in the background? The clock tower that's often seen on the show is actually part of the Historic Newton County Courthouse. Across the street from the courthouse is a shop called "On Location Gifts," where fans can buy all sorts of The Vampire Diaries merchandise. Visitors and long-time Vampire Diaries filming location hunters can expect to be welcomed at both places. Non-vampiric visitors will want to avoid reenacting that scene in The Vampire Diaries where Damon and Elena hang out near the top and then jump off the clock tower.

3 Whitmore College

Whitmore college is actually part of emory university.

While most Vampire Diaries filming locations are in Covington, several other places in Georgia were used as well. One place worthy of visiting is Oxford College of Emory University in Oxford, Georgia, which doubled as Whitmore College on the show. Notably, Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline (Candice King) attended Whitmore in The Vampire Diaries season 5. The college is also where Professor Shane kept most of the strange artifacts in his collection. Located at 801 Emory Street in Oxford, Georgia, the place was founded in 1836, the same year as Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast (Lockwood Mansion), and was likely chosen due to its similar Gothic architectural design.

2 Whitmore Frat House

The frat house is a real oxford college frat house.

Before leaving Oxford, anyone on a Vampire Diaries fan tour ought to check out the Oxford College fraternity house called Orna Villa. This real location served as the thematic "Murder House" in The Vampire Diaries season 4, episode 4, "The Five." Even before being accepted to Whitmore, Elena and Damon shared a key moment in The Vampire Diaries by attending a fraternity costume party in this episode, which memorably ended in a grisly massacre and some huge revelations. Erected in the 1820s, the Orna Villa site is just down the street from the Whitmore College campus at 1008 N Emory Street, Oxford Georgia.

The Vampire Diaries spinoff series Legacies is available to stream on Netflix.

1 Salvatore Boarding House

Salvatore boarding house has a location in covington as well as in british columbia, canada.

Much like the Lockwood Mansion, the Salvatore Boarding House seen on the show was filmed using two different Vampire Diaries filming locations . In the pilot, the location used was Foxglove Farm addressed at 6471 224 Street, Langley, British Columbia. The enchanting place has been used for several films and TV shows and can be visited by interested fans. The second location used for the Salvatore Boarding House includes Glenridge Hall, situated at 598 Abernathy Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia. While both sprawling locales feature the same open courtyard driveway and wooded surroundings, eagle-eyed fans will notice the architectural differences. Moreover, visiting both places would require 2,500 travel miles.

Vampire Diaries fans will be disappointed to learn that damage to the older Glenridge Hall left the house beyond repair. The house itself was demolished several years ago to clear the property for a new development. Sets have been recreated as part of studio tours, however, that Vampire Diaries fans can still see, even if they can no longer visit the actual house.

The Vampire Diaries Filming Locations – A Guide to Covington

The Vampire Diaries filming locations, Mystic Grill

I’m obsessed with The Vampire Diaries so, when I ran out of episodes I did what I do best, travel. And what better way to get the fix of your favorite neck-biting vamps than by squeezing in a weekender to Covington to explore The Vampire Diaries filming locations?

The Vampire Diaries Filming Locations in Covington, GA

If you’re a total Vampire Stalker you are going to flip out when you go to Mystic Falls, or as we call it in the real world, Covington, Georgia. Like you, I’m a huge fan, and hitting up The Vampire Diaries  filming locations has been on my bucket list for a while.

No, I haven’t been watching it since 2009 when it started, but when I finally got on the wagon, I binge-watched every single episode in a matter of a month. Yes, a month. Let me tell you, it’s a whole new level of geekery and I highly recommend it. 

How much will that cost me? Some budget-friendly tips to keep your money in your pocket.

Okay, okay, you’re budget-minded and I get that. Naturally, you want to get right to it. Is this even a feasible trip? No sense in getting your fangs out if you can’t actually afford it.

The good news, visiting Georgia is actually pretty budget-friendly. Here are some pointers to keep you winning:

Flying Into Atlanta

Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a flight hub, one of the largest in the U.S. This means your flights are much cheaper than say if you were trying to fly into Tampa. Hey, even I like to save money (there’s always a kid or an animal who needs it more than I do).

Renting a Car

Really, you’re going to have to do this. Covington is a hot minute outside of the city. Plus, it’s the kind of place to check out and deserves more than a once-over. I always rent from Kayak… It’s just plain cheap.

Where to Stay

Well, this depends on your “Katherine” level. I’m a total Katherine when it comes to lodging. Call me spoiled but the hotel industry was my first career. I like unique places to stay, especially historic (and in light of the theme here, a historic inn is perfectly fitting)!

I can recommend the Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast . Firstly, because they actually use this property for filming and secondly, because it came highly recommended to me by the Covington Visitor’s Bureau (and they don’t just put travel bloggers anywhere…we get the goods).

Apart from this, you can always save when using Kayak in Atlanta which is just a half-hour away. I’m not paid by Kayak, I just really love Kayak.

While you’re at it, if you’re a fan of The Walking Dead , you may as well knock that geek trip off your list too! It’s just an hour from Covington!  

Vampire Stalkers Mystic Falls Tours – Winging it Versus Having a Guide

Okay so, now that we’ve sorted that, let’s start talking! The Vampire Diaries filming locations in Covington A.K.A. Mystic Falls, are pretty much public property which gives you one of two options. You can either wing it, or you can take a guided tour.

Personally, I prefer the guided tour (and I generally dislike tours they bore the crap out of me), but when it comes to a film (the one you know darn well you’re crack-addicted to) a guided tour is anything but boring.

The ONLY tour to take for this is the Vampire Stalkers Mystic Falls Tour .  It will run you $55 USD/person and worth every dime. Plus, it’s partnered with the Ian Somerhalder Foundation which I love.

There are three and only three reasons I opted to take a guided tour of Mystic Falls with Vampire Stalkers over chumming it along on my own:

Jessica, the guide (and founder of Vampire Stalkers Mystic Falls Tours) knows more than you  I do about The Vampire Diaries filming locations . She’s from Covington, Georiga, she’s been watching The Vampire Diaries filming since it began in 2009, and she knows the cast.

This means that taking this tour will leave you with insider knowledge and backstories you otherwise NEVER would have known. Oh, and her startup story is awesome too. She is overall just a ball of sunshine and adored by the cast and of course now me.

Mystic Falls Tours has access to the VERY private Lockwood Mansion estate where loads upon loads of scenes have been filmed. When you wing it you just get the creepy drive-by version. AND, you don’t get to meet George Lockwood, the infamous fabulous feline.

You may get to actually see (some of the former) cast of The Vampire Diaries while you’re there.

Now, I’m not guaranteeing anything, but let’s just say they are known to ham it up with fans when they are done, and being seen with Jess is never going to hurt the situation.

Mystic Falls Square in Covington, The Vampire Diaries filming locations

Here are some of The Vampire Diaries’ filming locations I was able to see on the Mystic Falls Tour.

Just so you know, there’s a pretty little photo gallery at the end of this article for you to explore. Back in the day before Google updated a million trillion times, I had these images embedded under each location. But, in order to optimize this post to its fullest potential, I had to make a gallery so, keep reading to check that out.

Many scenes are shot here. Bench scenes, town scenes, and more. As soon as you stand in The Square you feel like you’re in the show. It’s pretty cool.

Elena’s Father’s Doctor’s Office

The show has to remove the props because people tend to steal them. This one got to stay though! Pretty cool!

The Mystic Grill

Gah! The Mystic Grill like for really reals! So cool hearing about all the scenes filmed here. You can actually eat inside, however, keep in mind all the inside stuff is filmed at a soundstage. P.S. the food is UHMAZE!

Mystic Falls Courthouse

When you roll into Covington this hits you! Boom, you’re in Mystic Falls. This is really the icon of the exterior set of Mystic Falls.

The Damon and Elena Rain Kiss Scene

We all melted when we saw this one. Like c’mon, this is one of the most memorable scenes in the series!

Whitmore Campus

Movie magic turns this into Whitmore Campus. Pretty cool! This is actually a local park which is very peaceful and serene.

Where Bonnie Stops Matt’s Heart

In the current season, we all just saw how Bonnie used her witchy magic to stop Matt’s heart and barely start it again. Whew! That was here!

The Lockwood Mansion

Such an amazing estate. This historic real-life home is Tyler Lockwood’s home in Mystic Falls . Lots of cool parties and scenes shot here. You can’t miss George either. He’s the resident spotlight stealer. He loves attention, so expect him to come around when you’re there!

The Cemetery

Most of the cemetery scenes are done at the soundstage, but this has been used for scenes before.

And just for fun! The stars in town:

All around The Square, you will find pavers in the sidewalks. Among them are the pressings of Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore), Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore), Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert/Katherine), and the Worthington Manor (Lockwood Mansion).

Check out my gallery of Covington!

The Vampire Diaries filming locations, Mystic Grill

Now I know you’re stoked. If you’re like me you’re an uber-fan and you swear you have to make it to Mystic Falls or you’ll die. Please remember while we all love TVD, there are some things you just shouldn’t do.

As in… don’t be that person that ruins it for everyone. No one likes that person.

If you see talent (they are really cool and often will come by to say hello if they have time), please keep in mind these people work 12-16 hour days. They have a lot of responsibility to remember lines and get into the characters we all love.

Don’t be an ass. Use your best judgment.

Don’t ever steal anything from the set. Sure it’s a trophy but at what cost? This type of move will cause nothing but problems for the people who aren’t doing these things.

I’d love to visit these places. Vampire Diaries is one of my favorite shows.

What about the school? Do you know where it is?

I do believe that is a sound stage.

The high school,or Witmore? The witmore scenes were shot at Oxford. Not sure about the high school.

Witmore scenes were shot at Academy Springs Park https://www.facebook.com/pages/Academy-Springs-Park-Covington/530759740270818

The house in which Stefan stayed in Savannah Ga?

Do you mean the Salvatore Home?

I want to take my daughter to stay at the bed and breakfast for her birthday and do the tour. It’s September 2020, are all of these places still open? Is Covington still dedicated to honoring the show and fans? T. Sanderlin

I have never seen the show myself, but I know a lot of people that love the show! I am pretty sure this would be someone’s graceland.

OMG I love this so much. I never thought to visit the place where it’s filmed, but I LOVE this show and want to get down there someday!

Oh it’s so awesome! You totally should!

My niece loves the Vampire Diaries and I’m sure she would love to check these places out! What a cool place to go.

The cat is a big bonus! Honestly, I have never seen any of the Vampire Diaries.

Question. Does anyone know where the scenes of the water falls and quarry were shot? It reminds me of Tahlloula Falls but im not positive and I can’t find it online.

I think it was Tallulah but you might call the tour office and ask them.

I love TVD. It is one of my favorite shows. How coll that you visited where they film! Awesome!

We drive through Georgia on almost a yearly basis to Florida. I had no idea the show was filmed there. I just started watching this show on Netflix and cannot seem to get enough of it. I feel somewhat obsessive…I need to tone down a bit. haha I am bummed that Elena moves on to Damon. I really like her with Stephan. However, they are both actors gorgeous and very charismatic. 🙂

I love the Vampire Diaries. It would be so nice to visit all these places.

I haven’t gotten into the Vampire Diaries. I’ll have to see if I can find season 1 on netflix or hulu.

I never think about taking tours, this would be so much fun. Even if I didnt love the show, which I do, it looks like a good sight seeing place!

I’ve never watched that show but these places do look awesome to visit. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve only seen clips of the show before, but this is the kind of thing that excites me. I would love to see those places. We’re in NC so I think that’s not too far from here. Going to check it out.

What a fun tour! I loved watching the Vampire Diaries and its so fun to know that the Mystic Grill is a real place!!!

Jennifer Ashley http://www.prettylittledetails.ca

I’ve never watched this show but I would totally travel for a TWD tour. I love that shows and movies are filmed partly in real cities. It’s so cool to literally walk into your favorite shows and walk the same places as your favorite stars have. If shows were purely on a sound stage it wouldn’t make the show as real, I think.

Still jealous of your Walking Dead tour. ;( But I have never seen this show, even though I’m vampire obsessed. I would only stay in B&Bs in the South, for sure. Theyre always amazing.

What a fun tour. I know my oldest and his wife would love to do this one too!

This would be perfect for any fan of the show. Haven’t really watched it but if I were a fan, I would totally go on this tour!

Omg I just love Vanpire Diaries! How cool to see photos of all the places I’ve seen in the show!!!!! Soooo cool!!!!

Pingback: Stay Where the Vampire Diaries was Filmed

This is so cool! I am going to Covington in 2 weeks and I am super excited about it! Do you by any chance remember what cemetery you went to as well as what local park the kissing scene took place?

im from the UK and love love TVD… I am currently trying to get enough moolah together so I can visit site. Thanks for this info page. debz xx

You’re welcome!

Where was episode Cold As Ice filmed? I’m specifically wondering about the Santa Pub Crawl scene. Thanks!

I will ask Jessica at Vampire Stalkers and get back to you!

TVD Christmas episode where they did the pub crawl and there were all the Santa’s and Santa’s helpers was filmed in Stone Mountain. It is a very cute town we went there to try and see filming that day.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! TVD fans stick together! And PS I’m going to DIE over the debacle they are in now.

Thank you Michele! I appreciate your reply. How did you know this? I am curious to know where a fan can get this kind of information for future reference. 🙂

Where is the famous salvatore house?

Sadly it was demolished to build a car factory. Tears ensue.

Thank you! Yes, please ask her! She is the expert after all. 😉

What is better to catch filming weekends or weekdays? Do they film in March?

Weekdays and I believe yes they are back in March!

Are they filming the vampire diaries now in august

Thank you so much 🙂

Do you know where the waterfall is from S2 E20 and can it be visited?

Let me ask the guide this one!

Is there a list of the locations with address for people who come when tour isnt available or it isnt in the budget? Thanks

I don’t know that the tourism office has published anything like that, but one look around and many places stand out.

There is! Google vampire diaries locations in Covington GA and most will pop up on Google maps

Do you know where the Delena rain kiss scene filmed?

Yes it’s in the article actually. It’s where they film Whittmore. I drive by it all the time now that I live here! YAY!

Loved it! Do you know how long the tour takes? Like what time it starts and what time it ends? thanksss

You can get all that information on their site which is linked in the article 😉

Hello everyone, in 2014 i wanted to become a vampire from one man in UK and he collected my money, and he did not make me a Vampire. In 2015 someone directed me to a vampire lord in Bulgaria and this man make me a vampire. I will advice anyone who want to become a vampire should contact Wallace Graham via email: [email protected] the money who make a Vampire.Miss Jennet.

So I actually love in Georgia and have still never been on this tour (sad) but do they take you to the Salvatore mansion and are the plate things on the ground with their names on them in the town square of Covington?

The mansion hs sadly been torn down. I know. A freaking tragedy! They are building a Mercedes factory or something there… UGH! Yes there are inlaid stars in the square 😉

Are Elena coming back at the 8 season and are they filming the 8 season?

Not likely.

And in witch website do you look at TVD 😀

Pingback: Friday Night Bites The Vampire Diaries Season Finale Party

Pingback: Interview with Todd Lasance of The Vampire Diaries

Do you know during which months they will be filming? Thank you.

They are filming now but it will be short… not many episodes this season sadly 🙁

Can you tell me where I can find the location from the Rain Kiss Scene ?

It’s in the park in town. Very easy. I forget the name of the park tho but our town is small, you could roll up and ask anyone where the park is and they will tell you 😉

Academy Springs Park

I was wanting to know if you had addresses for the Damon/Elena rain kiss scene.

This is the final season, with not as many episodes to film. Do you think they will still be filming in September?

Maybe, it’s possible 😉

R they filming right now?

Hi!! i’m from Chile, and i’ll be in canada this fall term and it’ll be the closest i’ve ever been to Georgia!, so i’m planning on going on september… do you think maybe the will be filming there?, and do you know when is it more probably for me to run with someone of the cast??? on the weekend, during the week ? .. etc and the last question, how do I reach Covington? any bus service and from where can I take it?, i’ll be traveling from Detroit 🙂 i’m super excited!!

Okay well for one, the filming is very top secret. No one knows in advance when they are filming unless it will be on their property or disrupting business. This is for obvious reasons. They film both on the sound stage and on location… Second, there is not bus service to Covington and Canada is over a day’s drive from here. You would need to fly into Atlanta and rent a car. Covington is 30 minutes out of the city and 45 minutes from the airport. There is not public transport to Covington. It is a small town. I recommend you rent a car and take the tour.

I love when people say Covington is a small town.. Lol ive been by it several times and to it once and got lost in like 5 minutes of being there.. But i never made it into the town center, just the outskirts. Lol I live about an hour south East in a smaller city outside Augusta.

What’s the name of the park the delena kiss scene is at?

It’s in the comments below 😉

I am getting the amazing opportunity to go the Atlanta area for business and I plan to extend my trip to go on TVD set tour! It’s an hour drive- but totally worth it! Do you know if filming is going on the first week in October or is filming already over for the season? Thanks!!

I think they film through October… it’s hit or miss. But I can tell you when they are filming it’s very secure. They have had so many issues with vampire stalkers that they’ve had to block a lot of the actual town off. But much of their filming is done on a sound stage. They aren’t out there all the time you know. As in, I live here and I’ve yet to see them filming around town…

Hi there!!! We are planning a trip to Mystic Falls Covington GA in 2 days!!! I only live an hour away but just found out about 6 months ago where they filmed!! I can’t tell you how excited I am about this trip. I’ve been waiting for this trip for about 3months. All your information on this was so helpful as to what to do and not to do. Especially what to expect and not to expect thanks for all your information. Hopefully I will be able to give more information after my tour!!!!

That’s so awesome!!! I’m so excited for you, you’re going to flip out when you see Mystic Falls. Head over to Conyers too and check out where they film the Originals! Super rad! xox

But where is high school?

That was my question, too.

High school is a sound stage. In fact a lot of it is done on the sound stages where they have their studio in Decatur.

The school is real and you can visit. The football field is in Monroe, Ga. It looks the same as when they filmed there. Hope this helps.

Where did they film the scene in season one episode eleven where Elena and Damon stop on the side of the road in Georgia

I would have to ask Mystic Falls Tours about that one. Can you email me and I’ll add it my list of things to do this week!

Where is the scene where Damon and Elena first meet filmed ??

I’d have to ask my friends over at Mystic Falls Tours 😉

Are they still filming? Or has show wrapped up yet?

Yes they are still filming 😉

What is the best time or days to catch them filming & are they still filming now?

Can you visit the town without doing the tour?

Sure, most things are public but the tour does have exclusive access to the private location which is the Lockwood mansion.

Are they going to show the season finale in the square in covington?

I haven’t been home in weeks but I will find out!

Yup. This weekend. I’m going. There is an event page on Facebook

I love the vampire diaries i got my sister into liking it too we’re going on a road trip to Georgia to go on the tour we’re both super excited i don’t know what im going to do when the show ends

Me either!!!! 🙁

Coming from Richmond Virginia this weekend for the vampire diaries finale. Have taken a tour with Jessica before but she is all sold out this weekend. Looking to cram as many tvd filming locations into the weekend as possible. Have heard several shows have shot in and around Walton mills, starrsville plantation and gathier plantation, that willouby is really stone mountain, etc. Where are these locations? Are there coordinates I can put in the gps?

Look up film locations on google maps. I’ve heard that helps! And have SO MUCH FUN!

Do you know where Season 2 “Kill or be Killed” was filmed. The volunteer site. It looks beautiful

I sure don’t I am sorry.

This place looks like a place I live but I wanted to know for sure, no need to broadcast just curious of where the bar was?

Covington, Georgia at the Mystic Grill 🙂

Is Wickery Bridge a real location in or around Covington? That would be a pretty awesome place to see. Thank you for all of this info, can’t wait to “geek” out on the tour!

I do believe it’s at the park where they film the kiss scene, but I don’t believe that’s the name of the bridge.

It’s a soundstage. Sorry lol. You will find out so much on the tour. They know everything there is to know.

The High School is real. The football field is filmed in another location in Monroe, Ga. It still looks like it did when filming.

Do you know the address for the high school and is it also in Monroe or just the football field?

Do you know the address to the Gilbert lake house? My friend and I have been searching high and low for the address. It’s a gorgeous view!

the film “Vamper Diaries” was so epic, i felt so emotional in several scene. I really enjoyed it, i just wished it never ended because i miss it every day, but right now i am on “The Originals” looks so much like vampire diaries with some same characters of Vamper Diaries”.. i just wish i could travel and see mystic falls..

Do you know the name of the park the Delena kiss scene was filmed?Been twice to Covington and haven’t found it yet.Email me Please??!!

It’s called Academy Springs Park

I put my name wrong.Its Bradford

Can anyone tell me where the house is that Bonnie stops Matt’s heart??

It’s in a small neighborhood called Dorchester Place right off the square in Covington. It’s the second or third from the last on the cul de sac. You’ll know it when you see it. 😉

Someone else asked this as well, but where was the waterfall scene (season 2, episode 20) filmed?

Amacalola falls in dawsonville GA

Where is the swimming hole location filmed?

I just got into this show a few years ago and I totally love it. Its an epic story. Just watched the last episode, wish the last series had been longer (it didn’t have as many episodes as the earlier series’s) especially regarding the last plotline which seemed squashed into a couple of episodes especially after the other storyline took over the whole series. Sorry this sounds confusing I wanted to say this without spoilers, but I believe that people who watched it will get it. About places my totally favourite set over the whole series had to be the Salvatore Mansion, their furniture was totally gorgeous, it was like a character in itself. Does anyone know where it is and if it is in the tour (yes I know the interior had to be a stage). I really like how Caroline evolves over the course of the show, I didn’t really like her character in the first few episodes but she really grows into such an admirable person. The guys where totally gorgeous, Damon, Stefan, Alaric, Matt, Enzo, Tyler’s uncle. The girls grew into really great role models, who were strong intelligent women who stood by their friends through thick and thin. I didn’t think I’d like it cause I thought it would just be a teen show but this show is more directed at different ages ( I fit into the Alaric and Damon age group). So this show was great in that it had storylines across the age ranges. The thing is its not just about vampires, its an epic love story and its about loyalty, bravery and friendship in adversity. And it is the camaraderie between the characters that make it stand the test of time. Not all the storylines were as enjoyable as others, i know there were times I felt like shouting at the screen, there were a couple of times characters and laughed with them too. There aren’t many shows like that today that you can suspend your disbelief and get so immersed in the story that you feel the emotions alongside the characters. Thank you vampire diaries. I am sorry the show is over but since it is still on Netflix at the moment I am sure I will step inside their world again for a little while. And its nice to share with other fans.

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments. If ever you want to share more of your thoughts on the UK feel free to send me an email! I’m always looking for a good story to publish 😉

I was wondering about the Salvatore Mansion too and came across this article https://www.priceypads.com/salvatore-boarding-house-aka-glenridge-hall-torn-down-photos/# how sad I couldn’t believe it, the mansion was truly gorgeous and such a shame that it was demolished.

Yeah…. they tore it down 🙁

The most awesome part for me is watching the show and seeing the town I grew up in. Planning to stop at the Mystic Grill on my next visit there

Hi just wondering is the cemetery a real place? And the forest scenes? Or is that on set ? I would love to take my daughter and do the tour. We are coming from Sydney Australia.

There is only one real cemetery scene, the one with the bird during the day. The rest are soundstage. Not entirely sure about the forest, I know a few of the later ones maybe.

Do you know which cemetery it is? I have googled cemetery’s in Covington and there are a couple?

The Cemetary was a soundstage, but there is one that they used for just one scene… it’s right in the middle of downtown Covington behind the white church.

Ahh I have to go here sometime is the salvatore house here or is it just a random house? has anyone ever been to the originals set, Coming from UK

Covington, Georgia is actually what got me into watching TVD. I came here once, a couple of years ago, when we were visiting my aunt, who works in a shop on the square. I had no idea that Covington was where TVD was filmed, and I was pretty confused once we parked and I saw groups of people walking around with t-shirts that said stuff like, “Damon’s wife”. So I guess thats the story of how I came to the set of TVD by accident lol

Yeah, it’s a pretty cool spot.

What’s the address for where Bonnie stops Matt’s heart?

It’s in the Dorchester neighborhood next to the park. But it’s a private residence.

4145 Dorchester Dr SE, Covington, GA 30014

I live in the North Georgia Mountains (Hiawassee, GA) and just finished watching s2e20 where Stefan takes Elena to the top of a mountain. What location did they film the scene where they get to the top and the view is so beautiful?

I think it is Amacalola Falls.

Hello! Do you know where the motel from Heart of Darkness is? I would like to stay there when visiting.

I don’t. But I bet you could call Mystic Falls Tours and they would know.

Very cool!!! I didn’t read any of the comments yet so it’s possible this has already been asked and answered, but did you ever see Elena Gilberts home? When watching the show you can totally see the clock tower from her home/street in the background… that home looks to be in Covington? I live in California and I’m a huge fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.. In 2015 I went to “Sunnydale” aka Torrance, and found “Buffy’s home”.. I walked down her street just like she would in the show…. I geeked out in front of the house lol.. took pics and some vids.. and then I went to “Sunnydale High”… which is literally walking distance from “Buffy’s house”… again, just like in the show.. geeked out there too and took pics!! It was so surreal and a very amazing experience!!

I do believe her home was a soundstage. But I could be wrong. There are a lot of locations in Covington though, more than I can even list.

Elena’s house is a real home that I know they used for exterior shots but I think all of the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage.

I feel like I know the answer to this! Gah! I need to visit and dig in a little. I’ll come back here and comment when I find out 😉

Do you know if they will book a tour by walking up or is it required to book online. I looked online last night and there were 28 spots left then went to book for tomorrow and now it is saying they are booked. My luck!

You have to call them, sorry!

Do you know if the cemetery where they spend most of their time is real? Do you know where the high school is?

Both sound stages. Sorry!

I’m rewatching Vampire Diaries for the fourth time, lol. In Season 2 Episode 5 The Historical Society Volunteer Day scene next to a stream, do you happen to know what location it was filmed? Thanks in advance!

Where is the cabin that is in season 5 episode 20? its gorgeous I just wondered if it really exists

Do you have a list of locations and their addresses? We really want to do the tour but do not have the three hours they say it will take.

I’m sorry I don’t.

Im trying to find where the location of the bar that Enzo has stephan and elena tied up and questioning them about the death of his love maggie. The one on “campus” where the blonde witch works (i forget her name) right before stephan kills enzo. Do you know where it is? Season 5 episode 19

I do believe that it was a soundstage if it was not at the Mystic Grill.

Any recommendations for a self guided tour? We are down but don’t have the time for the actual tour

Did anyone else start crying when they read the title? ‘Cause your girl right here did!

Does anyone know where Stevens Quarry was filmed? It’s where Silas dumped Stefan and where they killed Cade.

Currently rewatching TVD and falling for Stefan all over again. I just watched S2E14, does anyone know where the Gilbert family lake house location is? Living in East TN it made me think of the lake cabins we have here.

You should def call Jessica at Vampire Stalkers in my article. She is all knowing. 😉

Do you know the address for the Parker house. My friend and I want to go there and I can’t find the address to that house.

I am going to covington and was trying to book the tour but I guess I was to late and all the spots have been taken. so I was trying to write an itinerary for my friends and I that love the vampire diaries. what are some of the best spots to visit? We would love to do the tour but we will have to wing it this time.

Do you have to have a reservation or can you just show up?

You need to get tickets for the tour. Link in post!

This is amazing,so informative

The Vampire Diaries: A Guide to Filming Locations

Diksha Sundriyal of The Vampire Diaries: A Guide to Filming Locations

One of the most popular teen dramas of all time is ‘ The Vampire Diaries ’. Based on the book series of the same name by L.J Smith, it follows the story of a young girl named Elena Gilbert who falls in love with a boy, Stefan Salvatore, who turns out to be a century-old vampire. Their story takes many twists and turns as Stefan’s brother, Damon, comes into the picture, and other vampires, werewolves and witches also become a part of the story.

While the story has enough hold of its own to keep the audience hooked to it, the setting too plays an important role. Mystic Falls becomes one of the central characters of the story. If you’ve been thinking about how this town was brought to life, here is the answer. Here are all the locations where ‘ The Vampire Diaries ’ was filmed.

The Vampire Diaries Filming Locations

The town of Mystic Falls has the charm and the historic background that, understandably, attracts the supernatural towards it. In reality, if such a town existed, we would understand why centuries-old vampires who are still teenagers would want to move there! Capturing this element was very important while telling the story of ‘The Vampire Diaries’, and luckily, the crew found it in a real town located in Georgia.

Covington serves as the primary filming location for the show and a number of real places in the town frequently feature in the series. The series also turned towards Conyers and Oxford for several scenes throughout the entire series. But Covington is the one to head for if you really want to get the Mystic Falls vibe.

Covington, Georgia

The town square of Mystic Falls is the Covington Square . This place is known to the fans as the site of the bench scenes where a number of important conversations between the characters take place. Right next to it is the famous Clock Tower , which is a common hangout point for the vampires who want to have a little heart-to-heart, or recently turned humans who want to kill themselves!

A lot of action also takes place at the Mystic Grill. This is where Matt works, and while initially, it is just a hangout point, it becomes an important location as the seasons pass by. There is an actual Mystic Grill in Covington , which was used to film the exterior shots for the show. The scenes in the interior, however, were filmed at a soundstage. The cemetery is another vital location, especially when so many people die in the show. This, too, is a very real location in the town.

While Mystic Falls is a big place and the action takes the characters everywhere, they also spend a considerable amount of time at their homes, which again, leads to some very important moments in their stories. If you want to visit the Gilbert residence, it is at 2104 Floyd St. NE . Elena burnt it down after Jeremy’s death, but thankfully, the structure still stands in real life. Caroline’s house is at 2118 Floyd St NE and Grams’ house is at 2136 Conyers Street SE .

One of the, if not the, most important places in the series is the Salvatore House. It is, hands down, the most beautiful house of all. The filming for the scenes regarding the Salvatore House took place in the Glenridge Hall Mansion in Sandy Springs. From the second season, it was filmed at a place created as an exact replica of the building. The original was demolished in 2015.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Julie Plec (@julieplec)

Another person to have a magnificent house is Tyler Lockwood. The Lockwood Mansion is located at 2111 Anderson Ave., and is called the Worthington Manor . Because it is a private residence, it is not as accessible as other sites. Another beautiful place that features in the series is the Twelve Oaks Bed & Breakfast . A number of scenes, especially the ones that take place in the flashbacks where Damon and Stefan are still humans and they romance Katherine, have been filmed here.

In season five, Elena and her friends move to Whitmore College after graduating from school. In reality, this is the Oxford College of Emory University located in Oxford, George. You can also visit the Whitmore College Frat House, which isn’t actually a frat house, at 1008 N. Emory St.

Salvatore Boarding House

  • View history

The Salvatore Boarding House was built in 1914 and is the former home to members of the Salvatore Family and the Gilbert Family before being a school. Damon Salvatore , Stefan Salvatore , Caroline Forbes , and, briefly, Jeremy Gilbert , until he moved into the Lockwood Mansion , were the main residents. The Boarding House is said to be one of the creepiest places in Mystic Falls . In 2019 , the house was donated to Caroline Forbes , by Damon Salvatore , in honor and memoriam of Stefan.

Over the years, the house was used as a place where visitors could stay, though this changed when Stefan and Damon returned to Mystic Falls. Elena's Coffin used to be located there.

After Stefan's death to stop Katherine from destroying Mystic Falls, Caroline and Alaric chose to reopen the Boarding House as the " Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted ", a school for untrained witches , werewolves , vampires and any person who had been adversely hit by the supernatural.

Remember the Salvatore Boarding House From 'Vampire Diaries'? Here's Why It Was Torn Down

Pretty Honore - Author

Feb. 26 2021, Published 11:02 p.m. ET

Stefan and Damon created a lot of memories in the Salvatore Boarding House , some good and some not so good. In Stefan's memory, the house ended up in Caroline's care, who joined Alaric in turning it into the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted.

Although fans can visit this school each week on the spinoff series, Legacies , what happened to the Salvatore Boarding House in real life?

What happened to the Salvatore Boarding House?

Despite a long list of passionate petitioners, the house formerly known as the Salvatore Boarding House was torn down in 2015. The 14,000 square foot mansion, also known as Glenridge Hall, was initially built in 1929 for Thomas K. Glenn and was later renovated by his granddaughter, Frances Mayson, and her husband Joseph. 

After Frances tragically died during childbirth, Joseph continued with the home restoration as a tribute to his late wife. He told Reporter Newspapers in 2007, “I was able to learn in seven years exactly what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it, so that when she died it was never a question of whether or not I would continue.”

Some photos of the real Salvatore Boarding School (Glenridge Hall). we are obsessed with this beauty!!! #Legacies @cwlegacies pic.twitter.com/mWKhfBFTZu — Legacies VDU (@LegaciesVDU) October 10, 2018

“It was my late wife’s intention that the house serve the community and not just be a home, but also be an asset to the community,” Joseph continued. “I would like to know that if one came back here in 100 years it would look pretty much the same.”

Sadly, Joseph’s wishes for his wife’s home were not honored as the house was later demolished by his daughter, Caroline, who ultimately sold the 76-acre estate to a homebuilding company. While what was the Salvatore Boarding House has now been converted into a combination of homes and retail spaces, it didn’t affect the production of The Vampire Diaries one bit.

Showrunners used stock footage and set replicas to film footage of the Salvatores' home.

Much like other elements of The Vampire Diaries universe, footage of the Salvatore home isn’t exactly as it seems. In previous seasons of TVD , showrunners have actually primarily used recycled footage of the front of the Tudor manor, while creating set replicas when needed.

Starting in the second season, the Salvatores' house was filmed at a place that was an exact replica of Glenridge Hall. By the time that Glenridge was demolished, the crew had long since abandoned using the home.

Today, the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted is actually in another location entirely. If you've been watching Legacies and wondering why the house looks so different, it's because it's not Glenridge Hall at all but Kent Rock Manor in Loganville, Ga., which was actually also once featured on MTV's Teen Cribs . Today, in addition to being the Salvatore Boarding School, the manor is also an event venue.

Take a Tour of The Salvatore House

“What does Damon’s bedroom (and shower) look like up close? What’s really in all of those bottles of whiskey?”

I was really surprised to see what Damon’s bedroom and shower look like actually; and! not that surprised to see that the whiskey bottles don’t have whiskey in them. I’m re-watching all the episodes to get fully caught up, and I gotta say, I am incredibly aware of all the underage drinking. 

It would be disturbing if it wasn’t for the more disturbing romance between Stefan and Elena: “I killed a huge list of people when I was a ripper and did horrific, twisted, serial killer shit to their dead bodies…” “Oh, Stefan, I’ll always love you, no matter how many hundreds of innocent people you murdered. They were probably jerks anyway… *smoochies*” –I love the show, don’t get me wrong, but do you ever think they might have made Stefan a little too dark?

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
