Build the trip around a real region

For the first film, a Portland-area base gives you access to Carver and St. Helens, with separate outings to Silver Falls, the Columbia River Gorge, Vernonia and the coast. Choose the scenes that matter most before joining distant stops into a single driving day. A cafe meal, forest walk and beach visit need different amounts of time, footwear and weather flexibility.

New Moon adds a straightforward public-street exterior in New Westminster and a walkable Tuscan cluster in Montepulciano. Mount Seymour offers an Eclipse landscape stop, best planned around mountain conditions rather than scene-matching alone. The checklist uses the real region first, then the film connection, to keep these journeys manageable.

Choose Forks, filming locations or both

Forks is the saga's literary home and a rewarding destination for its fan collection, props and community events. Oregon supplies many recognizable first-film locations, while Montepulciano plays Volterra in New Moon. Choosing between these experiences is a useful first decision: screen architecture, a literary pilgrimage and a costume collection offer different kinds of visit. Forks visitor information↗

Check the famous stops with restricted access

The Carver woodland near Stone Cliff Inn is closed to Twilight sightseeing under the climbing club's current rules. A restaurant reservation or climbing membership is not a sightseeing workaround. Choose Carver Cafe or a public park for your film-focused stop instead. Carver property rules↗

The John Yeon Center currently states that public tours of The Shire are temporarily suspended for maintenance and restoration. Educational exceptions are not general fan admission. Multnomah Falls offers a public landscape visit, but it is not the baseball field. The Shire tour notice↗

Breaking Dawn also used working production facilities: Film Baton Rouge confirms Celtic Studios for both parts. That production history does not establish a public tour, so the studio is context rather than a visit task. Private houses, schools and unconfirmed beach or reshoot pins are likewise left out of this curated catalogue. Film Baton Rouge production record↗

For another screen-inspired journey, explore Stranger Things filming locations or the Outlander filming locations.

Who it's for

For Twilight fans deciding between an Oregon road trip, British Columbia outdoor stops, New Moon locations in Tuscany or a Forks fan visit. The catalogue suits friends comparing places they have seen and travelers choosing a few memorable stops. It covers selected saga locations, with the strongest visitor-ready cluster from the first film, rather than promising every address from all five movies.

How to use

Browse the Country, Region, On screen, Type and Access fields. Use Type to distinguish actual filming locations from the Forks fan collection. Filters affect browsing only.
Choose Start tracking to save the whole catalogue. It saves every location, not only the ones currently visible through filters. Mark the places you visit and keep the rest for a later journey.
Read each location's notes before travel, then verify access with the linked official visitor source. Book accommodation or admission separately when needed.
Use Save & Compare for a group to compare visit progress. Agree whether a public exterior view, a trail visit or a booked interior counts for each stop.

Twilight Filming Locations Frequently Asked Questions

Was Twilight filmed in Forks?

Forks is the story's home and a destination for Twilight fandom, including a collection of costumes and props. Many first-film places visitors recognize on screen are in Oregon, such as St. Helens and Silver Falls. Use the Type field to separate filming sites from the Forks collection. Forks collection and tourism information↗

Should I visit Volterra or Montepulciano for New Moon?

Choose Montepulciano to see the square and buildings used on screen. Volterra is the story setting. The Piazza Grande fountain was made for filming, so plan to recognize the architecture rather than find a permanent fountain. Visit Tuscany filming account↗

Can I visit the Twilight baseball field?

The Shire, the field location, has a current notice suspending public tours for maintenance and restoration. Check the John Yeon Center before making plans. Visiting Multnomah Falls is a separate landscape outing and does not grant access across the river. Official Shire tour notice↗

Can I walk to the forest scenes near Stone Cliff Inn?

The Carver Climbing Club's property rules explicitly prohibit Twilight sightseeing, hiking and nature walks. Dining at the restaurant does not override those restrictions. Choose a managed public filming landscape such as Silver Falls instead. Current Carver rules↗

Can I go inside Bella's house?

The first film's Swan House in St. Helens is offered as accommodation. Interior access depends on an authorized booking or an explicit owner invitation; a photo visit does not give permission to enter its grounds. Travel Oregon visitor context↗

Is one weekend enough for all these locations?

Choose one region for a short trip. Oregon, British Columbia, Tuscany and the Olympic Peninsula are separate travel legs. Even within Oregon, coast, Gorge and forest outings work better when you allow for weather, daylight and the places you actually want to linger.
