Prime Video’s“Ride or Die”is the action-comedy everyone’s streaming, and it turns out the real star is Prague. The series, featuring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham as best friends caught in an international conspiracy, was almost entirely filmed in the Czech capital over six months. Production designers transformed the city’s landmarks, from Rohanské nábřeží to Mariánské náměstí and the Hanavský Pavilion, into convincing stand-ins for France and Spain. If you’re a fan, that means you can literally walk in the footsteps of the characters, turning your next vacation into a real-life spy adventure.
Prague’s diverse architecture makes it a chameleon for filmmakers, and the crew behind“Ride or Die”took full advantage. Chase sequences unfold along the riverside at Rohanské nábřeží, while the historic charm of Mariánské náměstí sets the stage for quieter moments. For the best view in the city, fans can head to the Hanavský Pavilion, a classic spot that offers a perfect backdrop for your own dramatic photo shoot. The show’s lead actress even praised the production designers for making the cast feel like they were hopping between multiple countries without ever leaving Prague.
All eight episodes of season one are currently streaming on Prime Video, so you can binge the series, note your favorite scenes, and plan your itinerary. Prague is also budget-friendly compared to Western European capitals, making it an ideal pick for young travelers. So, grab your friends, channel your inner spy, and start mapping out your own“Ride or Die”tour. Have you already watched the show? Which filming location would be at the top of your list?
