The ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal serve as Rebel base Yavin 4 in “A New Hope.” In lieu of watching the Millennium Falcon land, climb to the Rebel soldier’s vantage point on Temple IV. From there, enjoy the familiar view of Temples I, II, and III.

You don’t have to book passage on a starship to visit Padmé Amidala’s home planet of Naboo; you just need to buy a plane ticket to picturesque Lake Como. It’s here that Anakin Skywalker and Padmé share their first kiss and eventually marry in a secret ceremony. Many of the locations are private – Villa del Balbianello is a real-life wedding venue – but you can tour with a guide who was present during filming of “Attack of the Clones.”

The Palace of Caserta in Southern Italy, once home to the Bourbon kings of Naples, doubles as the Naboo Royal Palace in “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones.” You can tour the historical apartments and gardens for €12 ($13-$14).

You can find some of Tatooine a little closer to home than the North African desert. Several of the dusty landscapes were filmed in Death Valley National Park. The sand dunes just past Stovepipe Wells are the ones R2-D2 crosses after parting ways with C-3PO in “A New Hope,” and he eventually enters a small canyon at Artist's Palette. In “Return of the Jedi,” the droids make their way to Jabba the Hutt’s palace on the park’s one-way, dirt road through Twenty Mule Team Canyon.

The world’s tallest trees became the Forest Moon of Endor in “Return of the Jedi.” Although there’s some debate on the exact locations where scenes were filmed within Redwood National and State Parks (or if they were actually filmed on park land at all), you’ll recognize the landscape. It isn’t hard to image an Ewok rustling in the underbrush or a speeder bike dodging mammoth tree trunks here.

This mystical place of ancient trees, moss-covered rocks, secret caves, and eerie maze of paths and passages appears in “The Force Awakens.” If it looks familiar, it’s because you’ve probably seen it on screen before. Puzzlewood has appeared in “Dr. Who,” the movie “Jack the Giant Slayer,” and several BBC programs, including “Merlin.”

One of the largest glaciers in Norway, Hardangerjokulen doubles as the ice planet Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back.” Scenes were shot about four miles from Finse 1222 Hotel, where crew stayed during filming.
 
 

The city facing the Adriatic Sea serves as the backdrop of Canto Bight, the casino city seen in "The Last Jedi." It's here where Finn, Rose, and BB-8 try to locate a master codebreaker who can disable the First Order’s hyperspace tracker weapon.

Fans first got a glimpse of the crag at the very end of "The Force Awakens" when Rey goes off to find the recluse Luke Skywalker. The destination played a major role as the island of Ahch-To in "The Last Jedi," serving as the training ground for Rey and the legendary Jedi Master. To visit, you must book a tour (departures are for between May and October) – just note that the 150-minute experience doesn't actually take guests to the island, but around the main island and its smaller surrounding ones.
