Filming Locations Guide: Where was Carnival Row filmed?

The dark fantasy world of Carnival Row is an original story created by René Echevarria and Travis Beacham. The Fae are mythical creatures who have fled their homeland, invaded by the human empire of The Pact. Carnival Row is actually the name of a neighborhood and a sort of ghetto in The Burgue (rivals of The Pact), where many Fae (all the non-human folks) have found refuge.

The eight-episode series, which has been renewed for a second season, co-stars Orlando Bloom as inspector Rycroft Philostrate and Cara Delevingne as fae Vignette Stonemoss. The main cast is completed by Tamzin Merchant playing Imogen Spurnrose and David Gyasi performing the wealthy faun Agreus Astrayon. Most of Carnival Row was filmed at the Barrandov Studios in Prague, and some additional filming locations were also shot in the Czech Republic. It contains no spoilers!

The Burgue is a steampunk neo-Victorian metropolis, located in the north of Mesogeo continent. Prague is the obvious inspiration of the capital city of the Republic. These images are taken from the top of the old town tower, with the world famous Charles Bridge and the castle of Prague skyline.

Obviously there's a lot of CGI in the series, but this expensive production also built streets and many interiors (including the Tetterby hotel and the Constabulary) in large and detailed sets in the Barrandov Studios backlot.
