Was People We Meet on Vacation filmed on location or on sets?
Both. Many outdoor scenes in New Orleans and Spain were filmed on location, while select interiors, including Poppy’s New York apartment, were built on soundstages in Barcelona.
Why did the filmmakers change some locations from the book?
Condensing filming into fewer regions made production more practical while still preserving the emotional tone of each trip. Author Emily Henry approved the changes, focusing on capturing the spirit of the story rather than exact geography.
