Oscars alert: Check out these trips inspired by blockbusters

Still caught up in the glamour and excitement of the Oscars?

We are.

In fact, we’ve set up a mini red carpet in the office for our office dog to prance across.

If you’re like us, then you might like this list of Set-Jetting trips Trafalgar has put together where you can go check out the locations of the latest blockbusters.

The trips give travellers the opportunity to explore the sets of all the films that stared in this year’s awards season.

I, Tonya – Portland Oregan

Travellers will cover the top spots of the East Coast, where the political dramas of the Washington Post and New York Times unfolded on Trafalgar’s Great East Coast Cities.

This leisurely jaunt through the hearth and home of sophisticated socialites and the American establishment journeys across East Coast and traces the footsteps of Kay Graham and Ben Bradlee, from the halls of Washington to the bright lights of New York, Newport’s opulence and the beer brewing traditions of Boston.
