These are my favorite eight Locations from the Assassin's Creed series
Translate
It's no secret I'm a massive fan of ancient godlike humanoids, and, of course, all of those exotic historical locations! It has almost everything I love in a game. From the cobblestone streets of Florence to the grandeur of Rome's ancient ruins, Assassin's Creed allows you to step into the footsteps of iconic characters like Ezio Auditore and experience the rich tapestry of history, culture, and intrigue that have made the series the iconic franchise we see today.
With the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage, we get another exciting historical location to immerse ourselves in and over the years, Assassin's Creed has inspired many locations that have sparked both my intellectual curiosity and my love of travel! Whether you're a fan of the games or simply interested in history and adventure, these destinations are sure to leave a lasting impression. Here are my top eight favorite destinations from the series.
1. Rome, Italy: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
One of my dreams is to roam through the ancient ruins of Rome, just as Ezio did in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the architectural marvels scattered across the city are a testament to Rome's rich history. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is easily one of my favorites in the series, allowing me to relive the grandeur and intrigue of the Eternal City.
2. Jerusalem: Assassin's Creed
The vibrant city of Jerusalem serves as the backdrop for the first Assassin's Creed. While the in-game representation is somewhat stylized, the real Jerusalem still captivates with its historical significance. Visit the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock to experience the ancient beauty of this city
3. Athens, Greece: Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Few cities on Earth can rival Athens when it comes to the sheer weight of history and culture. Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes us on a journey to the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and some of the world's most enduring myths and legends, and it stands out as one of my favorite Assassin's Creed games.
4. Paris, : Assassin's Creed Unity
The city of lights needs no introduction, and Assassin's Creed Unity transports players to the 18th-century French Revolution. Paris boasts iconic landmarks such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles and brings to life the turbulent historical period. Interesting aside, Unbisoft even donated €500,000 in 2019 to help the restoration effort of Notre Dame after a fire. Paris is a place of romance, art, fashion, and culinary delights, and it’s definitely one of my favorite locations from the series.
5. Alexandria, Egypt: Assassin's Creed Origins
While the game's version of Alexandria is fictionalized, the real city is steeped in history and culture. The Qaitbay Citadel, Pompey's Pillar, and the Mediterranean ambiance all connect to the game's setting. I was lucky enough to explore the city myself, and part of me wanted to take a leap of faith right off the top of the citadel!
6. London, England: Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Assassin's Creed Syndicate takes you into Victorian-era London, where you can explore famous locations such as the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. London is a city over a thousand years old and deserves its spot on this list.
7. Baghdad, Iraq (Abbasid Caliphate): Assassin's Creed Mirage
ittedly, Baghdad is one of those places I never imagined traveling to or really even thought about outside of the many news reports we all saw back in 2003, and this is why Assassin's Creed Mirage is so awesome! It depicts the history and cultural significance of Baghdad during the Abbasid Empire and opened my eyes to a land that's often portrayed as hostile. It was great learning about the culture of ancient Baghdad and immersing myself in something entirely outside my frame of reference.
8. Havana, Cuba: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
The colorful colonial architecture of Havana and its historic charm provide a taste of the Caribbean allure featured in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The real Havana offers a vibrant cultural experience, beautiful beaches, music, and dance and is well worth the visit, even if it's no longer full of swashbuckling action!
