The eighth installment of the Fast & Furious saga continues the tradition of traveling to exotic locations. F8 also comes packed with a collection of celebrities including Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham, and Kurt Russell.

The Fate of the Furious was filmed in Cuba, Iceland, and in United States. This is one of the first big Hollywood productions to shot in the revolutionary Caribbean island, thanks to the fact that the embargo was partially lifted.

Welcome to our spoiler-free guide to all The Fate of the Furious filming locations that you can visit in real life.

Following these links you can also find the locations of the 2019 F&F franchise film Hobbs and Shaw in Samoa and all the places where the new Fast X movie was filmed.

In Cuba, The Fast and the Furious 8 was filmed right in the heart of Havana. The race started in Simón Bolívar Street, in a corner of El Curita Park.

Fast 8 is one of the first North American productions to film again the Caribbean island, since the start of the Cuban Revolution in 1953.

Also, in 2016, the Netflix series The OA filmed an episode in La Havana.

The car chase passed by the iconic Capitolio and continued through several central avenues, including the legendary Malecón located parallel to the sea.

In Iceland, the frozen waters of Lake Mývatn served as the setting for a spectacular car (and submarine) chase scene. This section of the movie is set in the Russian Arctic.

The film crew swept clean a very large portion of the lake for the shoot.

In winter, the region where Lake Mývatn is located is considered one of the best places to watch the spectacular Northern Lights in Iceland.
