The film opens with a high-speed chase along Prague's Náplavka.

Some of the tunnels seem to be in the Old Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bubeneč, which has been in many films shot in Prague. The vampire stronghold is Hluboká Castle in South Moravia.

For example, shooting in Prague took place at the Main Train Station; on Španělská, Vinohradská, Ke Hradu, and Nerudova streets; and on the Prague boardwalk; shoots in České Budějovice took place at the chateau of Hluboká, and in Kutná Hora at St. Barbara’s Cathedral - details from czechtourism.com + Filming primarily took place on sets constructed at Barrandov, but Hluboká Chateau served as the vampire’s castle, and the Žižkov railway station was home to the werewolves - from praguereporter.com
