All the Fabulous Filming Locations for Clayton’s Season of ‘The Bachelor’

The Bachelor is back on the road! After several seasons spent trapped at various fancy resorts around the country due to the ongoing pandemic, Clayton Echard’s season is the first to travel internationally in a while—and naturally, ABC went all out with a bunch of truly romantic destinations. Obviously, we need to immediately know which cities The Bachelor hit up for FOMO purposes—and thanks to next-level sleuthing + spoilers from Reality Steve, we know exactly where Clayton and his group of several dozen girlfriends went while filming season 26.

Time to live vicariously through them while we sit on the couch and steal our ex-boyfriend’s mom’s sister’s cousin’s cable log-in again.

Note: This article features mild spoiler photos from Bachelor dates on location! But don’t worry, Clayton’s winner and final four are *not* spoiled within.

Episodes 1–3: Bachelor Mansion

As you know, when The Bachelor hit airwaves again on January 3, it finally brought back filming in the hallowed halls of Bachelor Mansion! Oh, how we’ve missed that inexplicably damp driveway! But don’t get too comfy because Clayton & co. were only at the mansion through episode 3...

Episode 4: Houston/Galveston, Texas

The top 15 women joined Clayton in Texas during last week’s episode, and one date took place at Galveston Pleasure Pier. Please enjoy these photos of Clayton wandering around with a giant stuffed bear.

Episode 5: Toronto, Canada

Last week, fans traveled with Clayton and his top 12 women to Toronto, and honestly, I still don’t know what to think about *not* seeing Clayton douse himself shirtless in maple syrup—just feels like a missed opportunity, ya know? Anyway, some brave hero snapped a pic of Clayton’s contestants heading to Toronto on a plane, so enjoy that.

And here’s a pic of Clayton on his two-on-one date with Genevieve Parisi and Shanae Ankey:

Once this wrapped, everyone headed to...

Episode 6: Hvar, Croatia

The ladies and Clayton switched things up and head to Croatia, which is obviously beautiful.

Episode 7: Vienna, Austria

Clayton and his final seven then went to Vienna, and Serene Russell got a date in a casual castle:

Episode 8: Hometowns

We're finally approaching hometowns! Expect to see Clayton go on dates in Virginia Beach, Orlando, Oklahoma City, and Denver. Here's more on Clayton's final four ICYMI:

Episode 9: Iceland

There's not a lot of info about Clayton’s last dates of the season, but we do know that they take place in Iceland, which is absolutely gorgeous and should make for a truly romantic proposal setting.

And speaking of proposals, yep, we know Clayton found love! He straight-up told Good Morning America, “I did find love. I was a little skeptical going into the whole journey, but I’m so pleasantly surprised that things worked out much different than I thought. Again, I’m just so excited to watch it back and have everyone else watch it as well.”

He also added, “I was looking for somebody that was funny, intelligent, driven, put forth effort, and so I figured, ‘Okay, that’s a good list and hopefully I’ll find that. Well, what I found was very quickly the women blew my expectations out of the water. They brought all of that and so much more, so the expectations continued to rise, and I realized that, ultimately, I was going to find everything that I wanted and so much more.”

Can’t wait to watch this all go down.
