Even as various characters struggle, we can see prominent Boston institutions in the background \u2013 that Boston is still recognizable distinguishes the city from some of the others called out during the show.  \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Massachusetts State House, where the characters arrive in search of a new solution; Boston Common, an iconic park; and the MBTA \u2013 the Boston transit network \u2013 are among the most immediately familiar locations. However, both the game and the series feature numerous  structures that do not have real-life counterparts. Some of the giant skyscrapers and museums, included for general atmosphere, are good examples of this. However, the series reflects the ambiance of the American city effectively and certainly activates a desire to explore, despite its dystopian depiction! \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Last of Us film locations Filmed in Canada and the United States, The Last of Us locations cover a wide swath of both countries.
