In the 2002 remake of The Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) finds himself sleeping on a cold park bench in Prague (claimed to be “Zürich”). Or rather, two police officers find him and wish they hadn’t. Today the bench has been replaced and moved a bit, but the location in Kampa park next to the river is still recognizable.

Next stop is to get more information. Bourne gives instructions to Marie outside the Hotel Regina, where the golden statue of Jeanne d’Arc is visible in the background.
