Bruges
Film: In Bruges
In Bruges is a 2008 British-American crime-black comedy film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. The film stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two Irish hitmen in hiding, with Ralph Fiennes as their gangster boss. The film takes place—and was filmed—in the Belgian city of Bruges.

For me, the most memorable scene happens at the bell tower "The belfry of Bruges", and if you have seen the film, you probably would agree with me. If you haven't seen it... well, go see it, I won't give spoilers here!
Görlitz
Film: The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy film directed by Wes Anderson. Do not be fooled by its name - it has nothing to do with Budapest; rather, most of the film was shot in Görlitz, a German town at the border of Germany, Poland and Czech Republic.
One of the principal locations was the defunct Görlitzer Warenhaus, a huge Jugendstil department store with a giant atrium, one of the few such department stores in Germany to survive World War II. It served as the atrium lobby of the hotel. (source: Wikipedia)
