Akvarium restaurant in Prague in "Mission Impossible"
 
Does anyone know where the "Akvarium" restaurant seen in Mission Impossible is??
It is not in Prague, London perhaps?

It's not a real place, it's a set built for the movie.

Can anyone confirm or deny what Christina has written?

:-?

oh ye of little faith .... I try not to say things so specific without the facts, but did you think they would blow up a real restaurant? It was a set built at Pinewood Studios outside London. If you want to read about it, here is a film web site that describes some production aspects of the film -- go to the "stunts" section about 2/3 down for mention of this set

I think I will go rent that movie as I like Tom Cruise and Prague, even though not action films so much.

They are correct - it does not exist. Sorry to let you down!

But Prague definitely does and has been the scene of countless "exteriors" for movies such as Amadeus, The Bourne Identity, and so forth. And undoubtedly worth a visit in the future.
