From grand cities to remote wilderness, these venues offer a peak behind the scenes of the games' creation and a glimpse into the hitting world's inspiration. So, grab your silencer and let's embark on this globetrotting journey.
Villes: A Playground for Assassins
One of Hitman's recurring features is its gusto for the world's most glamorous cities, serving as both playgrounds and hunting grounds for Agent 47. Let's explore a couple of these fascinating urban jungles.

Climbing and navigating through these towering metal structures requires a certain level of agility and a strict adherence to safety guidelines—unlike Agent 47's laissez-faire attitude. But imagine the thrill of scaling these modern giants, with the city sprawling at your feet.
Sky-high chases aren't reserved for movies alone. Remember to keep your hands and feet inside the elevator at all times—unlike a certain bald-headed assassin who had other plans.
Marketplace Carnage
Ducking and weaving through packed markets, avoiding both security forces and unassuming civilians, is a tried-and-true gaming trope. Hong Kong's bustling markets, with their labyrinthine alleyways and countless stalls, are perfect for this kind of stealthy melee action.
Just be sure to keep your hands off the merchandise, unless you have a vendetta against local craftsmen and hawkers.
Whispers of Paris: The City of Love doesn't spare assassins from its charm. Featured in multiple Hitman games, Paris' elegant boulevards and iconic landmarks, like Notre-Dame and the opulent Paris Fashion Show, provide an idyllic setting for stylish assassinations.
Though we're not condoning your rooftop exploits, the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower isjaw-droppingly gorgeous. Just don't follow Agent 47's example and accidentally cause a city-wide blackout. Oops.
From Palaces to Prisons
The world of Hitman isn't confined to the streets. Elite institutions and lavish residences also play host to secretive meetings and lavish galas—the perfect incubators for hits and opportunities.

Inspired by the lavish architecture of Central European castles, these fortresses offer stunning views and deadly secrets.
Royal Escapades
Regional castles often host grand balls and royal occasions. The glitz and glamour may be enticing, but remember: The shiny appearance can hide hidden dangers. Always keep an eye on the shadows, because you never know who's watching.
Prisons: As Agent 47 can attest, even the most secure correctional facilities aren't immune to infiltration. In the "Suzie's Case File" mission, theBJECT(N▓hu, Wyoming, Federal Prison takes center stage. While we don't recommend attempting a breakout, it's fascinating to learn about the design aspects and security measures these institutions employ.
The Art of Lock and Key
Maximum-security prisons require advanced security measures—locks, electronic surveillance, rounds officers. It's a challenge for both inmates and,Clearly, those seeking to break in. But remember, pickpocketing the warden's keys isn't socially acceptable (or smart).
To avoid an "incident," we recommend sticking to the designated visiting hours and respecting the local rules. Safety first, assassins.
