Determined to track down the old chap? You won’t be alone. The cobblestones teem with fans seeking their hero. Some actually think he was real.

It was a chilly Friday morning when I stood in the shadow of London’s 17th century St. Paul’s Cathedral, which drips with history…

This is where such figures as Lord Horatio Nelson and Christopher Wren are entombed. It’s also where the city’s most famous detective — not everyone regards him as fictional — runs amok in the new movie “Sherlock Holmes,” which opened last Friday…

Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle more than 120 years ago and the subject of hundreds of film interpretations ever since, Sherlock Holmes is still the world’s favorite private investigator…

And despite his questionable claims to existence, legions of fans flock to London every year to soak up his back story. On a recent visit, I wielded my virtual magnifying glass and set off in search of the great man.

In the action-packed movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock and Jude Law as Dr. Watson, the exterior of St. Paul’s appears with shiny carriages trundling past like today’s double-decker buses.

But when the story shifts to the landmark’s interior, the filmmakers moved to a nearby church that has a long career as a movie stand-in for less accessible sites.

Tucked along a hidden Smithfield passageway — an ideal place for a fog-bound encounter with a London ne’r-do-well — St. Bartholomew the Great is even older than St. Paul’s and has appeared in movies as diverse as “The Other Boleyn Girl” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” In “Holmes,” it portrays the crypt of St. Paul’s, and during a quiet moment on my visit, I chatted with twinkle-eyed verger Phil Stewart about the recent shoot.

“There were 30 or 40 crew members here for three days, and they had to clear away all the pews,” said Stewart. “Law and Downey had their own trailers, and I remember that Law was always on his phone in the courtyard between takes. Guy Ritchie [the director] was very nice, and he was often practicing his guitar when they weren’t shooting.”

After perusing the church’s handsome Norman architecture, I hopped on the Underground to Baker Street station — a Holmes pilgrimage spot.

Even the station’s wall tiles are adorned with pipe-wielding silhouettes. I joined the throng outside photographing a towering statue of the detective in contemplative pose. It was unveiled by the Sherlock Holmes Society of London in 1999, and it’s a not-too-subtle clue that this is the heart of Sherlockville.

Luckily, there’s no mad-eyed Hound of the Baskervilles, but there is a street address where, according to the books, Holmes once lived.

A short stroll away, I pushed through the heavy door of 221b Baker Street to find the charming Sherlock Holmes Museum.

Like all of London’s “house” museums, this one celebrates its namesake with re-created period rooms and antiques, all reminders of a life well lived.

Ascending the town house’s narrow, creaky staircase, I entered a cozy-looking Victorian parlor where I met the man himself, standing at his fireplace in a faded smoking jacket.

The elderly gent, also known as actor Stewart Quentin Holmes, turned out to be a warm, talkative fellow with a deep appreciation for Sherlockian mythology.

“In pursuit of fortune, glory and historical truth, daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones, portrayed by Harrison Ford, engages in adventure across the globe. The first three blockbusters, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Temple of Doom” and “The Last Crusade,” span North and South America, Africa and Asia. While little information about the upcoming film has been confirmed, the trailer and early reports for “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” indicate that the globe-trotting historian will once again bring his whip into jungles, ancient temples and maybe even a secret government compound.

For those who simply want to follow Doctor Jones’s trail, it’s a matter of booking flights or, in some cases, a tour (Expedia, for example, is offering Indiana Jones Travel Experiences). But recreating the spirit of his travels is much more difficult. The movies, inspired by the cheap and fast movie serials of the ’20s and ’30s, were rarely shot on location. In fact, much of the films were shot in Elstree Studio, a cavernous filmmaking facility in England.

“George Lucas wanted to do something like these old movie serials, but modernize it and do it better, with higher production values,” says Jonathon Rinzler, author of “The Complete Making of Indiana Jones.” “At the same time, he didn’t want $10 million on a shot you could do for $10,000.”

Still, the Indiana Jones crew has collected a lot of flyer miles over the years.

For the first film, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Hawaii stood in for Peru in the opening scene where Jones nabs an Incan statuette from a booby-trapped temple. While scores of tourists flock to the ruins at Machu Piccu, Peru still offers plenty of off-the-track adventure. Martin Haggland, owner of New York-based Inka Empire tours, urges travelers to explore Choquequirao, a ruined city in the south of Peru.

“Access has been difficult until the last few years, and it’s had few visitors,” Haggland says. “If you’re looking for an Indiana Jones experience, where the ruins are still in the jungle and only partially revealed, this will be the place for you.”

The Nepal scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Jones acquires the headpiece to the Staff of Ra—and a “partner” in Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood—was shot on a set. If you want to re-enact Ravenwood’s drinking contest, Nepal offers several indigenous liquors, notably the potent raksi. Before heading out, study the political scene—last April, the Nepalese government imposed a week-long ban on the production and sale of alcohol.” ( via forbestraveler.com ) by Adam Bulger
