Lean's experience filming a part of ''Lawrence of Arabia'' in Spain, access to [[CEA Studios]], and the guarantee of snow in some parts of Spain led to his choosing the country as the primary location for filming.<ref name="Filming in Madrid">{{cite web|title=Filming in Madrid|url=http://www.abc.es/madrid/gente-estilo/20150111/abci-canillas-doctor-zhivago-201501101253.html|date=10 January 2015|access-date=19 July 2016|archive-date=11 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150111082040/http://www.abc.es/madrid/gente-estilo/20150111/abci-canillas-doctor-zhivago-201501101253.html|url-status=live}}</ref> However, the weather predictions failed and David Lean's team experienced Spain's warmest winter in 50 years.<ref name="Filming in Madrid"/> As a result, some scenes were filmed in interiors with artificial snow made with dust from a nearby marble quarry. The team filmed some locations with natural heavy snow, such as the snowy landscape in Strelnikov's train sequence, somewhere in Campo de Gómara near [[Soria]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Línea Santander-Mediterráneo.

[[Nicolas Roeg]] was the original director of photography and worked on some scenes but, after an argument with Lean, he left and was replaced by [[Freddie Young]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2005/jun/03/hayfilmfestival2005.hayfestival|title=Nicolas Roeg|date=3 June 2005|newspaper=the Guardian|access-date=10 March 2016|last1=Wood|first1=Jason|archive-date=30 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170330213629/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2005/jun/03/hayfilmfestival2005.hayfestival|url-status=live}}</ref> Principal photography began on 28 December 1964, and production ended on 8 October the following year; the entire Moscow set was built from scratch outside Madrid.<ref name="afi" /> Most of the scenes covering Zhivago's and Lara's service in World War I were filmed in Soria, as was the Varykino estate.  The "ice-palace" at Varykino was filmed in Soria as well, a house filled with frozen beeswax. The charge of the partisans across the frozen lake was also filmed in Spain; a cast iron sheet was placed over a dried river-bed, and fake snow (mostly marble dust) was added on top. Some of the winter scenes were filmed in summer with warm temperatures, sometimes of up to 25&nbsp;°C (77&nbsp;°F). Other locations include [[Railway Museum (Madrid)|Madrid-Delicias railway station]] in Madrid and the [[Moncayo Range]].<ref>{{cite web|website=[[Railway Museum (Madrid)|Railway Museum]]|title=Silence, we're rolling!|url=http://www.museodelferrocarril.org/140Delicias/panels/panel14.asp|access-date=June 20, 2020|archive-date=22 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622161708/http://www.museodelferrocarril.org/140Delicias/panels/panel14.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> The initial and final scenes were shot at the [[Aldeadávila Dam]] between Spain and Portugal. Although uncredited, most of those scenes were shot on the Portuguese side of the river, overlooking the Spanish side.

Other winter sequences, mostly landscape scenes and Yuri's escape from the partisans, were filmed in Finland near [[Joensuu]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.helsinginuutiset.fi/teemat/8377767|title=Ennen Suomi esitti elokuvissa Neuvostoliittoa – nyt meistä kiinnostutaan ihan eri syistä|trans-title=Finland used to portray the Soviet Union in films – now we are being shown for completely different reasons|first=Tomi|last=Kangasniemi|work=[[Helsingin Uutiset]]|date=19 April 2025|access-date=20 April 2025|language=fi}}</ref> Winter scenes of the family traveling to Yuriatin by rail were filmed in Canada. The locomotives seen in the film are Spanish locomotives like the [[Renfe Operadora|RENFE]] Class 240 (ex-1400 MZA), and Strelnikov's armoured train is towed by the RENFE Class 141F [[2-8-2|Mikado locomotive]].

One train scene became notorious for the supposed fate that befell [[Lili Muráti]], a Hungarian actress, who slipped clambering onto a moving train. Although she fell under the wagon, she escaped serious injury and returned to work within three weeks (and did not perish or lose a limb).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snopes.com/movies/films/zhivago.asp|title=Dr. Zhivago stunt death|date=11 July 1997 |publisher=www.snopes.com|access-date=9 January 2016|archive-date=26 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210526015049/https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/dr-zhivago/|url-status=live}}</ref> Lean appears to have used part of her accident in the film's final cut.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thingsinmovies.com/woman-falling-under-a-train-in-doctor-zhivago/|title=Woman Falling Under a Train in Doctor Zhivago|date=1 November 2011|publisher=www.thingsinmovies.com|access-date=9 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303183900/http://www.thingsinmovies.com/woman-falling-under-a-train-in-doctor-zhivago/|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
