# Return the location of a bucket

The [get_bucket_location()](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/s3.html#S3.Client.get_bucket_location) method is used to return the region in which the bucket resides.

If a region was specified in the [CreateBucket()](/docs-5-4/docs/en/create-a-bucket-boto3) request, it is returned by this method. If no region was specified in the CreateBucket() request, the bucket region was set to 'vast-1', which is returned by this method.

## Example

```plaintext
response = s3_client.get_bucket_location(
    Bucket='mybucket',
)
```
