About the Work

In 1962, James Bond made his cinematic debut in Dr. No, introducing the world to the globetrotting secret agent 007. From London to Jamaica and far beyond, Bond's adventures have taken him to over a hundred real-life locations over the past six decades.

Delve into the iconic destinations that have played a central role in Bond's high-flying escapades with James Bond Destinations. Each chapter provides an insider's perspective and revisits unforgettable scenes, such as Ursula Andress emerging from the waters of Jamaica, Daniel Craig's thrilling car chase through the streets of Rome, and Roger Moore's epic showdown on a Sugarloaf cable car in Rio.

During the early to mid-1960s, a time when international travel was a rarity, Bond films enchanted audiences, sparking dreams of glamorous getaways and solidifying the franchise as a trusted source of adventure. Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the original Bond producer, fondly recalls how her father aimed to transport people on magical journeys.

As travel became more accessible, the Bond experience evolved to stay ahead. Producers like Michael G. Wilson sought out new, unexplored locations or transformed well-known places into spectacular settings, ensuring that each Bond film continued to offer the thrill of discovery. For instance, filming the streets of Rome for Spectre required meticulous planning, and Casino Royale saw the Grand Canal in Venice closed for the first time in centuries, allowing Daniel Craig's Bond to glide through unobstructed.
