James Bond Destinations
In 1962, James Bond made his big-screen debut in Dr. No , setting a cinematic standard as the globe-trotting secret agent 007. From London to Jamaica and beyond, Bond's adventures have spanned the globe, taking audiences to more than one hundred real-life locations over the past six decades.
In James Bond Destinations , explore the iconic locations that have played a pivotal role in Bond’s jet-set travels. Each chapter offers insider perspectives and unforgettable scenes, including Ursula Andress emerging from Jamaican waters, Daniel Craig’s high-speed chase in Rome and Roger Moore’s epic showdown on a Sugarloaf cable car in Rio.
In the early 1960s, when international travel was a rarity, the Bond films captivated audiences, igniting dreams of glamorous vacations and cementing the franchise as a trusted guide to adventure. Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the original Bond producer, recalls how her father sought to transport people on magical adventures.
As travel became more accessible, the Bond experience evolved to stay ahead of the curve. Producers like Michael G. Wilson found new, unfamiliar locations or transformed well-known locales into spectacular sets, ensuring that each Bond film continued to offer the thrill of exploration. For example, the streets of Rome in Spectre required meticulous planning, and Venice’s Grand Canal was closed off for the first time in centuries for Casino Royale , allowing Daniel Craig’s Bond to cruise around unhindered.
