And where you can find them on our James Bond movie locations map:

James Bond has understood the art of travel. The agent embraces the coziness of some of the worlds most luxurious hotels – likewise he enjoys simple backpacker delights on a hidden sunlit cove. Sometimes he travels with the Orient-Express, sometimes he even goes by camel. Those who visit the James Bond movie locations can experience a distinct travelism. Sometimes in the center of tourist happy cities, sometimes off the beaten path.

We have – including Bonds latest adventure No Time To Die – identified close to 600 James Bond movie locations so far. These locations encompass three types of places. There are locations where Bond movies have been filmed even though they are not subject of the later movie. The sun-soaked Spanish village Cadiz is such a location. It is the stand-in for Bonds Cuban entanglement in Die Another Day. Conversely, there are places that Bond visits in the film whereas his real life actors never showed up there.

Doesn’t matter for us.

We put the Siberias and Afghanistans and North Koreas on the bucket list anyway. But finally, there are the places where you can totally … Bond to: It’s all those magical James Bond movie locations, where the setting of the film once made matches the setting of a magnificent holiday there today.

    As I speak, i’m sitting @Spyros 007 café in Pagoi Corfu. I have read your visit in the book of this café. I was attended to your website! Nice place, nice people.

    First of all I have to say that this page is amazing, really cool idea.
    My boyfriend is a huge James Bond fan and we are on holidays in Crete this year. I found some information that some scenes of “For your eyes only” were shot there. Do you know where exactly?
    Thank you very much for your help.

      Hi Liz,

      “For Your Eyes Only” takes place in Greece – but as far as we know, the crew filmed only on Corfu and Meteora. Crete is no part of the film.

      All the best, Julia & Marc

    • Carlos Ferreira says:

      What about Portugal? More specifically the scenes from the casino and Palácio Hotel in Estoril from the 1964 classic “on her majesty’s secret service’?

    I have a framed copy of the menu of Cafe’ Martinique as presented in the movie. The date on the back of the framed picture is April 21 1960 and was framed by Summit Glass Showcase. How can I find out if I have something of value.

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Cindy,

      great souvenir! We are no experts on antiquities – but we would recommend, to check eBay for similar items and compare prizes. You can also present the menue on Bond fan forums like MI6-HQ. Maybe you’ll find some buyers there.

      Best, Julia & Marc

  4. Guys, I’m really impressed by your site and how you’ve managed to track James Bond locations. I’ve been living in Bangkok for 3 months and happened to some of Tomorrow Never Dies locations by chance, but I’ve got no idea how you succeeded in finding some streets you can barely see in the chase, in a city that has changed a lot since 1997. I’d be very curious to know how you’ve achieved that! (and I wouldn’t mind your tips to find the place where the spiral jump was done in The Man with the Golden Gun) !

    Congrats and thanks for this great site!

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Yvain,

      thanks for the praise! Well we are journalists – so we are used to do research. Google Streetview is a big help and then old filming records and books, especially the “James Bond Archives”. There is also a vibrant Bond traveler community. A good friend of ours helped us with tracking some locations in Bangkok. And then we always have printed scene pictures and ask people, when we are in a city. The older folks often remember…

      Concerning the Spiral Jump: Just wait a little, there might be an article coming up soon. ;)

    Hello, I have been a Bond fan, since the first movie was released. Read most of the books, even though my English teacher would frown. Your site is a great Bond site. Great job.
    However there is a location which I have not been able to place. Nowhere in the net. In the starting scene of Golfinger, he is in a bar. In the back wall to the bar the word EUSKADI. Would you know where that is and the name of the bar? I suspect it’s in the basque country.
    Thank you.

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Ray,

      thanks for the compliment! That bar is a studio set in Pinewood and can’t be found in the real world. It is supposed to be somewhere in Latin America.

      The gasworks, Bond plants the explosives though, are part of Esso Petroleum Co Ltd in Purfleet, England. So you can at least explore parts of the Pre Title Sequence. Enjoy!

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Michael,

      that is Villa Balbianello at Lake Como – or Lago di Como – in northern Italy. “Star Wars”, Episode 1, was also filmed there.

      All the best, Marc from HuntingBond

    people after my own heart! Well done setting this site up. I have often set up travel to drop by Bond’s and Fleming’s hangouts. Really good fun.

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi HL Huet,

      actually we have it on our map since the beginning. You’ll find Praia do Guincho west of Cascais at the Atlantic shore.

  7. Matthew Henderson says:

    Just saw No Time to Die last night and I was excited to see The Atlantic Highway in Norway featured. It was one of my bucket list visits when I was there in 2014. I too have traveled to many “Bond sights” it’s always cool to see places in real life that I dreamed about visiting when I grew up. James Bond tour in London, Vaux le Vicomte (The Drax residence) outside Paris and Furka Pass from Goldfinger in Switzerland just to name a few.

  8. Mary-Elizabeth says:

    Hi!
    I will be in Jamaica 30 March to 4 April, 2023. Can you recommend a tour guide/company for the north side of the island? I would love to see Goldeneye & James Bond Beach at the very least during our stay in Ocho Rios.
    Kind Regards,
    M

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Mary-Elizabeth,

      we haven’t been to Jamaica yet – so we can’t recommend any guides first hand. But we already know, that the Tourism Board is very helpful and full of Bond-love and Bond-knowledge. So just ask them directly at visitjamaica.com!

      All the best, HuntingBond

  9. Glenn Arnold says:

    I went to Paris in the mid-90s and there was a guy on the steps down to the Seine drawing sketches of scenes from the car chase down the very same steps from ‘View To A Kill’.

  10. Peter B says:

    We are going to Thailand and will visit James Bond Island which is easy to find. We rewatched Man with the Golden Gun with the commentary and learned of the Ancient City which is very big. Many thanks for finding the karate school! Excellent site! Happy travels : )

    Hello Julia and Marc

    It is an interesting web site, keep it up, a useful resource for the 007 fans out there.

    Now I should add I am not a fan of Bond in the sense I have only one Bond that has caught my imagination, and that is Craig, Daniel Craig.

    I liked Sean Connery in the early films, but the last five have been a much more faithful Bond to Ian Flemings original concept and his own history though that would be no doubt blasphemous in the eyes of some.

    I note you have not added the Ian Fleming locations, perhaps something to consider. I live in Kent and know of the house at St Margret’s Bay where two of the houses on the beach are directly connected to the author.

    In addition also in St Margret’s is the Granville Hotel, not in it’s original state as it was demolished in 1996, however it featured in Moonraker as Gala Brand and James go there after nearly going over the cliff. In fact most of the book is based in Kent and London.

    The cottage at Pett Bottom where Bond was looked after by an aunt (You Only Live Twice), now part of the pub known as the Duck Inn, was frequented by IF and there is a plaque in the garden to sit and maybe inspired as Ian Fleming was.

    Of course Dover Castle it’s self would have been at one stage part of his work due to it’s location and use as a command post. It is likely that his brother Peter a member of the SOE would know of the tunnels under the castle, and it is possible that Ian Fleming was partly inspired by the stories of daring do and espionage that came from those tunnels. Both of the Flemings had a lot of their wartime careers tied into the intelligence community and would have known of people such as the arch spy Kim Filby.

    As to the locations in Scotland, Skyfall’s location is of course iconic in the Bond story of the Daniel Craig era, it is one of my favoured locations, and I have climbed the mountain behind the valley, though many years ago. You can stay in the airbnb in the valley but it does not come cheap, though nicely appointed and near where Ian Flemings family owned a house which again may well have inspired the modern story of Bond’s family.

    Any way it is the wee hours of the morning, and raining again, so time to put the laptop down and switch of the table lamp. I think tomorrow I shall take a drive to the Duck Inn.

    Thank you.

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hey Charlie,

      thanks for your beautiful post! You are right, we don’t have the book locations (and also don’t pursue other Bond movie locations like “Never Say Never Again”). But we thought, we need to make a cut somewhere and focus on the main movie line. Still, we are aware of other Bond related locations and try to slip them in during our travel. Thanks to your great input, I am sure, we will see some during future travels to Great Britain!

      Best, Marc

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Robert,

      thanks a lot for the critique. We would love to have a better map, too. Best would be to switch between actors and/or movies. But we are just not enough the tech nerds we want to be to program a better map. Maybe we find time after we retire. Or maybe AI will solve it for us till then… :)

    Hey
    I am a fan of 007 movies from China Mainland. Please forgive my poor English. Your website is really helpful, I have found many locations that I didn’t know before.  
    When I checked the locations from ‘Quantum of Solace’, I couldn’t find where Mathis was killed, which I think is crucial to the movie. After I went through massive Google street views of Panama City, I am pretty sure that the scene was set on the east side of Calle Rochet in Panama, right at the T-junction with C.Estudiante.
    Best Wishes.

    • HuntingBond says:

      Hi Shaw! Wow, you found a new location, yes! It really looks like it – and we just found a call sheet for filming at Patio Rochet between 6:00pm and 6:00am on 14 and 15 February 2008. So I believe, that confirms it!

    OMG my son just visited the Holy Trinity Monastery in Greece today. We are both great fans of James Bond movies and anything that relates to them. As I was surfing the net for more info on For Your Eyes Only, I stumbled across your site. Wow! Thank you!! I’m “out of commission “ (Covid) today and have some serious time to just dig deeper into your site, love, love, love it!!!!

    • HuntingBond says:

      Wow, what a nice comment – thanks for your love! Get well soon and we hope, you’ll find some interesting new travel ideas.
