James Bond Destinations

In 1962, James Bond made his big-screen debut in Dr. No, setting the world standard as the world-traveling secret agent 007. From London to Jamaica and beyond, Bond's adventures have circled the globe, taking audiences to more than a hundred real-life locations over the past six decades.

The coffee-table book "James Bond Destinations" presents the iconic places that played central roles in the jet-setting travels of the famous secret agent. Each chapter offers insider insights and unforgettable scenes, such as Ursula Andress emerging from Jamaican waters, Daniel Craig's high-speed chase in Rome and Roger Moore's epic confrontation on a Sugarloaf cable car in Rio.

In the early to mid-1960s, when international travel was still a rarity, Bond films captivated audiences, made them dream of glamorous vacations and the franchise became a reliable guide to adventure. Barbara Broccoli, daughter of the original Bond producer, recalls how her father wanted to take people on magical adventures. As travel became more accessible, the Bond experience evolved to stay ahead. Producers like Michael G. Wilson found new, unseen locations or transformed familiar places into spectacular settings, so each Bond film continued to offer the thrill of exploration. For example, the streets of Rome in Spectre had to be carefully blocked off, and Venice's Grand Canal closed for the first time in centuries for Casino Royale so that Daniel Craig's Bond could sail unhindered.
