If Morocco is the one you're most excited for, my order would be reversed.
In second place is Mexico City. A sprawling city with beautiful architecture and one rarely seen on the big screen. The clips of the PTS look very exciting.
Rome - I am definetely interested in the action setpiece of Rome but I don't know, not particularly interested in the city itself. Craig's bond has already been all through Italy - Venice, Sienna, and Talamone

Agreed, but still I just do not see Daniel Craig looking good on skiis or a snowboard. He's too macho or something? However I am hoping for a snowmobile chase
Very few big budget productions bother to actually film there because of the cost and the red-tape and hoops they have to jump through to film on location.
That's what makes the Bond films different "the money is right there on the screen, you can see it".
I think Cubby Broccoli said that, and it's true.
Interesting that Bond is on "holiday" in Mexico and not on an authorised mission!!
Also Mexico City should be good...
If he's the one responsible for the poor colour, he's certainly not a genius. That's my only complaint so far.
and the cinematography looks amazing. -{ but of course we
all have different opinions.
It's not the lighting, it's that the colours are muted. The people look like ghosts. Or, rather, spectres.
it is only the trailer, so who knows ? What the true finished product
will look like.
The London scenes are literally in my back yard as I live walking distance from the MI6 building and Parliament Square
In October I am heading to Austria. Even though Bond has been here before (TLD, TSWLM) I have not. So will be looking out for key places in SPECTRE. Can't wait.
Christmas will be in South America - again Bond inspired.
My number one for SPECTRE will be Mexico. never been and hope to go in 2016 when I have seen the movie and therefore know what to look for!
Rome is great, have been several times so will be keen to see that.
North Africa, I am sorry to say will not be on my list any more. I have visited Egypt twice and loved the Pyramids (TSWLM) but the threat of terrorism, and Morocco's dreadful record on human rights means that I am not keen any more.
So, to answer the question I am most excited for...in order:
1. Mexico
2. Austria
3. Rome
4. London
5. Morocco
Its a shame that you feel this way about the Middle East. I was thinking of Jordan and Egypt this year but it seems on high alert due to the terrorism. But it means they have won if you stay away..
Would like to do Luxor and Aswan...
The berbers do keep daggers up their sleeves... STILL! Of course certain areas of morocco are safer than others. Casablanca for instance is actually very dangerous and impoverished, having very little in common with its portrayal in the movie. It is quite close to terrorist nations, as well as Sierra Leone, ebola hotspot of the world. But it obviously still seems safe enough for one of the hottest travel destinations for Europeans out there.
But I just went to Rome last week (it was booked ages ago before I knew SPECTRE was filming there). So I visited a couple of places I saw in the trailer and heard were confirmed:
Ponte Sisto Bridge
St Peters Basilica/ Vatican area and the main road that leads to it
Around the Colosseum
Road at the side of the river where the cars race each other
Via Quattro Fonate (which I heard was cancelled, but had a look anyway)
Lovely city, can't wait to see how it looks in the film.

"Screw 'em." - Daniel Craig, The Best James Bond EverTM
Plane flying over the building in the Alps and the chase sequence. All
Look so stunning. The cinematography looks to be simply amazing. -{
