Great locations is a part of the James Bond formula. What do you think are the best locations used in Bond movies in your opinion? To me a great Bond location mre than a beautiful and stunning part of the world, it's also a place that becomes a part of the story. It's a place that's used in the action and the characters use.
In my opinion the best city locations are Istanbul and Venize. Beautiful cities (I've been in Istanbul) tha tare used well in several movies. I'd also liek to mention:
- St. Cyril's in Greece (FYEO)
- The lake garden palace (OP)
- Matera (NTTD)

Piz Gloria (OHMSS)
Piz Gloria is a great location, but personally I don't find it very exotic.
Thats cuz you have views like these out your front window. Some of us just have postwar suburban strip malls to look at every day.
Switzerland - Piz Gloria and Furka Pass
Italy - Venice, Sardinia and Matera (but being an Italophile, I love all all the locations used in the country).
Bahamas
Egypt
"postwar suburban strip malls"...I'd kill to have a view of a postwar suburban strip mall! Luxury! 😁
I agree, especially on the Antartica part. Bond should gi somewhere daring and unique!
Thank you for picking up on the 'subtle' hint, N24 😎
Hints have to be "subtle" for me pick them up! 😂
Too many locations for me to pick one. I am a hotel/restaurant lover, so particular favourites are (in no order):
😎
Nice choices there my friend.👌
I'll second that 🙄.
For me, Jamaica then Japan. I'd probably be disappointed to visit them today since they'll have changed so much.
As a tourist, to visit, my favourites have been Matera and Gravina, Soelden and Bregenz as many of the others don’t have the feeling of being where the film was shot, will visit some of the CR locations soon hopefully!
I envy you, IceQ.
I wonder what the worst Bond locations are? The toilet where Brosnan is revealed as Bond in GE, perhaps? 😂
My favorite locations:
1. Turkey (FRWL & TWINE)
2. Switzerland (OHMSS)
3. Macau (SF)
4. London (All Bond Films)
Hi everyone, two weeks ago I was on holiday to Istanbul. Of course I visited a number of James Bond locations while I was there. From Russia with Love took centre stage during my trip because it's one of my favourite films in the series. I visited several locations and made this 25 min video. Hope you like it! Please let me know if you have any questions or tips. Cheers 🍸️

No one mentions James Bond Island in Thailand? Very out of this world.
Been to Istanbul, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Cairo, Venice, San Francisco, but my favourite Bond Location so far was Corfu.
