1. Matera, Italy
The opening car chase scene kicks off in Matera with Bond’s car speeding into figure-eight donuts, guns ablazing. Known as the “City of the Dead,” Matera spiritually echoes Vesper Lynd’s departure from Bond’s life in the previous film. Explore the town’s hollowed grottoes and mountainside dwellings on a private walking tour with locals, where you’ll learn how this ancient warren-turned-World Heritage Site became Italy’s hidden gem. Travellers say Cripta del Peccato Originale and Parco delle Chiese Rupestri di Matera are ruins worth revisiting.
2. Port Antonio, Jamaica
Just outside Port Antonio, Bond’s open-air retirement villa stands alone at the coastline, perfectly remote whilst staying within the reaches of civilization—exactly like his previous retirement location in Skyfall. And Bond might be on to something: Port Antonio offers both jungle and beach activities, making it the ideal vacation (and retirement!) destination. A bus tour to Reach Falls and a rafting cruise along Blue Lagoon are choice ways to start exploring, but you could also do it all in a 2-in-1 tour if you’re adventurous enough.
3. Cairngorms National Park, Scotland
It’s not Bond without thrilling chases and stunts—and that’s where the lush mountains of Cairngorms enter the frame. A chase takes Bond through various areas of the U.K.’s largest park, specifically across Aviemore for its incredible forestry, and later across the countryside estate of Ardverikie along the shores of Loch Laggan. Walking trails, biking routes, and nature reserves are aplenty amid the moorland; this Loch Ness Glencoe and Highlands group tour takes you there, with stops at Glencoe, Cairngorms, and Fort Augustus along the way.
