Spectre - a James Bond movie – showcases some of the very best winter scenery in the Austrian Alps. Key scenes were shot in the icy heights of the Ötztal Alps in Sölden, the East Tirolean mountain village of Obertilliach, as well as the idyllic Lake Altaussee in Styria. Locations like Lake Altaussee truly come to life in the summer and you can explore the region like 007 by using a variety of means on our Austrian Lakes Hike & Bike trip.

The backdrop for the opening sequence of the 1981 movie For Your Eyes Only was set on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu. With beautiful diving and swimming opportunities, your visit to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town of Corfu will be as memorable as Bond's. Soak up the authentic Greek hospitality and follow in 007's footsteps with your family as you hop from island to island on our Greek Islands Family Adventure or travel from Corfu to some of the least visited regions of the Greek Islands on our Ionian Islands Bike & Boat.

While Casino Royale is the 21st Bond movie to be made and the story covers the very start of Bond’s career as he was just obtaining his 'license to kill'. The final scenes of the movie include stunning panoramic views of Lake Como in Italy. This is also where Daniel Craig utters the famous words for the first time, "The name's Bond, James Bond". Encounter the wonderful contrast between the gorgeous blue lakes and the rugged mountains surrounding them on one of our walking trips in Lake Como.

A follow up to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace continues with the Italian theme. Only this time, it features the beautiful and historic city of Siena in Tuscany. While the locations were scattered across the country, Siena stood out thanks to the horse race scene shot during one of the city’s most famous spectacles, Il Palio di Siena. Swap the horse saddle for a bike saddle and explore Siena and beyond by bike or on foot.

One of the most famous films in the Bond franchise, Diamonds Are Forever, will forever remain a classic. Sean Connery plays Bond in this movie where he begins his mission to sort out some professional diamond smugglers in Amsterdam. Many of the locations that are featured in the movie remain unchanged to this day. Discover Amsterdam and more on one of our Bike & Barge journeys that explore the Netherlands or even travel onto Belgium.

For sheer spectacular landscapes, On Her Majesty’s Service is our favourite. In the movie, Bond is seen destroying the Piz Gloria, a revolving restaurant located at 2970m, with sweeping views over the remarkable Bernese Alps.  Did you know the movie helped to finance its construction? Be like Bond and head to the amazing Bernese Alps for spectacular views of the Swiss Alps.
