Watching a\u00a0James Bond<\/span>\u00a0film<\/a> can make you want a lot of different things: fancy cars, secret agent training, the company of a beautiful woman (or handsome man), or even a new wardrobe full of sharp formal wear. The films are designed as much to be eye candy as anything else. Above all else, however, many of them can make you want to tour the world and see some of the incredible cities and gorgeous getaways that\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0and associated characters tend to wind up in. It\u2019s a sprawling franchise full of incredible destinations. Fortunately for us, the idea of visiting these destinations is more attainable than most of those other things mentioned above!<\/p>\n

Generally speaking,\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0movies make use of real places rather than making them up, and that means filming spots which are perfectly accessible to anyone with a dose of wanderlust, a bit of initiative and some moola. To prove the point, here\u2019s a look at five legendary locations from the films that you can actually visit in real life.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

Dunn\u2019s River Falls\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ocho Rios, Jamaica<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fans will remember a scene in \u201cDr. No\u201d when\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0(Sean Connery) and Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) ducked under a surreal waterfall in order to avoid capture, using bamboo shafts like snorkels. In the film, this happens in a fictional location. But the actual setting was the Dunn\u2019s River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. This location is among the most popular tourist destinations associated with an exotic\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0scene. Indeed, travelers insist that you allot a couple of hours to climb the Falls if you happen to be visiting the Ocho Rios area.<\/p>\n

Himeji Castle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hyogo, Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1967\u2019s \u201cYou Only Live Twice,\u201d\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0(Sean Connery<\/a>) was making his way to Japan, where he ultimately visited a sort of traditional ninja academy run by Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro Tanba<\/a>). The academy itself doesn\u2019t exist, but if you\u2019ve ever been intrigued by the setting you\u2019ll be interested to know it was created within Himeji Castle \u2013- a very real building in Japan\u2019s Hyogo Prefecture. It\u2019s a postcard-perfect ancient sight that\u2019s been called the finest surviving example of 17th century Japanese castle architecture, and you can\u2019t help but absorb a sense of adventure from seeing it in person.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

Karlovy Vary Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Craig<\/span><\/a>\u2019s first turn as\u00a0Bond<\/span>, in \u201cCasino Royale<\/a>,\u201d involved casino venues arguably more intimately than any previous\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0film. Yet many are under the mistaken impression that the fictional \u201cCasino Royale\u201d was the Monte Carlo Casino. While there are some similarities, this isn\u2019t accurate. The inspiration for the casino came from Ian Fleming<\/a>\u2019s time at the Casino Estoril in Lisbon \u2013 and the actual casino, or at least its beautiful exterior, was filmed at the Karlovy Vary Spa in the Czech Republic. It\u2019s a renowned spa, and in fact the whole town of Karlovy Vary is known as a relaxing and attractive retreat well worth visiting.<\/p>\n

\"James\u00a9<\/b>Courtesy of Wikipedia<\/p>\n

Glen Etive<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glencoe, Scotland<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the setting of \u201cSkyfall,\u201d one of the more recent\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0films. It was an unusual location in the franchise in that it represented not some far reaching aspect of the film where a villain lurked or a mission was necessary, but rather a chapter of\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u2019s past. Glen Etive is an area in the Scottish Highlands that was used as the backdrop for \u201cSkyfall,\u201d where the country house from\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u2019s childhood was. This is where the film reached its climax, and where Craig\u2019s\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0had his final showdown with Silva (Javier Bardem). It\u2019s a gorgeous place for a hike, as well as some general sightseeing.<\/p>\n

Phang Nga Bay (Known as James Bond<\/span> Island)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phang Nga Bay, Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may surprise you to learn that there\u2019s actually an island in Thailand that has taken on the name of James Bond<\/span>. Such is the case, however, at TapuIsland, a pristine getaway that was used as the hideout for Christopher Lee\u2019s famous Francisco Scaramanga villain. Scaramanga and\u00a0Bond<\/span>\u00a0(Roger Moore) famously dueled on this very beach in \u201cThe Man With The Golden Gun\u201d \u2014 but you can have a far more relaxing time if you manage to visit!<\/p>\n
