If you’ve been following the movie industry at all this year, it won’t have escaped your notice that the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die, is finally set for release on 30 September 2021. And, after being delayed twice, anticipation is high. Beyond its all-star cast, though, it’s packed full of a whole array of bucket-list destinations in some truly spectacular filming locations. From ancient Italian cities to the fjord-framed roads of Norway, below, we list all of the filming locations from the latest chapter of the world’s most famous film franchise – and how you can visit them.
Matera, Basilicata, Italy
The stone-shaded city of Matera is classic Bond territory, with snippets from this historic region featured throughout the trailer. Carved into the hillside, this Biblical gem is filled with UNESCO-listed treasures and ancient sassi cave dwellings that were first inhabited 7,000 years ago. Matera was even named European Capital of Culture 2019. Explore it for yourself with this super-scenic self-drive alongside luxury hotel stays, wine tastings and private tours to discover its medieval castle towns, fishing villages and spectacular beaches.

Atlantic Road & Oslo, Norway
The spectacular Atlantic Road twists and turns between Norway's beautiful west coastal islands, framed on one side by the region's famous fjords and the ocean – home to humpback whales, orcas and seals – on the other. It's unsurprising, then, that this was one of the filming locations for Bond 25, as well as Nittedal, near Oslo, the setting for the thrilling frozen lake scene. Discover it all with your own road trip that visits the Atlantic Road and its charming fishing village and fjord surrounds, or explore Oslo's cultural core before taking the famous Norway in a Nutshell tour to admire the iconic fjord views.

Cairngorms, Scotland
It wouldn’t be a Bond film without a few sweeping Scottish views, and No Time to Die follows suit, with filming taking place in the spectacular Cairngorms, a national park home to some of some of Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes. Fancy a Bond-style road trip? Explore with a self drive that visits Inverness, Cairngorms National Park and Fort William, alongside everything from glorious mountain walks and wildlife spotting to loch boat trips and Harry Potter steam-train rides.

Port Antonio, Jamaica
Lapping waves and powder-white beaches – a Bond film isn't complete without a visit to a tropical paradise or two, and the jungle-lined shores of northern Jamaica are the destination of choice in No Time To Die. Follow in Bond's footsteps and relax with a luxury hotel stay at Jamaica Inn – less than an hour away from filming location Port Antonio – a charming boutique gem set on a gorgeous white sand cove and consistently rated as one of Jamaica's finest properties.
