Birds eye shots of Aston Martins cruising along hairpin roads, steamy scenes on chalk-white beaches: the choice of James Bond filming locations has the power to put new holiday destinations on the map.
Here we round up the best places to visit from No Time To Die – and rediscover old favourites from the archive.
Puglia, Italy
Some of the most nail biting scenes in the latest film involve Bond jumping from an aqueduct into a ravine to escape his pursuers then hurtling round the sidestreets of an ancient Italian town on a motorbike.
Most of the scenes are shot around the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Matera in southern Italy. Known as The City of Caves, it sits on a rocky outcrop with troglodyte settlements carved into its base. Matera is on one side of the border between the Basilicata region and Puglia, while Gravina (where the aqueduct shots were done) is on the other.
