We celebrate James Bond Day, as we do every October 5th, visiting five destinations that the most famous spy in cinema would go to.

Are you a true James Bond fan? If you want to relive some of the most iconic scenes from 007's movies, then you need to note down the following destinations we've discovered thanks to Musement.

1. Follow in Sean Connery's footsteps at Dunn's River Falls, Jamaica

Dunn's River Falls in the Caribbean town of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, was the perfect setting for the first film featuring this character titled "Dr. No" in 1962.

Sean Connery was the first actor to portray James Bond on a mission to investigate the disappearance of another British agent. Fans of the character will feel like they are in the movie when visiting the famous 55-meter waterfall where Connery and Ursula Andress swim.

2. Trace the path of George Lazenby in Interlaken and Schilthorn, Geneva.

At an altitude of 2,970 meters, one can see some of the best views of Switzerland, where we can admire over 200 mountain peaks, including the famous Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger, declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. A cable car takes us to the top of Schilthorn, where we can follow in the footsteps of James Bond in the film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," starring actor George Lazenby. In this film, the spy had to confront his enemy Blofeld, who planned to sterilize the food supply worldwide.

3. Discover James Bond's island with Roger Moore in Thailand.

Ao Phang Nga National Park in Thailand is home to an islet called Ko Tapu, which is also known worldwide as James Bond Island after scenes from the 007 film "The Man with the Golden Gun" were filmed there, starring Roger Moore as the spy who was on the trail of a device that could harness solar energy. If we travel to this exotic destination, we can visit the island while enjoying a cruise through the stunning Phang Nga Bay.

4. Emulate Pierce Brosnan at Zukovsky's Casino, Buckinghamshire.

Located just outside of London, specifically in Buckinghamshire, is the house that was used as Zukovsky's casino in the film "The World Is Not Enough." However, this is not the only location in England we can visit where Bond scenes were filmed, as he is a British spy and part of Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Therefore, it is not surprising that various locations in the country appear in the 007 films, as England is the place where the saga has been filmed the most, and where we can enjoy numerous tours that follow the routes of 007.

5. Chase Daniel Craig's trail in Rome.

Discover the locations in the Eternal City that became protagonists of many scenes in the latest James Bond film "Spectre," filmed in 2015 and starring Daniel Craig. In the film, 007's mission is to stop a terrorist plot, and the spy moves through the Pantheon, St. Peter's Square, the Pyramid area, and the famous Trastevere neighborhood, among others.
