The only location I've been to that's relatively close to a Bond location is Fort Knox in Kentucky. I was driving through that area on my way to northern Kentucky, and we passed a sign that said "Fort Knox, x number of miles." I just about lost it! I wanted to go there so bad!!!

I sort of took advantage of where I was - when I was in Rio in 2002 they had a local travel agent which did trips to Iguacu Falls for £150 return. Brazilian prices. Included flight, accomodation and tour. Thats good value considering the size of Brazil.
Well worth it to see Iguacu.
So far, my list is:
- Karlovy Vary, Prague and Locket (Casino Royale) - I had a meal at the same table Bond and Vesper sat at after he won the game.
- Lake Como - including the gardens where Bond is in rehab (CR) - stunning gardens and view of the lake. There was a wedding there when I visited.
- Siena - where the Palio takes place (QOS) - an amazing and underated city in a country full of stunning cities. So beautiful.
- Venice (MR and CR)
- Thailand (Bangkok and Phuket - TMWTGG)
- Vienna sites used in TLD - the fun fair and Palace.
- Golden Gate Bridge (AVTAK)
- Eiffel Tower (AVTAK)
- Cairo pyramids (TSWLM)
- Istanbul sites used in FRWL - market, mosque, boat ride and train station.
- London (including all Skyfall sites)
and a few others I've forgotten.
Its my birthday the week after next and I'm returning to Czech Republic to take advantage of the cheap beers and a few of the lovely looking ladies I know there! I'm going to visit Karlovy Vary and Locket again too (CR). Locket (the castle town where Bond/Vesper meet Mathis) is one of the most beautiful towns I've ever been too - especially in summer time. You must try and visit some time, guys. And beers in the pubs/restaurants in that town cost me.... 40p!!!!! Amazing!

I've also been to a few places that surprises me haven't been in a Bond movie before. Why hasn't Bond been to?:
- Rome, Italy
- Milan, Italy
- Zurich, Switzerland
- Nice, France
- Athens, Greece
- Montreal, Canada
- Quebec, Canada
Maybe these places are too touristy?
I know "why" they are touristy, I'm just not sure why these places haven't been in a Bond film yet. I could easily see Bond in Nice, Rome or Athens. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Bond in New York or Paris again as well.
Nice! I'm booked there in winter 2015. Next winter I'll be climbing various Caribbean volcanoes.
I've only been to Nawlins and was in Miami only on a connecting flight to the USVI, but Vegas is on my bucket list as is England, of course.
He has been close to the ones you listed, but not right at those specific locations. I do see what you mean though, plenty of great locations there.
And places I've been where Bond should go- Syndey, Dublin and Madrid.
