We also spot Bond at Ca’ Rezzonico, a former palace now turned 18th century museum. Unbelievably, Bond takes his gondola ride out of the water and through Piazza San Marco, Venice’s famous main square, before checking into Venice’s Hotel Danieli. (Truth be told, it was likely filmed in a bluescreen studio, but we won't’ judge).įast forward sixteen years and we see Bond back in Venice in Moonraker, travelling by gondola along the Canal Grande, barely escaping assassins in a speedboat.
Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig all have a fling in Venice portraying James Bond.The iconic end scene of From Russia with Love features James Bond and Tatiana Romanova kissing in Venice, as they travel on a water taxi under the iconic Bridge of Sighs.
