Bond: On location

It wouldn't be a Bond film without some exotic scenery. Here are a few hot spots you'll see in "Quantum of Solace":

ITALY: Bond does some running over the rooftops in the Tuscan hill town of Siena. Lake Garda marks the start of an Aston Martin vs. Alfa Romeo car chase, which continues at Carrara, a 2,000-year-old marble quarry that provided the raw materials for the Pantheon and Michelangelo's David.

The picturesque, privately owned Villa La Guardia (pictured above) near the medieval town of Grosseto gets turned into a CIA agent's digs. Go to www.wimco.com to book the four-bedroom abode for $10,472 a week, through March 27.

PANAMA CITY: With a little help from the art department, the Inac Building in Casco Viejo became the fictional Andean Grand Hotel. And the Old Union Club, once the most prestigious private club in Panama, serves as the setting for a glamorous soiree.

CHILE: Bond chases his enemies through a real-life observatory set high in Chile's Atacama Desert. Chile's vast landscapes are supposed to be water-starved Bolivia.

AUSTRIA: A key scene takes place at the opera house and spectacular outdoor floating stage in the town of Bregenz.

ENGLAND: Bond's home base, of course, is London. But the movie also includes stops in the Bruneval Barracks in Aldershot, which doubles as Moscow; Bodyflight, the world's largest skydiving wind tunnel, in Bedford, and the Base, Virgin Atlantic's training facility in Crawley.
