Quantum of Solace

First two shots are showing the dramatic coast line of Lake Garda, along the bottom of which runs the "Gardesana Occidentale” or state road 45 (SS 45 bis).

Some websites are incorrectly saying this location is the other side of the Lake Garda on SS 249. This shoreline is in the Trentino (North) section, just up the road from the Surf Hotel Pier. Riva del Gardo, Italy. The interior tunnel segment where Bond’s car spins was filmed to the East side of the Lake, as the different concrete canopy supports show (IJ)

With Bond attempting to escape with Mr White (Jesper Christensen) the chase comes out of the tunnel...this is still along the SS45bis. This exit tunnel, heading north, is just down the hill from the Village Hotel Lucia & Maison du Pralonc.

Continuing on the same SS45bis Via IV Novembre, the chase heads towards what genuinely is the next tunnel on that road from the previous shot. But before that you can see the left turn that the cars are about to take onto the Strada della Forra, a steep, narrow road with mountain tunnels offering picturesque views of lake and adjacent peaks.

Despite the previous few shots being geographically accurate with each other, this shot is where movie magic allows the chase to jump around 303km (188 miles) from the previous shot. The Aston Martin comes out of a double tunnel and speeds down Via dei Colli. The exact spot is about 700 meters west of the Passo del Vestito.

With the police also now involved, the chase heads into a quarry. This is the marble quarry near the city of Carrara in the province of Massa and Carrara in the Lunigiana, the northernmost tip of modern-day Tuscany, Italy. Carrara marble has been used since the time of Ancient Rome.

Bond enters Siena by driving up the Via di Fontanella and turning down Via Giovanni Dupre.

He drives into the tunnel entrance providing access to the MI6 Field HQ, which is located on Piazzetta Della Paglietta, Via Salicotto, 67, 53100 Siena, Italy.

The mass crowds where Bond has part of the footchase with Mitchell (Glenn Foster) is the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy. This sequence used footage filmed months prior to the main start of the Bond film production as they wanted to capture shots of the real ‘Palio di Siena' a horse race that is held twice each year, on 2 July and 16 August. Ten horses and riders, bareback and dressed in the appropriate colours, represent ten of the seventeen Contrade, or city wards.

Bond walks along Via Salicotto before turning back onto the Piazzetta Della Paglietta leading into the MI6 safe house tunnel in Siena.

The secret service vehicle is driven along the entrance into The Water Gardens, 1 Burwood Place, Tyburnia, London W2.

Mitchell's London flat is also in part of the three block construction called The Water Gardens. The location is situated over the junction of Sussex Gardens and Edgware Road in London W2.

The scenes set in Port Au Prince, Haiti were filmed primarily in the port city of Colón, Panama. This is the corner of Av, del Frente & C. 5ta. As another example of movie magic, the shot of the port in Capture 21 is literally right behind this street corner!

The unnamed Haitian gang member (Jacques Duckins) is following Camille but finds traffic is an issue at the cross roads of Av Bolivar & C. 6ta in Colón, Panama.

Bond and Camille (Olga Kurylenko) continue along a currently unidentified side street in Colón, Panama. This is just before Camille gives Bond a good reason to get out of the car.

Bond confronts the henchman and steals the motorbike. This is somewhere in Colón.

Now Bond races down Av Balboa in Colón.

Bond crosses where roads Av Balboa and C. 8Va meet.

The MI6 building is actually the Barbican Centre, a performing arts centre in the Barbican Estate of the City of London and the largest of its kind in Europe. Silk Street, Barbican, London EC2Y 8DS.

Bond has headed further down Av Balboa and is about to turn on to C. 7ma in Colón City, Panama.

Camille arives at the pier. This is Colon Spring 3, a boat storage facility in Colón, Panama.

Camille gets out of car and goes to seek out Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric).

Bond is not far. Behind him is the street C. 5ta in Colón, Panama.

General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio) is meeting with Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) on the pier in Colón.

After a boat chase, Bond unknowingly rescues Camille. The sequence is said to have all been filmed in the harbour area of Colón, Panama. The building in this shot is currently unidentified.

Bond approaches Cabra Island (Isla Cabra) which, thanks to the detective work of Ian Johnson, we know is just off the north east tip of Linton Island (Isla Linton) and south west of Grand Island (Isla Grande). This area is amongst the northern most part of Panama. There is a possible mislabelled glitch on google maps that places its map marker to the west of the actual Cabra Island location.

Bond has dropped off Camille. This is almost certainly the boat yard at the Shelter Bay Marina, Panama.

Bond follows Greene to the local airport. The large white building in the background suggests this seems to be the Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport in Panama.

Greene’s private jet arriving in Austria at Bregenz Airport. Site visitor Ian Johnson points out that this location is actually Farnborough Airport in the UK.

Bond follows Greene through the Austrian streets in the town of Feldkirch in Vorarlberg. He drives along Marktgasse...

....and turns on to the Marktplatz in Feldkirch, Austria, 6800.

Bond follows Greene to the big show. This is the Festspielhaus Bregenz. An eco-friendly center for conferences, meetings & corporate, cultural or social events. It can be found at Platz d. Wr. Symphoniker 1, 6900 Bregenz in Vorarlberg, Austria.

The opera, a performance of Tosca where Quantum utilise the performance to conduct a covert meeting of its members, is located on the Seebuehne in Bregenz, the largest floating stage in the world. This is the other side from the entrance in the previous shot and is floating on the shores of Lake Constance.

Bond is in Italy to see Rene Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini). This fort/house is the Tower of Talamonaccioon, 58015 Orbetello GR in Tuscany, Italy. Bond fans will be pleased to know that you can still currently rent it as a holiday let (June 2022).

Rene and Bond travel to La Paz in Bolivia. The Bolivian suburban scenes were shot in Panama. These buildings are apparently in the grounds of the Panamá Pacífico International Airport (formally the Howard Air Force Base).

Taxi is taking Bond, Rene and now Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton) through a busy suburban area. This is Avenida B, Panamá City, Panama. The turning on the right of frame will take you along Calle 18 Este.

The taxi pulls up at the intersection of Calle 16 and Calle H in Santa Ana in Panama City. This is meant to be Bolivia so one of the local extras on the right has a traditional bowler hat (or derby hat as it is also known) and the mountains in the background are a digital addition to the shot.

Taxi turns and stops outside the 'Bolivar Hotel'. This is not a real hotel but an exterior dressed for the film. The taxi is on the corner of Calle H and Calle 16, Santa Ana, Panama City.

Bond and Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton) arrive at the much nicer Andean Grand Hotel. In reality this is not a hotel at all but is in fact the Ministerio de Cultura (National Institute of Culture) building in Panama City which also shares space with the Teatro Anita Villalaz, a performing arts theatre. C. 5a, plaza de Francia, Panama City, Panama.

Villian Dominic Greene is holding his fund raiser at the Antiguo Club Union En Casco Viejo, Panama. The vehicles have just driven up Avenue Central. The turning on to C. 5a would be just to the left.

The Antiguo Club Union En Casco Viejo, Panama. This shell of a structure (also known as el Club Union) was for decades one of the most exclusive social clubs in Panama City. It was a popular hangout for Panamanian ruler Manuel Noriega. When Noriega's regime was toppled in 1989, the building was abandoned and left to decay. It was mostly demoilished in the early 2010s to allow for the construction of a new luxury hotel (the Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo).

Bond leaves the party with Camille (Olga Kurylenko) but they are being followed. The mysterious bikers are travelling up Avenue Central and are about to pass the Antiguo Club Union En Casco Viejo, Panama.

Bond and the bikers travel along a currently unidentified road, almost certainly in Panama City.

They turn onto another unidentified road and Bond gets ready for confrontation.

Bond cradles the dying Mathis outside a currently unidentified Panama city location.

Ian Johnson noticed that this seems to be Cerro Paranal Airfield in Chile, which is standing in for a location in Bolivia. This is a basic private airstrip that serves the nearby European Southern Observatory. It’s located just next to the B-710 road.

Bolivian residents are experiencing drought in their village. This is apparently Cobija in Chile.

Bond and Camille walking with out of the desert terrain and meet the bus. These scenes were filmed in the remains of the Chiliean city of Cobija in the northern Antofagasta region.

007 gets back to the Grand Andean hotel with agents looking for him. Bond makes his escape and gets a ride from Camille outside. The car is moving along the C. 1a Oeste in Panama City.

After meeting Felix (Jeffrey Wright) who passes along some critical information just before the police arrive to try and arrest Bond, 007 gives the police the slip and leaves via another exit. This street is currently unidentified but seems to be somewhere in Colon, Panama.

The desert base that Greene is using to control the water flow. This is a real building and in real life is the European Southern Observatory (ESO) hotel at Cerro Paranal (or Residencia) and is the accommodation for Paranal Observatory in Chile since 2002.

This is also part of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) hotel at Cerro Paranal (or Residencia) in the Antofagasta region of Chile. It is not a commercial hotel and so members of the public cannot book to stay there. A miniature of the building was also built for the film to allow the filmmakers to destroy it with fire. The interior scenes for this segment were filmed at Pinewood Studios in the UK.

As Bond leaves, Camille walks towards the railway. This is Baquedano, a village in the province of Antofagasta, Chile.

Bond is in a Russian house, about to confront a traitor, Kabira. This was filmed not in Kazan, Russia, but in Aldershot, Hampshire at the Bruneval Barracks of the Montgomery Lines. These buildings were demolished in 2015.
