Scenes in Montenegro (where Casino Royale is supposedly located) were actually shot in Karlovy Vary (western Bohemia, Czech Republic), formerly Karlsbad (or Carlsbad), the most famous spa town in the world, visited by Beethoven and Goethe, who would take walks together there, much to the delight of the people of the town. Bond (Daniel Craig) and Vesper (Eva Green) stay at the Hotel Splendide, in fact the Grandhotel Pupp.
