Embark on a thrilling and engaging guided walking tour of the iconic filming locations from the renowned TV series Game of Thrones!

Despite its dragons, dire wolves, and white walkers, the world of Game of Thrones is not as fictional as it appears. The capital, King's Landing, is largely filmed in the real and breathtaking city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Dubbed the pearl of the Adriatic and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Dubrovnik features a strategic location on the Dalmatian coast and boasts stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture. Since the show's debut, the city has seen a notable increase in tourism, often referred to as the Game of Thrones effect.

After meeting your professional and knowledgeable guide after just a short taxi ride from your Dubrovnik cruise terminal, you will receive a brief introduction before a short comfortable transfer to Dubrovnik Old Town (King's Landing). Here, you'll explore various locations on foot, immersing yourself in the rich history of this spectacular city. Highlights include Onofrio's Fountain, the Franciscan Monastery, St. Blaise, Orlando's Column, the Memorial Room in Sponza Palace, and Dubrovnik Cathedral, offering both TV show enthusiasts and history buffs a fantastic opportunity to experience this magnificent municipality.

You'll also have the chance to enter Lovrijenac Fort, famously known as the Red Keep. Construction of this impressive fortress began in 1018 and was completed in the 16th century. Many iconic Game of Thrones scenes were filmed here, including Joffrey's name day and the Battle of the Blackwater. You'll admire the view of Blackwater Bay and stroll along St. Dominic Street, where Cersei did the "Walk of Shame," as well as visit other significant locations from the series. Before your adventure concludes, a visit to a certified Game of Thrones shop will offer an exciting opportunity to take a photo on a replica of the Iron Throne.

After your amazing excursion concludes, you'll be returned to the original meeting point, where you can catch a taxi back to the cruise terminal to board your ship or continue exploring at your own expense.
