You will leave our everyday world and step into the realm of one of the greatest fantasy epics of all time, as you immerse yourself into the drama and intrigue that is A Game of Thrones. An enthralling experience that will inspire you at every turn and leave you in awe.
 * 1) TOUR FROM DUBROVNIK

Our tour will start in Trsteno Arboretum, the oldest arboretum in this part of the world. Located north of Dubrovnik, in Trsteno next to the sea, here you will walk through the palace gardens of King’s Landing, where gossip and intrigue foreshadowed battles. This luscious combination of green plant-life and superb architecture of yesteryear tells tails of royalty.

Then we will take you to King’s Landing, Dubrovnik, latest and official capital of Seven Kingdoms. This is where the kings of Westeros plotted against their own blood and other enemies. Dubrovnik is one of Croatia’s top tourist destinations, ‘The Pearl of the Adriatic’, known for its spectacular seafront location on the Dalmatian coast and breathtaking beauty. UNESCO has placed Dubrovnik under its special protection in 1979. We will walk on Stradun, Dubrovnik’s main street, afterwards we’ll climb on the city walls which completely surrounds the Old town, including the Harbor.

There you’ll see Minčeta Tower, located on a cliff, in series used as a House of the Undying. In history, it was Dubrovnik’s biggest defence tower and sort of a symbol of how the city is ‘free and unconquerable’.

Lovrijenac Fortress was the Red Keep, the residence of the King of the Andals and the First Men. It is located outside Dubrovnik on a 40 m high rock on the shore. At the entrance is an ancient inscription ‘Liberty is not sold for all the gold in the world’. The bay right in front of the fortress was used for the climatic scenes during the Battle of Blackwater.

Only a few hundred meters off the coast of lies the green and lush island of Lokrum, which is only 10 minutes by boat from the old port. The fortress is on the highest point of the island with an amazing view over the protected national park. In series, Lokrum was turned into Qarth, the ‘Queen of Cities’ on the continent of Essos, and the setting for much of Daenerys’ story in season two. Today, you will leave our everyday world and step into the realm of one of the greatest fantasy epics of all time, as you immerse yourself into the drama and intrigue that is A Game of Thrones. An enthralling experience that will inspire you at every turn and leave you in awe. Others will show you only few, but we will show you ALL filming locations.
 * 1) TOUR FROM SPLIT

Start the tour at Diocletian’s Palace in the very heart of Split, built in the glory of Ancient Rome and feel the blood of the dragon pulse through your veins. The Roman palace was constructed by Emperor Diocletian, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has been a high point for world travelers for well over a thousand years, sparking the imagination of its natives, conquerors and guests – much like the cast of Game of Thrones and their crew. Daenerys fought the slave-owner overlords the Mereen and Yunkai with her faithful Unsullied within these very walls, only to return to Westeros as the victorious queen.

Next you will travel to the suburban town of Žrnovnica, once the home to a great number of grain mills, many of which have disappeared since medieval times, but those that survived the test of time have been meticulously restored and are a sight to behold. You will recognize this area as the place where Danaerys’s trusted handmaid and interpreter Missandei had her bathing scene.

Žrnovnica is also a quarry and served as a real-world backdrop for an intense battle in the fourth season of Game of Thrones. After Žrnovnica, our next stop is Vila Dalmacija, a historic villa located on the coast of Marjan Hill in Split, which was used as a set for Dorne in Season 5.

Going north we will come to the free City of Braavos, in reality the small town of Kaštel Gomilica. In series, Braavos was known as a city of waterways, with many islands, canals and lagoons, so that atmosphere was easily captured here in Croatia.

Your tour ends at Klis Fortress, an ancient stronghold built upon stone cliffs atop of the City of Split, a structure that has been the epicenter to some of Croatia’s most legendary struggles throughout history. In recent years, Klis Fortress has found a new role: as the perfect filming location for Danaerys’s stronghold. Once you are there, looking down upon the scenery from the top of the hill, you will feel the sheer power of the mighty Targaryens. Here you will enjoy the traditional Croatian culinary delight of peka – a dish grilled under the bell – fresh, home made bread, local wines and water, and you will enjoy all of this in an actual Game of Thrones ambient, under the torchlight, on an open stage at the top of the fortress, with a breathtaking view of the Dalmatian Metropolis, Split.
