Where Dubrovnik Became King's Landing — and You Can Stand in the Scenes

You walk through Dubrovnik's Old Town with a local guide pointing out Game of Thrones filming locations, climb Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep) for city views and photos, then take a boat to Lokrum Island to see the HBO Iron Throne and explore at your own pace. The 3-hour tour includes your guide and boat fare; fort entry costs extra. Bring comfortable shoes and water, and a swimsuit if you plan to swim.

The Experience

There's something that hits different when you're standing in a street you've watched on screen, and your guide is explaining why HBO chose this exact corner of Dubrovnik's Old Town for a riot scene, or how extras were positioned on those stone steps. The Game of Thrones filming locations tour moves through the city with a rhythm that lets you actually absorb the place — not rushing, not lingering too long — and you start to see how the medieval walls and narrow passages became the capital of the Seven Kingdoms without any heavy set dressing. Fort Lovrijenac, the fortress that posed as the Red Keep, sits on a promontory with views that make the climb worth it (there are stairs, and the guide won't push you past your pace), and from up there you understand the geography of what you've been watching.

The tour wraps on Lokrum Island, a short boat ride from the Old Town, where the HBO Visitor Center keeps the original Iron Throne. You get your photo on it — that's the moment most people come for — and then you're free to stay as long as you want. There are two restaurants and a snack bar if you want to linger, and if you brought a swimsuit, Sveti Jakov Beach is there too. Just check the last boat time back to the city before you settle in, because there's no staying overnight on the island. The whole thing takes about three hours of guided walking and talking, with the boat ride built in.

Your guide is a local who knows the set stories — which scenes were shot where, how the crowds were managed during filming, how extras got selected — and that context is what separates this from just walking around looking at buildings. You'll see the Pile Gate where the riot happened, the Walk of Shame route, and the spots that became the City of Qarth. It's not a deep dive into the show's plot, but it's enough to make the locations stick with you after you leave.
