The Experience

“You know this is Blackwater Bay, right?” our guide Marko grinned, waving his hand at the stone walls above the sea. I’d seen it on screen a hundred times but standing there — the salt air, the sound of gulls arguing over something invisible — it felt different. We’d started by the Amerling Fountain, just outside Pile Gate, and I was still trying to keep track of all the stories Marko had about filming days and actors getting lost in Old Town’s alleys. My friend kept whispering “shame” every time we passed stairs (yes, those stairs), which made some locals laugh. I didn’t expect people here to be so chill about tourists quoting TV lines all day.

Lovrijenac Fortress was next — that’s the Red Keep if you’re keeping score. The stones felt warm under my hands and Marko pointed out where Cersei stood for some big scene (I can’t lie, I forgot which one because I was distracted by the view). Later we walked through more Game of Thrones filming locations around Dubrovnik Old Town; it’s weird how a place can look both ancient and totally familiar from TV. At one point we stopped for ice cream near Sveti Jakov Beach — not part of the official tour but honestly, needed.

The boat ride to Lokrum Island was short but salty; my hair went wild in the wind and I swear I tasted sea spray for hours after. There’s an actual Iron Throne there (yep, you can sit on it), and everyone took turns posing — even an older couple who’d never watched Game of Thrones but were “here for the gardens.” The arboretum outside town was quieter than I thought it’d be, with peacocks strutting around like they owned the place. Marko told us about how they filmed Qarth scenes here; he also admitted he never watched past season five (“too much drama”).

The last bit was a drive up Mount Srđ by van — no cable car queues or crowds. The city looked tiny from up there, orange rooftops spilling down to blue water. Someone handed around homemade rakija (not official, but nobody complained). On the way back down, I kept thinking about how much history these stones have seen — not just dragons and battles on TV, but real lives too. That stays with you longer than any selfie on a throne.
