Walk Dubrovnik’s Old Town & city walls where Game of Thrones came alive

You’ll wander Dubrovnik’s Old Town with a local guide who knows every Game of Thrones filming spot—and probably some behind-the-scenes stories too. Climb Lovrijenac Fortress for sweeping views over “Blackwater Bay”, walk atop ancient city walls, then slip into palace gardens at Trsteno Arboretum if you choose the upgrade. It’s not just about TV moments—it’s about feeling history under your feet.

The Experience

The first thing that happened? I almost walked right past our group at Pile Square because I was distracted by a cat sunning itself on the stone. Our guide, Ana, waved me over with a grin—she seemed to know half the people in Dubrovnik, or at least everyone passing by. She started us off right outside the Old Town, where you can smell the sea and hear the gulls squabbling above the red rooftops. I’d seen King’s Landing so many times on screen, but it didn’t hit me until we stood under those ancient walls. The stones were warm from the morning sun, and Ana pointed out where they’d filmed that scene with Joffrey (she did a pretty good impression of his sneer).

We climbed up to Lovrijenac Fortress—Ana called it “Dubrovnik’s Gibraltar,” which made me laugh because it’s just sitting there on this massive rock looking stubborn as anything. The wind picked up and whipped my hair around while we looked down at Blackwater Bay (well, technically it’s just the Adriatic, but you get caught up in it). There was this salty tang in the air and for a second I forgot about my aching calves. Someone in our group tried to quote Arya Stark but got it wrong; Ana just shook her head and told us how locals had watched the whole cast wander through these alleys for months. Funny how normal life keeps going even when dragons are supposedly flying overhead.

Inside the Old Town, things got busier—tourists everywhere, shopkeepers calling out in Croatian (I tried to say “hvala” and butchered it; Ana laughed). We squeezed through narrow lanes that suddenly opened onto squares I recognized from battles and betrayals on TV. Walking along the city walls was my favorite part—even if my legs protested every step—because you see all those orange roofs tumbling down to the sea, just like those wide shots of King’s Landing. At one point I leaned over and caught this whiff of baking bread drifting up from somewhere below. It made me weirdly hungry for something other than fantasy drama.

I went for the upgrade to Trsteno Arboretum—a quick drive out of town—and honestly didn’t expect much after all those stone fortresses. But stepping into that garden was like exhaling after holding your breath: green everywhere, old fountains trickling quietly while Ana explained which scenes were filmed here. There were peacocks strutting around like they owned the place (maybe they do?). That soft light filtering through cypress trees—I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy back home.
