You start in the cellars of Diocletian's Palace where Game of Thrones filmed its dragon and battle scenes, then walk through Split's old streets with your guide pointing out where other shots happened. After that, you drive to Klis Fortress, the 9th-century stronghold that became Meereen on screen, explore the ramparts and views, and return to Split by early afternoon.

The Experience

"The dragons were right here," your guide will tell you, pointing to the stone archways beneath Diocletian's Palace where the show's most iconic scenes played out. The 3rd-century Roman palace sits at the heart of Split, a 1700-year-old city that became Meereen on screen, and the cellars where you start are the exact spot where Daenerys held her dragons and the Unsullied fought the Sons of the Harpy. Your guide carries photos from the actual shoots and walks you through the narrow streets afterward, connecting the stones you're standing on to the stories that made them famous.

After Split's old town, you hop into an air-conditioned van and drive out to Klis Fortress, perched on a ridge between the coast and the inland — the real reason it mattered in Croatian history long before Game of Thrones filmed there. The fortress has been fought over since the 9th century when it was the seat of Croatian kings, and in the series it transforms into the walled city of Meereen where Daenerys rules. Standing on the ramparts, you see why the show chose it: the views stretch across the valley and back toward the sea, and the stone walls feel genuinely ancient and genuinely strategic. The tour wraps up with the drive back into Split, so you're done by early afternoon.

The whole thing moves at a steady pace — cellars first, then the walk through town, then the van ride out and back — and the guide handles the timing so you're not rushed through either location. WiFi on the van means you can grab directions or messages if you need them, and the vehicle itself is the kind of thing that matters when you're climbing around fortress walls in the heat.
