Where Daenerys Conquered: Klis Fortress & Split's Hidden Cellars

You walk through Diocletian's Palace cellars and Split's Old Town with a local guide who points out Game of Thrones filming locations, then transfer by private car to Klis Fortress to see where the dragon attack scenes were shot. Both entrance fees are included, and the guide handles the pacing so you hit the main spots in 3.5 hours without managing tickets or transport yourself.

The Experience

Our guide Marko stopped halfway up the cobblestone street and pointed to a narrow archway we'd walked past without noticing. "That's where they filmed the slave quarters," he said, and suddenly the stones under your feet weren't just old — they were a set. This is how the 3.5-hour Game of Thrones walking tour in Split works: you move through the actual city, but the guide's knowledge rewires what you're looking at. The tour includes private transfer, so you're not coordinating with a group or waiting at a meeting point; it's just you, your guide, and the locations where the show's Meereen sequences were shot.

The walk starts at Peristyle Square in the heart of Diocletian's Palace, where the palace's entrance fee is already covered. You'll descend into the cellars — the same underground chambers where the show filmed Daenerys and the Unsullied preparing their attack — and your guide walks you through what happened on screen and what actually happened in the 4th century when the Roman emperor built this place. After about 500 meters of walking on flat cobblestone (roughly 80 steps), you move through Split's Old Town, and then the private transfer takes you to Klis Fortress, perched on a cliff about 15 kilometers outside the city. That's where the dragon scenes happened, where Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen launched her assault on the fictional city. The fortress walk is longer — around 900 meters with up to 150 steps — but the views of the Dalmatian coast make the climb feel less like work.

Bring comfortable shoes; the cobblestone is uneven and the fortress path is steep in places. The tour suits all fitness levels, though "moderate walking" is honest — you're climbing, not strolling. Light clothing works because you're moving the whole time and there's not much shade on the fortress. The guide shares behind-the-scenes details and medieval history alongside the show trivia, so it's not just for die-hard fans. If you've never seen Game of Thrones, you still get a solid tour of two major Split attractions with entry fees handled and transport arranged.
