Dubrovnik is, among other things, famous as Game of Throne’s primary filming location. Many of those scenes took place on Lokrum island, which is stunning enough with or without HBO’s filming. One of the best parts of this tour is you sitting on the Iron Throne, which is also on Lokrum, as a part of Game of Thrones Visitor Center, where we finish the tour. While filming, HBO gave the Iron Throne to Dubrovnik city, and it’s on Lokrum island, so if you are a true fan, you have to sit down on it and take a picture.
Before going to the island, we first show you Dubrovnik’s old town and Lovrjenac castle (Red Keep), where the majority of King’s Landing scenes happened. Lokrum is the final part of the tour, and you can choose to stay on the island for swimming or sightseeing, make sure to take a towel and bathing suits along with some sunscreen. Amongst Lokrum’s attractions are rabbits and peacocks that are walking freely amongst visitors.
It is immediately evident, once you see Dubrovnik’s streets that it was King’s Landing, the resemblance is uncanny. From Lovrjenac, we have a gorgeous view of Dubrovnik’s Old Town Walls. Here, you can see just how many similarities there are between real life and the fantasy world.
During this tour, we’ll visit:
– Lokrum island (City of Qarth)
– Pile bay
– Lovrjenac castle (The Red Keep)
– Dubrovnik’s old town
