The Meeting Point Near Pile Gate Sets the Stage

The tour begins at the meeting point near Pile Gate, Dubrovnik’s main entrance to the Old Town. This location is right next to the Amerling fountain and the Dubrovnik restaurant called Dubravka, making it easy to find. Starting here, you’ll gather with your guides who will lead you on a 2-hour walking tour through some of Dubrovnik’s most famous landmarks.

During this initial walk, the guides share interesting facts about filming and behind-the-scenes details, enriching your understanding of the series’ use of Dubrovnik’s scenery. The walking tour covers key locations like the Red Keep, the Blackwater Bay, and the Walk of Shame site. It’s the perfect way to get your bearings and get a sense of the real-life Dubrovnik used in the show.

Exploring Dubrovnik’s Iconic Film Locations on Foot

The walking segment is essential for seeing some of Dubrovnik’s most memorable Game of Thrones spots. As you stroll, the guides explain how various landmarks were transformed into scenes from Westeros. Expect to see the Red Keep’s walls, the city walls used for King’s Landing, and the famous Walk of Shame location.

This part of the tour provides an up-close view of the city’s authentic architecture and scenery, making it easier to visualize the fictional settings. The guides’ friendly banter and quick wit help make the experience engaging, while their expertise enhances understanding of the filming process.

A 15-Minute Boat Ride to Lokrum Island and Qarth

Next, the adventure shifts to the water with a 15-minute boat trip across the bay to Lokrum Island. The boat ticket is included in the tour, and during the ride, travelers enjoy spectacular views of Dubrovnik’s coastline. On arrival at Lokrum, visitors walk through gardens used as Qarth, the fictional city in Westeros.

Lokrum Island itself is a national reserve with lush greenery, but the tour highlights its role as the city of Qarth on-screen. Visitors also get the chance to visit a Benedictine Monastery, where they hear the fictional history of Westeros. This stop is also where you can sit on the Iron Throne, creating a special photo keepsake.

The Car Tour Highlights: King’s Landing and Garden Scenes

The third core component is a car tour in Dubrovnik, offering access to locations that are harder to reach on foot. The first stop is the Trsteno Arboretum, which served as the garden setting for King’s Landing. This historic botanical garden is the oldest in the world and features exotic plants and scenic views.

At Trsteno, the tour guides showcase screenshots from the series to compare with the actual scenery. The visit provides an immersive experience into Westeros’ lush outdoor settings. The tour also visits the abandoned hotel Belvedere, where the epic battle between Oberyn Martell and the Mountain took place—a highlight for fans of the show’s action scenes.

Panoramic Views from Dubrovnik’s King’s Road

The final stop on the car route is the King’s Road, a historic street famous for spectacular panoramic views over Dubrovnik’s Old Town. This vantage point allows visitors to appreciate the city’s medieval walls, rooftops, and surrounding landscape, with plenty of opportunities for photos.

This stop wraps up the tour’s exploration of the film locations, tying together the urban and natural scenery used in Game of Thrones. It’s an excellent chance to reflect on the experience while taking in the breathtaking vistas.

Flexible Scheduling: One Day or Multiple Days

An important feature of this tour is the flexibility to split the walking, boat, and car experiences into separate days. This allows visitors to pace themselves, enjoy each segment without rushing**, and maximize their time in Dubrovnik. There’s no mention of hotel pickup or drop-off, so travelers should plan to meet at the designated location.

The tour is suitable for most physical levels, but those with mobility impairments or back problems should consider the walking and boat segments carefully. Luggage or large bags are not allowed, emphasizing a focus on light, comfortable gear.

Visitors also gain access to Lokrum Island’s national reserve, adding value to the overall package.

Practical Tips for Participants

The activity is conducted in English and offers the flexibility to reserve now and pay later. However, it is not suitable for people prone to seasickness or with limited mobility.

Why This Tour Stands Out in Dubrovnik

What sets this experience apart is the combination of walking, boat, and car segments that together cover a broad range of filming locations. The expert guides’ enthusiasm and knowledge receive high praise, notably for their ability to blend interesting facts with fun storytelling.

The included entry fees and photo opportunities, especially on Lokrum Island, enhance the value. The flexible schedule makes it appealing for those who want to spread their sightseeing over multiple days.

Who Will Appreciate This Tour?

This tour is ideal for dedicated Game of Thrones fans, especially those eager to see multiple filming sites and sit on the Iron Throne. It’s also suitable for history and architecture enthusiasts interested in Dubrovnik’s medieval cityscape and botanical gardens. Travelers who enjoy scenic views and photo opportunities will find this tour particularly rewarding.

Those with limited mobility or large luggage should consider the physical demands before booking. Since food and drink are not included, it’s wise to plan for meals separately.

Dubrovnik: The Ultimate Series Sightseeing Journey
