1. Game of Thrones filming location - Park Gradac
Purple Wedding
This is our local park with the most beautiful view overlooking the Old Town.
2. Dubrovnik (King's Landing) City Walls
Visit fort Bokar, Lovrijenac & Minčeta
Dubrovnik city walls are a must-see for any person visiting Dubrovnik. However, we suggest you to kill two birds with one stone since Dubrovnik city walls were used as a filming location in almost every season of Game of Thrones.
Most popular filming spots were three forts: Bokar, Lovrijenac and Minčeta.
Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep)
Fort Lovrijenac (or the Red Keep from Game of Thrones show) was the filming location for numerous scenes. For one thing, celebration of Jeoffrey’s name day was here. Also this is where all the schemes and plotting against Tyrells started.
Fort Bokar
Since fort Bokar is part of the Dubrovnik city walls it was used a lot as a filming location for Game of Thrones. As it overlooks the Blackwater Bay, this was the place where Tyrion and Varys tried to think of the best strategy to defend King’s Landing in the Battle of Blackwater. Finally, in the last season, on this spot was where Cersei found out that the White Walkers have managed to breach through the Wall.
Fort Minčeta
Fort Minčeta (or House of the Undying from Game of Thrones) was the filming location for two important scenes. One of them was Daenerys coming to the House of Undying to look for her stolen dragons. Second was Jon Snow being released from prison for killing Daenerys in the final season.
Important Info for Dubrovnik City Walls:
You need a ticket to enter the Dubrovnik city walls and visit the most iconic Game of Thrones filming locations.
However, we suggest that you buy a Dubrovnik Card because it costs just a tiny bit more, but it gets you a “hall pass” for many sites, museums and even local transport (so you actually save money in the long run).
It also gets you a 20% discount for the Game of Thrones-themed escape room!
3. Game of Thrones filming location - Pile Bay + Beach
See King's Landing from the sea perspective and visit Lokrum Island
Pile Bay and the nearby beach are probably the most used locations in filming the Game of Thrones series.
Pile Bay is actually the Blackwater Bay, in fact this is where the famous battle took place. It is the scene place of all the boats departing from King’s Landing.
In case you want to linger there for a while and enjoy the monumental view of the bay, go to one of the two nearby cafes – Dubravka or The Kop.
4. Game of Thrones filming location - Dubrovnik Old Town
Pile Gate
Pile Gate is one of the main entrances to the Old Town. In fact, you can easily recognise this filming location from the famous riot scene in Game of Thrones when the poor and hungry people turn on King Joeffrey.
Museum Rupe
Museum Rupe is an ethnographic museum. In Game of Thrones, Oberyn confessed to Tyrion on this filming location that he came to seek vendetta for his dead sister and her children.
Jesuite Stairs
Jesuite Stairs is the place of the infamous Walk of Shame, one of the most popular filming locations & scenes in Game of Thrones. You will almost be able to hear the ringing of the “shame bell” when you get there. The only thing missing would be scandalously naked queen Cersei.
Rector’s Palace
Rector’s Palace is a filming locations for a few Game of Thrones scenes. In particular, the interior of the Rector’s palace features in a scene where Daenerys comes to ask the Spice King for ships.
St Dominic’s Street
Coming into the Old Town from Ploče gate, there is a small bridge-like passage that served as the entrance to the Red Keep. Further on, there is an oval set of stairs in front of Dominican Monastery where the protests against the Lannisters started.
5. Kingdom of Qarth - Lokrum Island
take a day trip to this magical island
This Game of Thrones filming location is a glimpse into the Kingdom of Qarth, but it is also a beautiful green island across Old town Dubrovnik

6. Game of Thrones filming location - Hotel Belvedere Dubrovnik
Visit this abandoned hotel’s exterior and accompanying rocky beach in the afternoon.
The sunset from there is amazing and the view of the Old Town is even more breathtaking!
This filming location in Game of Thrones hosted the battle between Oberyn Martell and the Mountain. Unfortunately, we all know how that one ended. Bring some flowers in Oberyn’s honor when you visit!
7. Game of Thrones filming location -Trsteno Arboretum (near Dubrovnik)
If you ever imagined what it would be like to be Lady Olenna Tyrell, head out to her residence in Trsteno arboretum (20 min drive from Dubrovnik)! Any Game of Thrones scene where she is walking, scheming and plotting surrounded by beautiful flowers and a nice view – was filmed in the Arboretum.
IMPORTANT INFO: You will need to buy a ticket at the entrance: 50kn adults, 30kn children and students.
