Detailed itinerary

Our Game of Thrones & Dubrovnik tours starts next to the Large Onofrio's Fountain inside the Old Town (next to Hard Rock Cafe) where you will meet our representative holding a red umbrella with Dubrovnik Walking Tours sign. After the group assembles our guide will introduce him/herself and off we go to a 90 minute adventure visiting places from our favorite TV show.

Stop 2

From the meeting point we start our walk towards the West entrance to the Old Town; Pile Gate.

The path leading under Pile Gate drawbridge gets you to the docks of King’s Landing. Visit the beach where the royal entourage including King Joffrey, Queen Cersei Lannister, Tyrion and Sansa Stark are at the docks seeing off Princess Myrcella to Dorne, where the Gold Cloaks were ordered to kill all of King Robert Baratheon’s bastards or where Tyrion goes to the city walls (Fort Bokar) with Lord Varys to discuss strategy to win the battle of Blackwater Bay.

We stop at one of the piers of Dubrovnik western bay. This location doubles for some of the Blackwater Bay and the wildfire scenes in the show. Also, it was used for shots of Sansa and Shae when they were talking on the pier about ships and places ahead before Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger) shows up to tell Sansa on how he’s planning to get her out of King’s Landing and back to her family.

Stop 5

Following the descend ack to Old Town the tour takes you through the streets of King’s Landing where Rebellion versus Joffrey took place after he ordered his personal guard to execute the entire crowd. Find the location of scenes following the events of the Purple wedding, with Sansa fleeing to a ship off the coast, Jamie’s return to King’s Landing after his imprisonment, scenes of Littlefinger’s brothel and place where Tyrion speaks with Prince Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne who came to seek revenge.
