History and Game of Thrones Combo Group Tour in Dubrovnik
Where the stones of old Ragusa and the legends of Westeros share the same ancient streets
This Dubrovnik Game of Thrones walking tour traces the real history of one of the Adriatic's most storied cities while revealing the filming locations that brought a global television phenomenon to life. Designed for mixed groups, it works equally well for those who have followed every episode and those drawn purely by the city's medieval past.
Dubrovnik's centuries as the Republic of Ragusa gave it fortifications, diplomatic cunning, and maritime power that George R. R. Martin has cited as direct inspiration for his fictional world. Walking these streets, the overlap between documented history and invented legend becomes surprisingly tangible.
The route moves from the dramatic clifftop setting of Fort Lovrijenac through the old town gate and along the narrow lanes where production crews transformed a living city into a television set. A knowledgeable guide connects each location to both its historical significance and its on-screen role.
The tour is graded easy and suits a wide range of fitness levels, though a short staircase leads to the top of the fort. The pace is relaxed and the group is never rushed through any stop.
Tour Highlights
Explore Fort Lovrijenac, the clifftop fortress that stood in for the Red Keep in multiple seasons of the series.
Stand above Pile Bay, the location used to film the dramatic Blackwater Bay battle sequence.
Walk the exact route of the iconic Walk of Shame scene through the old town streets.
Discover the medieval architecture of old Ragusa and understand how it shaped one of the most-watched stories in television history.
Sit on a replica Iron Throne at the end of the tour and take a photograph at this fan-favourite moment.
Learn which other major film or television production recently chose Dubrovnik as a backdrop.
Tour Itinerary
The tour assembles at the Amerling Fountain outside the old town walls. Guides carry a distinctive blue umbrella for easy identification, and reservations are confirmed here before departure.
A short walk leads to this clifftop fortification, which required a separate entrance fee payable on site. From the top, the views over Pile Bay — used as Blackwater Bay in the series — are extensive, and the guide explains both the military history of the structure and its role in the production.
The group passes through Pile Gate and moves through the old town, stopping at confirmed shooting locations. The Walk of Shame route is one of several highlights covered during this section of the tour.
The tour concludes at the Iron Throne replica, where every participant has the opportunity to sit for a photograph. This marks the end of the guided experience.
