King's Landing and the Iron Throne Group Tour
Walk the streets of Westeros and sit on the Iron Throne in the real-life King's Landing.
This Game of Thrones Dubrovnik tour takes you through the filming locations that transformed this historic Croatian city into one of the most recognized fantasy settings in television history. From the fortified walls of the Old Town to the lush gardens of Lokrum Island, every step echoes scenes from the series.
Dubrovnik's medieval architecture, sea-facing ramparts, and dramatic cliffs provided George R.R. Martin's imaginary world with a tangible, living backdrop. The city doubled as King's Landing throughout multiple seasons, while Lokrum Island served as the exotic City of Qarth, complete with its botanical gardens and sun-drenched coastline.
The tour is structured in two distinct parts. The first covers Old Town filming sites, including Fort Lovrijenac, which stood in for the Red Keep, and Pile Gate, where the iconic Walk of Shame was filmed. The second part moves to Lokrum Island, where the Iron Throne gifted by HBO to Dubrovnik awaits every visitor.
Lokrum is not only a filming location — it is a nature-protected forest reserve inhabited by peacocks and rabbits, lined with rocky beaches, and home to two restaurants and a snack bar. Visitors who choose to stay after the tour ends can swim, explore, and relax until the last ferry departs.
Tour Highlights
Sit on the original Iron Throne gifted by HBO and take an unforgettable photo as a ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.
Visit Fort Lovrijenac, the Red Keep of King's Landing, perched dramatically on a clifftop above Pile Bay.
Walk through the Old Town streets used in key scenes, including the notorious Walk of Shame at Pile Gate.
Stand at Blackwater Bay, filmed below Lovrijenac, site of one of the series' most pivotal battle sequences.
Explore Lokrum Island's botanical gardens, which appeared as the City of Qarth in Game of Thrones.
Travel by official ferry to Lokrum and enjoy a scenic 15-minute crossing to the island from the Old Port.
After the tour, guests may stay on Lokrum to swim, sunbathe, and explore the island's beaches and wildlife.
Tour Itinerary
The tour begins at the Amerling Fountain on Brsalje Square, just outside the Old Town walls near Dubravka gift shop. The guide, identifiable by a blue umbrella, greets participants, confirms reservations, and provides an overview of the day's route.
A short walk leads to Fort Lovrijenac, a clifftop fortress that served as the Red Keep in Game of Thrones. The climb is manageable and unhurried, rewarding visitors with panoramic views over Pile Bay, which was used as the Blackwater Bay battle location.
The group moves through the Old Town, stopping at all major filming sites used throughout the series. The highlight here is Pile Gate, where the Walk of Shame sequence was filmed, along with other key plot locations woven through the ancient streets.
Participants board the official island ferry at the Old Port for a 15-minute crossing to Lokrum. The ferry ticket covers both directions, giving guests the flexibility to return at a time of their choosing.
On the island, the group visits the Game of Thrones visitor center, home to the Iron Throne gifted by HBO to Dubrovnik. The botanical gardens and surrounding scenery that appeared as the City of Qarth are explored with full context from the guide.
The guided portion concludes on the island, leaving guests free to stay, swim, or return immediately to the Old Town by ferry. Lokrum offers rocky beaches, two restaurants, a snack bar, and a peaceful natural environment to enjoy at leisure.
