Game of Thrones in Split — FAQ

Why is Split in Game of Thrones?
Split’s Diocletian’s Palace cellars and the nearby Klis Fortress were filming locations for Game of Thrones, standing in for Meereen and the slaver cities where Daenerys freed the slaves and kept her dragons.
What do Game of Thrones tours in Split visit?
They visit the palace cellars (Daenerys’s throne room and dragon dungeons) and often the hilltop Klis Fortress (Meereen), with the filming stories and the sites’ own Roman and medieval history.
Is Klis Fortress worth visiting?
Yes — the dramatic clifftop Klis Fortress offers sweeping views over Split and the coast, rich history, and its Game of Thrones fame as Meereen; it’s a short trip from the city.
