Where was Game of Thrones filmed in Dubrovnik?

Most King's Landing scenes were shot in and around the Old Town: the Jesuit Staircase (Walk of Shame), the old port (Blackwater Bay), Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep), the Minčeta Tower (House of the Undying), Lokrum island (Qarth) and the Trsteno Arboretum (the Red Keep gardens).

Is a Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik worth it?

Yes — the locations are unmarked, so without a guide holding up set stills you would walk straight past most of them. Standard walking tours cost around €25–€35 for two hours, and several guides worked as extras on the show.

Can you sit on the Iron Throne in Dubrovnik?

An official Iron Throne replica stands in the Benedictine monastery on Lokrum island, a 10-minute boat ride from the old harbour. Ferries run roughly every half hour from April to November, and several GoT combo tours include the crossing.

Dubrovnik Game of Thrones Itinerary: A Day in King's Landing

Dubrovnik played King's Landing for six seasons of Game of Thrones, and most filming locations sit within a ten-minute walk of each other. This one-day itinerary covers the Walk of Shame steps, Fort Lovrijenac, the Iron Throne on Lokrum and the Trsteno gardens — with the best-rated GoT tours to book for each.

Morning: a King's Landing walking tour

Start with a guided Game of Thrones walking tour through the Old Town — from around €27 for two hours. Guides carry set photos so you can match each street to its scene: the Jesuit Staircase where Cersei began the Walk of Shame, Blackwater Bay from the old port, and the Minčeta Tower that stood in for the House of the Undying. Morning slots beat both the heat and the cruise-ship crowds.

Midday: Fort Lovrijenac, the real Red Keep

Just outside the Pile Gate, the 37-metre sea cliff of Fort Lovrijenac doubled as the Red Keep — Joffrey's name-day tournament was shot on its ramparts. Entry is included with a city walls ticket, or several filming-locations tours take you inside with commentary. The view back across Blackwater Bay to the walls is the best GoT photo in the city.

Afternoon: sail to Qarth or sit the Iron Throne

Lokrum island, a 10-minute boat ride from the old harbour, played the trading city of Qarth — and its Benedictine monastery now holds an official Iron Throne replica. Combo tours pairing the walking route with a Lokrum visit start from around €19; for something grander, board the replica Karaka galleon that appeared on screen in the series — a cruise-plus-walking-tour combo runs from around €43.

Evening option: the gardens of Trsteno

If you have a car or join a full-day tour, the 15th-century Trsteno Arboretum — 20 minutes up the coast — served as the Red Keep gardens where the Tyrells plotted. Full-day GoT tours bundle Trsteno with Lokrum and Mount Srđ from around €100. Book a day or two ahead in July and August — small-group departures are capped at 8–12 people and sell out fast.
