An intimate, private journey through Westeros

This tour is designed to get you off the usual tourist trail. Starting next to Onofrio’s Large Fountain — a famous Dubrovnik landmark — you’ll meet your guide and begin a journey through the city’s most cinematic and historical landmarks. With a maximum of two people per group, your guide can customize the experience, answer your questions, and take you to locations that large group tours often overlook.

Walking through the City of Dubrovnik

The Old Town of Dubrovnik is a living museum, with its massive stone walls, narrow winding streets, and baroque buildings. The tour combines seeing these historic spots with specific Game of Thrones filming sites, making it a perfect blend of reality and fantasy.

Key filming locations

Pile Gate: This grand entrance to the Old Town is the gateway to many Westeros scenes, especially the entrance to King’s Landing. Standing here, you get a sense of the bustling hub of the city. Your guide will explain how this site was transformed on screen and what it represents in the real city.

Fort Lovrijenac: Towering on a cliff, this fortress served as the Red Keep in the show. We loved the way its rugged walls and commanding views make it clear why it was chosen — it looks like a castle straight out of a fantasy epic. You’ll learn about its history and how it’s still part of Dubrovnik’s defense.

Onofrio’s Large Fountain & Kolorina: These spots aren’t just cinematic backdrops but are also integral to Dubrovnik’s history. The fountain, built during the 15th century, supplied drinking water to the city — and now gives a scenic setting for your photos.

Church of St. Ignatius: While not a filming location, this beautiful baroque church adds to the tour’s cultural richness, offering a chance to appreciate Dubrovnik’s architectural beauty beyond the screens.
