5 Must-See Stops in Dubrovnik for Game of Thrones Enthusiasts

Discover the real-world Westeros in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where medieval architecture and stunning coastal views created the perfect King's Landing backdrop.

1. Jesuit Stairs

The baroque staircase where Cersei's infamous "Walk of Shame" was filmed connects Gundulic Square to St. Ignatius Church and offers excellent views of the Old Town.

2. Fort Lovrijenac (The Red Keep)

This historic fortress overlooking the Adriatic served as the Red Keep's interior, while its exterior walls depicted Blackwater Bay. Visitors can explore the ancient structure where many pivotal scenes were filmed.

3. City Walls

Dubrovnik's medieval walls featured prominently throughout the series and were a key reason producers chose this location. Walking the walls provides spectacular views of the fortress and sea with multiple entry points available for exploration.

4. Tresteno Arboretum

Located just 10 miles from the city center, this historic garden—one of the world's oldest arboretums—represented the lush gardens of King's Landing and the Red Keep with its manicured hedges and exotic plants.

5. Island of Lokrum

A short boat ride from Dubrovnik, Lokrum Island houses a replica Iron Throne for photo opportunities in its Visitor Center. The island's botanical gardens also served as the exotic city of Quarth in the series.
