If you\u2019ve ever watched Game of Thrones<\/a><\/em> and thought, \u201cWow, I\u2019d love to visit Westeros\u2026 minus the White Walkers and surprise beheadings,\u201d then step right this way. Many of Game of Thrones filming locations exist in real life, and you can visit them without needing a raven-delivered invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From warm sunny palaces of Dorne to the rugged, storm-lashed Iron Islands, there are a handful of incredible filming locations that you track down in Europe and beyond. So, grab your map, summon your inner Arya Stark, and let\u2019s journey through the real-world locations that brought Westeros to life. And don\u2019t worry \u2013 no Red Weddings here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Where was King\u2019s Landing filmed in Game of Thrones?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Coastal<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Westeros\u2019s capital might be fictional, its real-life counterpart, Dubrovnik, Croatia, is very much visitable (and significantly less dangerous). Dubrovnik\u2019s medieval Old Town, with its towering stone walls and narrow winding streets, was the perfect stand-in for King\u2019s Landing \u2013 and you can explore it on our Best of Croatia & Slovenia<\/a> trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most scenes were filmed in Dubrovnik, with a few additional locations in Spain and Malta did feature \u2013 but if you want to scheme against your enemies at the Red Keep, you\u2019ll want to visit Dubrovnik\u2019s imposing Lovrijenac Fortress, and you can see where Cersei\u2019s infamous Walk of Shame took place at the Jesuit Staircase at St. Ignatius Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Where is Winterfell Castle filmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter is coming\u2026 thought at the real-life Winterfell you\u2019ll likely encounter more tourists than White Walkers. Game of Thrones brought the Stark stronghold to life using two key filming locations: Doune Castle in Scotland and Castle Ward in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doune Castle, Scotland \u2013 the first Winterfell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in Season 1 of Game of Thrones, before HBO had an unlimited budget and CGI dragons, the production team used Scotland\u2019s<\/a> Doune Castle as the first version of Winterfell. This 14th-century fortress, located in central Scotland, also starred in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (if you hear someone yelling about coconuts, don\u2019t be alarmed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castle Ward, Northern Ireland \u2013 the better-known Winterfell <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Production then shifted to Castle Ward, a National Trust property in Northern Ireland. Its distinctive stone towers and courtyard became the heart of Winterfell, where Ned Stark dispensed wisdom (and the occasional execution). If you visit, you can even try archery on the same training ground where Bran Stark first picked up a bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Where is Dorne filmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain! Seville\u2019s exotic, warm climate and historic architecture made it the perfect backdrop for Season 5 of Game of Thrones, capturing Dorne\u2019s sunny Mediterranean vibe. Scenes were primarily filmed at the Alc\u00e1zar of Seville in southern Spain, which served as the Water Gardens of Sunspear, the seat of House Martell. Other parts of Dorne were filmed in nearby city of C\u00f3rdoba and the desert landscapes of Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remember Prince Doran lounging on a sun-drenched terrace while Ellaria Sand plotted, that was filmed in the Alc\u00e1zar\u2019s stunning courtyards. The UNESCO World Heritage site, built in the 10th century, is a must-see masterpiece of intricate tilework, archways, and lush gardens \u2013 whether you\u2019re a GOT fan or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Where is the city of Braavos filmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatia, once again. Besides some heavy CGI, much of Braavos\u2019 real-world setting comes from the coastal town of \u0160ibenik, Croatia, where the city\u2019s medieval architecture, stone alleyways, and beautiful harbor made it the perfect location for the wealthiest of the Free Cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOT fans will recognize St. James Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as the backdrop for some of Arya\u2019s adventures. Though there\u2019s no deadly assassin cult or secret tunnels filled with the faces of the deceased (as far as we know). Visit IRL to see beautiful coastal views, centuries-old fortresses, and eat some of the best seafood on the Adriatic coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Where was north of the wall filmed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s cold, desolate, and full of things that want to kill you. A.k.a. White Walkers, undead giants, and whatever was left of the Night\u2019s Watch morale after that disastrous Season 7 expedition. The real-life \u201cbeyond the wall\u201d is Iceland<\/a>. Several locations across Iceland were used to create the frozen wilderness where winter was always coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most famous filming spots include Vatnaj\u00f6kull National Park, a glacier-filled park. Lake M\u00fdvatn, where volcanic caves and lava formations served as the entrance to Mance Rayder\u2019s wildling camp. And Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site with dramatic cliffs and canyons. Explore the best of Iceland with Trafalgar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Other cool Game of Thrones filming locations to visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iron Islands \u2013 Ballintoy, Northern Ireland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rugged, windswept, and perpetually damp, Ballintoy Harbour perfectly captured the harsh, seafaring world of GOT\u2019s Iron Islands. This Northern Irish coastline served as the backdrop for Theon Greyjoy\u2019s less-than-triumphant return home. If you visit, expect stunning cliffside views and crashing waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\nTour not found.\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Haunted Forest \u2013 Northern Ireland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tollymore Forest Park set the eerie tone for the very first scene of Game of Thrones. It was when the Night\u2019s Watch stumbled upon their first White Walker \u2013 probably wishing they hadn\u2019t! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kingsroad \u2013 Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Images<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most instantly recognizable and most famous Game of Thrones filming locations is the Dark Hedges. Kingsroad is a hauntingly beautiful tunnel of beech trees in Northern Ireland that has been standing for over 200 years. Though the trees have suffered some storm damage over time, the road remains a must-visit spot for fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khal Drogo\u2019s Lands \u2013 Bardenas Reales, Spain & Malta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, to bring the vast lands of the Dothraki to life, HBO turned to the Bardenas Reales. This arid and windswept semi-desert region in northern Spain<\/a> provided the perfect backdrop for Daenerys and Khal Drogo\u2019s nomadic wedding procession. And Malta\u2019s ancient forts stood in for the gates of Pentos, where Daenerys first began her fateful journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
