This walking tour in Dubrovnik focuses on locations used for filming King's Landing scenes in Game of Thrones. The guide, some of whom were extras or stand-ins on the show, shares filming stories and behind-the-scenes details. The tour lasts about 2 to 3 hours and includes a local professional guide and a photo opportunity with the Iron Throne. The tour begins near the Large Onofrio's Fountain inside Dubrovnik's Old Town, where participants meet the guide holding a red umbrella. The walk proceeds to Pile Gate, the west entrance to the Old Town, where scenes from Seasons 2 and 3 were shot, including King Joffrey’s royal procession and the crowd riot. Next, the group visits the docks beneath Pile Gate, a filming spot for scenes featuring the royal entourage and strategic discussions on the city walls. Continuing to a pier in Dubrovnik’s western bay, the tour covers locations used for Blackwater Bay and wildfire scenes, as well as moments between Sansa and Shae. Fort Lovrijenac, which served as the Red Keep in the series, is visited next; this fortress was the setting for several key scenes such as the Purple Wedding and King Joffrey’s tourney. The walk then returns to the Old Town streets where key events took place, including those following the Purple Wedding and scenes involving Sansa, Jaime Lannister, Littlefinger’s brothel, and Tyrion’s meeting with Prince Oberyn Martell. The tour also stops at the site of the Walk of Shame, a notable scene where Queen Cersei undergoes a public penance. This location offers a significant photo opportunity. For guests choosing the optional upgrade, the tour extends with a ferry ride to Lokrum Island. On this island, used as the setting for Qarth in Season 2, visitors see Dubrovnik’s official Iron Throne and learn how the island was adapted for filming. Entrance fees are not included. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for this tour.
