Excursion Game of thrones discovery on foot tour at Dubrovnik
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Welcome to King's Landing and become part of the epic HBO series Game of Thrones.
The Old Town is so stunningly striking that it seems to have leapt directly from the pages of George R. R Martin's addictive series of novels and it is no coincidence that Dubrovnik was also a capital city in its own right - of the now extinct Republic of Ragusa. On this tour, you will be taken through all the parts of the Old City where some of the most memorable scenes from the ongoing cultural phenomenon were filmed.
Old Town of Dubrovnik, Pile Gate, Lovrijenac Fort, City Walls
The sights seen will include The Pile Gate where King Joffrey faced a citizens' riot and the Lovrijenac fort, where the unsuccessful attack on King's Landing, known as the Battle of Blackwater, took place. All of the filming locations and commentary from your local guide will be accompanied by large, A4-sized photos that show the screen-shot from the appropriate episode and what took place. Of course, the people of Dubrovnik are also fiercely proud of their own fascinating history which your guide will also inform you about, alongside the Game of Thrones commentary.
Tour will conclude at the Stardun (main city street) and will have opportunity to explore the town on your own or take the tender boat back to the ship.
