Fans can explore atmospheric locations such as the Dark Hedges, visit historic Castle Ward, which served as a filming location for Winterfell, and discover the spectacular scenery of the Causeway Coast.

Beyond the filming locations, Northern Ireland offers a wonderful mix of coastal drives, medieval castles, charming towns and traditional Irish hospitality. Whether you want to follow a self-drive route or join a guided tour, this is an ideal destination for combining screen-inspired adventures with the natural beauty and history of the region.

Iceland – Beyond the Wall
With its glaciers, volcanic landscapes, black-sand beaches and vast wilderness, Iceland provided the perfect setting for the icy world beyond the Wall. Several locations around the country featured in Game of Thrones, helping to bring the frozen North and its extraordinary landscapes to life.

Explore the landscapes around Lake Mývatn, discover dramatic waterfalls, or venture into the countryside on a guided excursion. Depending on the season, you could also experience the Northern Lights, explore ice caves or relax in naturally heated geothermal waters.

Croatia – Step Into King’s Landing
Croatia is one of the most recognisable destinations for Game of Thrones fans, with the historic city of Dubrovnik providing the principal setting for King’s Landing. Its imposing city walls, limestone streets and spectacular Adriatic views made it a natural choice for the capital of the Seven Kingdoms.

In Split, the atmospheric cellars of Diocletian’s Palace featured in scenes connected with Daenerys Targaryen, while nearby Klis Fortress provided another memorable filming backdrop. These locations can be combined with island-hopping, coastal escapes and visits to Croatia’s historic towns.

You could spend a few days exploring Dubrovnik before travelling north to Split, taking a boat trip to nearby islands or extending your holiday along the beautiful Dalmatian Coast.

Perfect for: Historic cities, coastal scenery, island-hopping, guided filming tours and Mediterranean escapes.

Further afield, the landscapes around Almería provided the backdrop for scenes set in Dothraki territory. From ornate Moorish architecture to sun-baked countryside, Spain offers a varied journey through some of the series’ most memorable real-world settings.

Combine your filming-location discoveries with tapas, historic neighbourhoods, traditional markets and the vibrant culture of Andalusia. With several locations spread across the country, Spain is particularly suited to a multi-stop itinerary.
