Visitor Tips

Wear comfortable shoes as the tour involves walking on uneven cobblestone streets and climbing steps.
Bring sun protection. Dubrovnik can be hot and sunny, so carry sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle.
Arrive early at the meeting point to avoid missing your group. Most tours start promptly, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
The entrance to Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep) is not included in the tour and must be purchased separately for around €15, unless you have a valid City Walls ticket (used within 72 hours) or a Dubrovnik Pass, which grants free access.
Keep your camera handy. You’ll come across several iconic filming spots and panoramic views worth capturing.
Be mindful of local customs and follow all site-specific rules, especially at historical landmarks.
Use restrooms before the tour starts, as there may not be many opportunities during the walk.
If you're visiting Lokrum Island, bring swimwear and a towel if you'd like to take a dip. There are no sandy beaches, but plenty of rocky swim spots.
After your tour, take time to explore Dubrovnik’s Old Town at your own pace. The narrow lanes, local shops, and cafes offer plenty to discover.

Frequently asked questions on Game of Thrones walking tours

Do I need to be a Game of Thrones fan to enjoy the tour?

Not at all. While the tour focuses on filming locations and show trivia, it also offers historical insights into Dubrovnik, its architecture, and local legends. Even non-fans will enjoy the storytelling and scenic views.

Is the Iron Throne included in the tour?

Yes, the tour ends with a visit to the Iron Throne replica inside the Ethnographic Museum. You’ll have time to take photos seated on the throne as a souvenir of your King’s Landing experience.

What’s the difference between the 2-hour and 3-hour tour options?

The 2-hour tour covers key locations in Dubrovnik’s Old Town and Fort Lovrijenac. The 3-hour version includes an additional boat ride and guided visit to Lokrum Island, which featured in the series as Qarth.

Is the entrance to Fort Lovrijenac included in the ticket?

No, it must be purchased separately at the entrance for approximately €15. However, entry is free if you have a valid City Walls ticket (used within the last 72 hours) or a Dubrovnik Pass.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Can I take the Lokrum Island upgrade on the spot?

Usually no. The Lokrum Island tour requires advance booking as it includes timed boat transfers. It’s best to select this option when purchasing your ticket online.
