Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Tour & Lokrum Island Ferry
Summary
Wander Dubrovnik’s filming sites, ferry to Lokrum, claim the Iron Throne
You’ll walk Dubrovnik’s old town with a local guide, climb Fort Lovrijenac where epic scenes were filmed, then catch a ferry to Lokrum Island for your Iron Throne photo. Expect stories, laughs, and moments that feel straight out of Westeros—but with real sun on your face.
I didn’t expect to laugh so much on a Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik. We started near Pile Gate, where our guide Ana handed out these battered photo books—she called them her “battle plans.” The city was waking up, stone alleys still cool underfoot. She pointed out the first filming spot and I caught a whiff of seaweed from the old port. It’s weird how TV makes places look bigger; here, everything felt close enough to touch.
Climbing up to Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep), my legs were already grumbling but Ana distracted us with stories about extras and costume mishaps—apparently one guy lost his helmet in the Adriatic. There’s this moment when you turn and see the city walls drop into blue water below; it’s not just about dragons or thrones then, it’s just… real. I tried to imagine Blackwater Bay battles while a group of local kids played football nearby—life going on around all this history and make-believe.
The boat ride to Lokrum Island was only ten minutes but felt longer because everyone was buzzing about who’d get their Iron Throne photo first. The island itself smells like pine needles and salt. We wandered through peacocks (actual peacocks!) before reaching the throne room. My friend tried a dramatic pose; Ana laughed and said she’d seen better Lannisters but snapped our photos anyway. I still think about that view back toward Dubrovnik from Lokrum—it looked both ancient and alive.
