Game of Thrones is easily one of the most legendary television series in the history of TV. The intricately genius storylines were formatted over perfectly from the original books by George RR Marin, but something that really brought the series to life was the scenery.
It’s hard to think of a series that could even come close to the natural beauty that seen in GoT, and what makes it even more fascinating is their use of real-world locations.
If you’re looking to see some of the most iconic film locations in Dubrovnik and Split, then you’re in the right place. We have all the top Game of Thrones tours in Croatia available!
