Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones & City Walls Walking Tour
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Experience Dubrovnik · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Dubrovnik feels like Westeros with real stone under your feet. This 3-hour walk strings together Game of Thrones filming spots in the Old Town with the best city wall views above town, so you get both story and scenery in one compact route. I particularly like how the guide ties the show locations to Dubrovnik’s everyday layout, and how Fort Lovrijenac gives you that big “King’s Landing” perspective. One thing to plan for: you’ll walk a lot of stairs and uneven old-stone surfaces, so comfortable shoes and a water bottle matter.
You also get a professional local guide and a private group setup, which makes it easier to ask questions and move at a pace that actually fits sightseeing. The other “heads up” is the city walls ticket: it isn’t included in the tour price, so you should budget extra before you meet your guide.

Game of Thrones Filming Locations in Dubrovnik’s Old Town

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, this is the easy way to make Dubrovnik feel like a map of Westeros. The tour concentrates on the Old Town locations used during filming, so instead of wandering and hoping you’ve found the right spot, you’re guided from scene to scene with explanations that make the places click.
What I like most is the tone: it’s not just trivia. You’ll connect the story to the city’s actual design—gateways, main streets, and key stairways. That matters because Dubrovnik’s charm isn’t only the architecture; it’s how the streets funnel your eyes toward the next view.
One more plus: you’re not stuck indoors or at a museum display. You’ll be walking where people still live, shop, and stroll, which keeps everything grounded in real travel rather than cosplay.

Amerling Fountain to Pile Gate: The Start That Gets You Oriented Fast

You meet at the Amerling Fountain, right outside the Old Town at Pile Gate, near Dubravka restaurant. This is a practical start point because it puts you on the edge of the action without the stress of trying to find a hidden alley entrance.
From there, the route quickly nudges you into the right rhythm: you’ll pass Pile Gate and then move toward the main spine of the city. Even if you’ve already seen photos of Dubrovnik, I find it helps to get your bearings early—because the Old Town’s layout can feel deceptively simple until you’re actually walking it.
This early segment is also where your guide can set the stage: what you’re about to see and why those filming spots mattered to how the show “looked” on camera.
Lovrijenac (Fort Lorvjenac): The Red Keep Shot That People Remember

Fort Lovrijenac is the tour’s big “wow” moment. This fortress is treated as the Red Keep, and the whole point of the stop is to get you the view and the angle that made the show scenes so dramatic.
Expect a guided look that helps you understand why this spot works: it sits where it can dominate the shoreline and Old Town views, and it’s also a major stage for panoramic photography. If you’ve ever paused a scene and thought, How did they get that angle?—this is the place where you get the answer in real scale.
One practical tip: plan to spend a full hour here. That time isn’t random. It’s enough to absorb the fortress story, look out from multiple positions, and take photos that don’t feel rushed.
Stradun, Jesuit Stairs, and Rector’s Palace: Scene-to-Street Connections

After the fortress, the tour shifts into the Old Town’s “walkable theater.” You’ll cover:
- Stradun, the main street
- Jesuit Stairs, a classic Dubrovnik climb
- Rector’s Palace, an important landmark for both city life and show references
Stradun is worth your attention even if you’ve seen Dubrovnik’s postcards already. On this tour, it’s not just a pretty street—it’s the connector. You’ll use it to move between key sights and understand how the city funnels you toward the next big moment.
Then comes the Jesuit Stairs. Yes, they’re scenic, but they also change your perspective fast. Short climbs like this do more than burn calories; they teach you how Dubrovnik’s streets gain height and viewpoint as you move. That’s exactly the kind of “why it looks like that” moment that makes a filming-location tour worth it.
At Rector’s Palace, you’re back in the center of civic importance, and it’s also where show-related references show up in a way that feels logical. In particular, you may find yourself at or near the steps associated with the Great Sept of Baelor—the sort of stop that turns famous set pieces into something you can picture in 3D.
Dubrovnik City Walls Walk: Almost 2 km of Best-View Momentum

The city walls are the other half of why this tour works. It’s not a token wall peek. You’ll do the walk along the Walls of Dubrovnik with photo stops and a guided route that focuses on views rather than just “walking to say you walked.”
The wall portion lasts about 80 minutes, and the wall distance is almost 2 km. That’s enough time to feel like you really left the street level behind and got above the city’s rooflines. Just don’t underestimate the conditions: you’re on historic stone, with uneven footing and plenty of steps.
Bring water and wear comfortable shoes. You’re not doing this in a dressy “look at me” outfit. You’re doing it to keep moving and stay comfortable long enough to enjoy the views.
Also note the money piece: city walls tickets (40 eur) are not included. Plan for that extra cost so the wall segment stays smooth.
The payoff is the photos. Standing higher changes everything—light, perspective, and the way the red roofs and stone details stack together. If you care about pictures at all, this is where you’ll feel it was worth the effort.

Guide Power: Why These Stops Work Better with Real People

A filming-location tour lives or dies on the guide. This one is built around a professional local guide, and the language options are generous: English, German, Spanish, and French.
What I like about the guide dynamic here is the balance: show references plus city context. You’ll get behind-the-scenes style stories that explain what you’re seeing on screen, but you’ll also get enough Dubrovnik background to understand why the city has this layout and why certain walls and buildings matter.
Names that have come up in the guide lineup include Anne-Femica, Desa, and Roko—and the consistent theme is that the guide answers questions and adds extra angles you can use even after the tour. That’s the difference between a script and a conversation.
Finally, the format is a private group. That matters on a route like this, where timing and viewpoints can make a big difference. In a private setup, you’re more likely to get time at the places you care about most rather than being rushed through everyone’s checklist.
Price and Value: What $141 Gets You (and What Costs Extra)

The price is $141 per person for a 3-hour tour with a professional local guide. For Dubrovnik, that’s not just “walking with someone”—it’s a guided route through multiple show-relevant landmarks plus a structured city wall segment.
Here’s the key value math:
- Included: the guide and the guided route with major Old Town stops
- Not included: city walls tickets at 40 eur
That means your true cost depends on the walls ticket you purchase separately. But you still get good structure: the guide handles the route logic so you’re not paying for only one viewpoint. You’re paying for a connected tour that builds from Old Town streets to fortress views to the walls.
If you like Game of Thrones and you also want photos, this is one of the more practical ways to do it. You’re basically buying time and clarity—so you’re spending less time guessing and more time looking.
Practical Planning: Shoes, Water, and Timing the Old Town

This tour is straightforward, but your body needs to cooperate with Dubrovnik’s stone.
Plan on:
- Walking on the wall (almost 2 km) and dealing with steps
- Moving through Old Town streets where surfaces can be uneven
- Spending a solid chunk of time outdoors, exposed to sun and wind depending on the day
So, pack like you mean it: comfortable shoes and water. If you’re the type who gets tired halfway through a sightseeing day, this is where you’ll feel the payoff of doing a focused 3-hour route instead of trying to “do it all” on your own.
For a smoother start, go to the meeting point early so you’re not stressed at Pile Gate.
Who Should Book This Tour (and Who Might Skip It)

This fits best if:
- You’re a Game of Thrones fan who wants to see the main filming locations in the Old Town without guesswork
- You want the best Dubrovnik views from above, not just street-level scenes
- You like guided context, not just “here’s a photo spot” directions
You might consider a different option if:
- You don’t want to walk stairs and cobbled surfaces
- You’d rather explore at your own pace and don’t care about show-linked stops
- You’re not interested in paying extra for city walls tickets (40 eur)
Should You Book the Dubrovnik Game of Thrones + City Walls Tour?
I think this is a smart booking if your priority is a connected Dubrovnik experience: show locations first, then the view that makes Dubrovnik feel like it’s on top of the world. The guide-led flow is what makes it work, especially with the fortress stop at Lovrijenac and the time on the walls.
If you budget for the 40 eur walls ticket and come ready for a real walking segment, you’ll get a lot out of the 3 hours. And since the tour is offered in English, German, Spanish, and French, you’re likely to find a language match that keeps the stories clear.
