Game of Thrones spots are right here in Dubrovnik. This small-group Dubrovnik Walks tour connects real locations used as King’s Landing, from Pile Gate to Lovrjenac Fortress, and ends with a photo on the Iron Throne. You also get a Lokrum island extension option, so your morning mixes TV-world details with actual Adriatic scenery.

I especially love the on-the-ground comparison style. The guide shows pictures from the series and lets you match the scenes to what you see nearby, so it clicks fast whether you watched every episode or only caught a few.

One thing to plan around: you’ll likely pay extra if you want the fortress entry and the return ferry to Lokrum, plus there’s a fair amount of walking and stairs. If weather turns, Lokrum may be affected, since the experience runs best with good conditions.

Key highlights to focus on

• Iron Throne photo opportunity in Lokrum, included in the tour price
• On-site filming comparisons using a photo book so you can see the real angles behind the scenes
• Small group size (max 12) for better pacing and easier Q&A
• Lovrjenac Fortress time on the fort (about 30–40 minutes) and the scenes it references
• Lokrum island added at the end, with time to explore on your own before your ferry back

Meeting at Brsalje: finding your Dubrovnik Walks guide fast

The tour starts at 9:15 am at Dubrovnik Walks, marked by an orange umbrella at Brsalje ul. 8. This area is outside the core old-town flow, so it can feel busy with multiple tour groups around. The practical move is to walk a bit past the closest crowd point and look for your guide’s orange umbrella, not just the nearest landmark fountain.

You’ll receive a mobile ticket after booking, and the tour is offered in English. It’s also listed as near public transportation, which is helpful if you’re arriving from another part of Dubrovnik and don’t want to hunt for parking.

Walking King’s Landing: Pile Gate, the Shame steps, and Old Town scenes

This is a morning walk designed for spotting details, not speed-walking through photo ops. You’ll meet at Dubrovnik Walks for a quick intro, then head out to the gates and streets that shaped the on-screen feel of King’s Landing.

At Pile Gate, the guide sets expectations and explains what locations you’ll be covering, along with stories that connect Dubrovnik’s stone streets to the show’s visual language. It’s a good place to pay attention early, because you’ll soon start seeing how filmmakers reused angles, walls, and stair geometry.

Then you’ll move into the old harbor and markets areas:

• You’ll pass by Ulica od Tabakarije, described as a famous pier of the old small port in Pile Bay. This is the kind of spot where the city’s “working harbor” energy helps the scenes make sense.
• Next is Gundulićeva Poljana Market, known as a filming location for the Walk of Shame. Even if you don’t know the exact moment, you’ll understand the layout and why it photographed so well.

Old Town is where the tour really helps you orient. You’ll spend about 45 minutes covering old-town scenes and tying them back to the show locations, while still getting the Dubrovnik context that keeps it grounded.

Practical note: expect crowds in the old town, especially later in the day. Starting at 9:15 am is a real advantage because the streets are easier to move through and the light can be more forgiving for photos.

Lovrjenac Fortress: where the series matches the real angles

The biggest “set-meets-city” stop is Lovrjenac Fortress. Plan on about 30–40 minutes here, because you’re not just looking up at walls—you’re actually standing on a vantage that the show repeatedly referenced.

This fortress is tied in the tour to several familiar on-screen references, including Red Keep and Blackwater Bay. The guide brings a book of photos and has you compare the series scene to the view in front of you, which is a smart way to understand how production choices—camera height, framing, and timing—change what you think you’re seeing.

Here’s the practical part: the fortress admission is not included. Fort St. Lawrence is listed at €15.00 per person, but it can be free if you have a valid Dubrovnik Pass (24h usage) or a City Walls ticket (72h usage). If you already plan to do the walls, this could be an easy win—check your ticket before you arrive so you don’t pay twice.

Porat Dubrovnik and the short ferry to Lokrum

After the walking portion, you’ll head to Porat Dubrovnik, the old town port area. The tour includes the timing to buy your boat tickets and catch a ferry that’s about a 10-minute ride to Lokrum.

The ferry cost is the one big add-on here: the return Lokrum boat is €30.00 per person and it’s not included. You’ll want to treat this as a scheduled step of your day, because the tour ends on Lokrum Island.

And that matters for your plans: you’re finishing on Lokrum, so if you stay longer you must not miss the final boat back to the city.

Lokrum Island: downtime, gardens, and an Iron Throne moment

Lokrum is a small island just off Dubrovnik, and the tour uses it as a breather from street-level walking. You’ll spend about 40 minutes exploring the island through a Game of Thrones lens, then wrap up with the included photo opportunity on the Iron Throne on Lokrum.

This part feels different from the old town. You can move at your own pace after the guide points you toward the GoT-related spots, and you’ll have a little time to relax rather than constantly listen and walk. Based on what people describe, it’s also a great place to cool down, since there are spots where swimming or soaking in the water can be an option.

If you want to make this segment more comfortable, bring a towel and consider swimwear. Lokrum is an island stop—people tend to treat it like one.

Price and value: what you pay for at $42.33 (and what you should budget)

At $42.33 per person for a roughly 3-hour tour, the price is mostly buying three things: a professionally licensed expert guide, a structured Game of Thrones walking route, and the included Iron Throne photo moment.

The items that can increase your total cost are straightforward:

• Lovrjenac Fortress admission (Fort St. Lawrence): €15 per person unless your Dubrovnik Pass or City Walls ticket covers it.
• Lokrum ferry return: €30 per person not included.

So the best value scenario is when you already have (or plan to buy) a Dubrovnik Pass or City Walls ticket. If you’re not planning to do either, budget extra on day one so the fortress and Lokrum don’t feel like surprises.

Also, the tour caps at 12 travelers, which matters. Smaller groups are easier in old town streets and make it simpler for the guide to keep track of the whole group and manage questions. If you’ve ever been stuck behind people during a filming-location walk, you’ll appreciate this.

One more practical value point: the guide experience seems to be a big reason people rate this so highly. Several mentions include entertainment plus helpful tech like a speaker system with headphones, so you can hear instructions without constantly craning your neck.

Pacing, stairs, and weather reality in Dubrovnik

This tour expects moderate physical fitness. That usually means stairs and uphill stretches, and you’ll feel it even if you’re used to city walking. If you don’t enjoy lots of steps, you’ll still be able to do it—but you should prepare with comfy shoes and a slower pace than you might normally take.

Weather is another real factor. The experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. One earlier experience also included rain covers to protect the group, but you shouldn’t count on Lokrum every time if conditions are rough—think of Lokrum as the bonus, not the guarantee.

Who should book the Dubrovnik GoT walk plus Lokrum

This tour is a strong fit if:

• You’re a Game of Thrones fan and want the show locations explained in real-world terms.
• You like Dubrovnik as a place, not just as a backdrop, and you want the old-town orientation that comes from guided storytelling.
• You want a small-group morning with structured stops rather than a free-for-all.

It can also work even if you’re not a GoT hardcore watcher, because the stops are tied to Dubrovnik’s layout and the fortress views. A lot of value here comes from how the guide connects TV framing to what’s physically in front of you.

Skip or rethink if:

• You hate stairs and long walking segments.
• You’d rather spend the afternoon with zero add-on fees. (Between the fortress admission and the Lokrum ferry, it’s easy to spend more than the base tour price.)

Before you go: small packing tips that save your day

Wear shoes with grip. This is a stone-city walking route with steps. Bring water and a light layer—mornings can start cooler and then warm up quickly once you’re moving.

For Lokrum, plan for island time: towel/swimwear if you want to use the water. For photos, start by watching where the guide places you; the whole point is getting the right angle for those GoT comparisons.

Should you book this Dubrovnik Game of Thrones and Lokrum tour?

I think you should book if you want a guided Game of Thrones experience that stays grounded in Dubrovnik’s real streets and viewpoints. The included Iron Throne photo is a fun souvenir, and the photo-comparison approach helps you actually understand how scenes were built rather than just collecting random landmarks.

If you’re already planning fortress/walls tickets and you’re comfortable with walking, this becomes one of the better value ways to get both show locations and a calmer island break at Lokrum. If you’re sensitive to extra costs or you’d rather avoid stairs, then consider a different format—or build your day budget knowing you’ll likely add the fortress entry and the ferry.

In short: for GoT fans (and Dubrovnik lovers), this is a smart, small-group morning that ends with a genuinely different stop on Lokrum.
