Itinerary
Day 1
Meet & greet — Amerling's Fountain (Pile Square)
Gather at Amerling's Fountain on Pile Square for check-in, quick introductions, and a short tour briefing before setting off into the Old Town.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to find the group at Amerling's Fountain on Pile Square (look for the Traveljaz sign).
- Wear comfortable shoes — the meeting point is on uneven historic paving.
- If arriving by taxi, ask to be dropped at 'Pile Gate' (Pile Gate, Dubrovnik) to avoid walking through crowded Stradun.
Guided history walking tour — Stradun, Sponza Palace & Franciscan Monastery
A guided walking loop along Stradun (Placa) visiting key landmarks of Dubrovnik Old Town including Sponza Palace and the exterior/grounds of the Franciscan Monastery while the guide ties local history to Game of Thrones filming anecdotes.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect short photo stops at Sponza Palace and the Franciscan Monastery; plan for brief pauses instead of extended museum visits.
- Carry a small bottle of water; Old Town has limited shaded seating along Stradun during midday.
- If anyone in your group needs step-free access, notify the guide at meeting — the main route stays on level streets where possible.
Visit to Fort Lovrijenac (Red Keep viewpoint)
Walk to Fort Lovrijenac (St. Lawrence Fortress) for exterior viewing and photo opportunities at the vantage used for Blackwater Bay / the Red Keep. The guide will provide historical context and filming notes while on site.
Tips from local experts:
- The route to Lovrijenac includes steps and uneven surfaces; wear firm-soled shoes and allow a few minutes to climb.
- Bring a light wind layer; the fort is exposed and can be breezy even in spring.
- There is limited seating at the fort; if you need to sit during the visit, let the guide know so they can pause accordingly.
Game of Thrones filming locations & final shop stop
A short walking circuit back through the Old Town to view additional filming locations highlighted by the guide, concluding at the certified Game of Thrones shop in the Old City where guests may take a photo on the Iron Throne replica.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep small change or a card available if you plan to view or purchase merchandise at the shop; some shops accept card payments while others prefer cash.
- The final stop is inside the Old City; expect pedestrian traffic — keep personal items secure and close to you during photos.
- If you want a specific Iron Throne photo composition, tell the guide early so they can help manage brief queueing at the shop.
