Itinerary
Day 1
Meeting point, check-in and brief introduction to the tour and safety.
Meet at Amerling's Fountain (Brsalje ulica)
Arrive at the meeting point. Guide checks reservations, gives a short safety brief and an overview of the route and what to expect. Distribution of visuals (series screenshots) begins here.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early to complete check-in and avoid delaying the group.
- The meeting point is on a paved street (Brsalje ulica); wear comfortable shoes for cobbles and light stairs.
- Carry a small day bag with water and your phone/camera; guides will prompt photo moments.
Stradun (Placa) – Old Town filming locations & visuals session
Guided walk along Stradun and nearby streets. The guide shows screenshots from the series and points out exact filming spots used for King's Landing; guests are invited to handle HBO swords and props for photos in a quieter square along the route.
Tips from local experts:
- The main street (Stradun) is level but sections are cobbled and can be busy — keep valuables secure and stay close to the group.
- If you plan to use a sword prop for photos, secure loose items (scarves, hats) first; guides will handle props safely for group photos.
- Phone batteries run down fast with frequent photos; bring a portable charger if you want many photos or video.
Visit Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep)
Walk to and visit the exterior and accessible areas of Fort Lovrijenac. The guide explains how the fortress was used for filming, and there is time for photos with props while taking in the views over the bay.
- Monday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Tuesday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Wednesday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Thursday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Friday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Saturday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Sunday9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Tips from local experts:
- Access around the fortress includes stairs and uneven surfaces — not all areas are step-free; wear sturdy shoes and allow extra time on steps.
- Weather can be exposed on the fortress ramparts; bring a hat and sunscreen in sunny weather or a light rain layer if the forecast calls for showers.
- If you have mobility concerns, notify the guide when you meet so they can suggest the most level viewpoints and photo spots.
Wrap-up, final photos & Lokrum (Qarth) map handout
Return toward the meeting area for a final group photo, Q&A with the guide, and distribution of the free Lokrum island (Qarth) map with GOT locations and tips. Tour ends at the meeting point.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow a short window after the tour to ask the guide for local tips or directions if you plan to continue exploring independently.
- Keep the Lokrum map with your day bag if you plan to visit Lokrum later; it lists on-island locations and simple tips.
- If you plan to walk the city walls after the tour, be prepared for additional stairs and paid access; ask the guide for the best entrance and line-avoidance tips.

Why this experience
Most Game of Thrones tours recite script and point at walls. This one is different: your guide was actually there. They were an extra on set, or part of the crew, or both — and they can tell you what it was like when cameras rolled, what changes were made for filming, and which shots you're seeing were real vs. added in post. A focused two-hour walk hits Fort Lovrijenac (the Red Keep exterior), Minčeta Tower (Daenerys's tower), Bokar Fortress, and the Jesuit Stairs where Cersei walked to her shame. But because your guide was on set, you get stories the tour companies skip: what the actors were actually like, why certain locations were chosen, what bits of the set are still visible if you know where to look. It's the insider version — not longer, not more elaborate, but with the credibility and context that only someone who was there can bring.
Before you go
- Best time: Spring or autumn (April-May, September-October) to avoid summer heat during fortress climbing and peak tourist congestion.
- Budget: Check the booking widget for current tour pricing. No additional costs, though cafés near major sites are available for breaks.
- Difficulty: Moderate — involves walking cobbles and climbing fortress stairs (37 meters elevation gain). Pace is steady but manageable.
- What to bring: Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), water bottle, light layers for shade and sea breeze, camera for photos.
- Getting there: Meet at Fort Lovrijenac or a central Old Town location (confirmed in booking). Accessible by bus or short walk from the harbor.
- Accessibility: Cobbled streets and fortress stairs are not wheelchair-accessible. Those with moderate mobility can manage with breaks.
Frequently asked questions
What makes this different from other Game of Thrones tours? The guide was actually on set as an extra or crew member, so they share direct experience and insider stories that packaged tours can't offer.
How long is the walk? Typically 2-2.5 hours, moving at a steady pace between the four major filming locations.
Will I learn Dubrovnik history too, or just GoT? Both — the filming locations are the city's most important historic sites, and context matters. Your guide weaves history with GoT stories.
What's included in this itinerary? This itinerary on TheNextGuide is free to read. The guided walking tour includes expert commentary from someone with direct set experience, logistical guidance through major filming locations, and stories about how the show used Dubrovnik's actual architecture.
