Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik: a self-guided walk to the filming locations

Dubrovnik’s Old Town was King’s Landing in Game of Thrones. Mappu’s free self-guided walk crosses it from the Pile Gate to the City Walls, and the Red Keep, the Jesuit Staircase and Gradac Park are a few minutes off the route. The Dubrovnik Tourist Board names every place below, with what it stood for in the series.

Where was Game of Thrones filmed in Dubrovnik?

Quick answer. In and around the Old Town, which played King’s Landing. Fort Lovrijenac was the Red Keep, the Jesuit Staircase saw Cersei Lannister’s walk of shame, Gradac Park hosted the Purple Wedding and the City Walls appear in many scenes. Off the coast, Lokrum Island stood in for Qarth, and the Trsteno Arboretum north of the city was the Red Keep’s gardens in seasons 3 and 4.
