Meeting Point
Pile Gate
- Amerling Fountain at Pile Gate
Fort Lovrijenac & Dubrovnik West Harbour
We kick off the tour by climbing the monumental Fort Lovrijenac, iconic for its role as the Red Keep. Afterwards, we descend to the scenic West Harbour, famously known as Blackwater Bay.
Enjoy breathtaking views from the fortress, hear stories of Ragusan defense strategies, and discover some of the most memorable Game of Thrones scenes filmed here—including Joffrey’s name-day tournament, Cersei’s emotional farewell to Myrcella, and Jon Snow’s farewell to the Stark family. From this vantage point, we’ll also look out over the setting of the infamous Purple Wedding, where Joffrey met his end while celebrating with Margaery Tyrell.
Old town
We will walk through the city gates into the Old Town, where real-life medieval history meets fantasy drama. We’ll discover the site of the dramatic King’s Landing riot against Joffrey, then learn about the history of Dubrovnik’s 15th-century orphanage, drawing a fascinating contrast between the city’s real-life care for abandoned children and the stories of Jon Snow and the tragic fate of Robert Baratheon’s bastards in Westeros.
Green market and Walk of Shame
We will stroll along a lively street lined with local souvenir shops toward the bustling open-air market, where you’ll have the chance to sample traditional Dubrovnik sweets before continuing to the iconic Jesuit Stairs.
At the Jesuit Stairs, we’ll stand at the exact spot where Cersei Lannister began her infamous “Walk of Shame,” while discovering the story of the devastating 1667 earthquake that reshaped Dubrovnik and gave rise to much of its magnificent Baroque architecture.
Dubrovnik Cathedral, Rector's Palace & Church of St. Blaise
We will finish the tour in the monumental heart of the Old Town.
We will marvel at the grand Rector’s Palace, featured as the Spice King’s Palace in Qarth, and discover the filming locations where Daenerys unleashed her fury on King’s Landing. We’ll also explore Dubrovnik’s golden age of trade and diplomacy before wrapping up at Luža Square, beneath the statue of St. Blaise, the city’s beloved patron saint.
End of the tour
We’ll finish on Dubrovnik’s main street, Stradun, surrounded by plenty of options for shopping, cafés, restaurants, and souvenir shops, with the chance to sit on a replica of the Iron Throne and take the perfect Game of Thrones photo.
Ending Point

“Unlock the magic of Dubrovnik”
Ana met us at a central and easy-to-find location. We had wonderful walk through the old town after first taking the cable car to a fantastic overlook (Ana said it was easier to do the cable car first as the rest of the tour would then be a downhill walk--great suggestion). Our pace was perfect and Ana was very engaging. We learned so much! We booked this trip as part of a cruise stop and there is no comparison between the cruise offerings and Ana's personal touch.
