Game of Thrones's Shooting place - Dubrovnik Old Town

If you are a loyal fan of the American television drama Game of Thrones, you are going to find everything familiar when you are in Dubrovnik Old Town, a famous tourist destination in Croatia. Dubrovnik is the filming location of King’s Landing of this renowned television series. When standing at “King’s Landing”, it feels like the dramatic scenes of this drama come to life.

The walled old town towering at the shore of the Adriatic Sea is absolutely imposing. This unique city-state was the only rival of Venice in the Adriatic Sea. The tangerine-roof-topped buildings bring to Dubrovnik, the centre of language and literature of Croatia, the warmth of elegance. Walking along Stradun, the main street of Dubrovnik Old Town, from Dubrovnik Cathedral to Rector's Palace, you will find out how this magnificent and elegant King’s Landing has become the capital of the “Seven Kingdoms”.

Apart from Dubrovnik, a “site of pilgrimage” for fans of the Game of Thrones, the Diocletian’s Palace in the city of Split is also a prominent filming location of the television drama. It is where you can have a glimpse of the daily life of an emperor in the old days as well.

This ancient palace, which is located at the shore of the Adriatic Sea, was the retirement residence of the Roman emperor Diocletian. Boasting a fabulous seaview, it is indeed an excellent place for an emperor to look back at his heyday. Unfortunately, the palace suffered from huge damage during the invasion of the Pannonian Avars. In 1979, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The remains of the palace are still the historical core of Split today.
