Game of Thrones & Old Town History Walking Tour

Dubrovnik's Old Town is the real King's Landing — every cobblestone, staircase, and fortress played a starring role in HBO's epic. A knowledgeable local guide weaves Westerosi lore with 1,000 years of genuine Ragusan Republic history, making this a genuinely riveting two-hours whether you're a GOT fanatic or simply a history lover.

What to expect

The tour begins at Pile Gate — the very entrance Cersei and Joffrey used — and moves through the Stradun, Fort Lovrijenac ('The Red Keep'), the Jesuit Stairs (the Walk of Shame scene), and the medieval alleyways of Ulica od Puča. Guides are passionate, funny, and deeply knowledgeable; groups are capped small for a premium experience. The optional Lokrum Island extension covers the Iron Throne replica and the island's beautiful botanical gardens.

Beats the ship · vs the cruise line

NCL charges CAD 262+ (~USD 195) for its 'Game of Thrones – King's Landing' excursion. The same calibre of guided tour booked direct runs EUR 43–68 per person — a saving of USD 130+ per person with a more intimate small group. Book direct without hesitation.

Good to know

Morning departures (9–10 am) are cooler and less crowded. The walking tour lasts 2–2.5 hours and covers uneven cobblestones — wear sturdy footwear. If adding Lokrum, allow an extra 1.5–2 hours and factor the 15-minute ferry crossing each way from the Old Harbour. Pre-book online at least 24–48 hours ahead in peak season.
