💡 The Short Version: Dubrovnik’s Old City was King’s Landing, and most locations are free to see (Dubrovnik Tourist Board). Fort Lovrjenac was the Red Keep and is in the City Walls ticket (€40 an adult for visit dates from 7 to 30 November 2026 and €20 in December, official webshop). The Jesuit Staircase (Cersei’s Walk of Shame) and Gradac Park (the Purple Wedding) are free. Lokrum has an Iron Throne replica for €30 including the boat, and Trsteno Arboretum, the Red Keep gardens, is about 20 minutes north. Or book a tour: Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Tours + Lokrum & Iron Thronead (from €22, 4.9 stars from 7,914 reviews) walks the filming locations in 1.5 to 3 hours, with a Lokrum option for the throne.
⚠️ The walls and Lovrjenac close at the end of working hours, which is also the last entry. The winter period runs from 1 November to 31 March, so a late-afternoon visit in winter can miss them (Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities). The hours are on the City Walls page.

Tours from Dubrovnik
A tour beats the self-guided route when you want scene-by-scene comparisons and stories: the Tourist Board says guides use photos and tablets to compare scenes, and some of them worked as extras. Walking the free locations alone costs nothing.

Route on foot
- Fort Lovrjenac, west of Pile Gate. The Tourist Board says it doubled as the Red Keep, where many power plays and confrontations were set. The operator describes a detached fortress on a 37 m rock whose first preserved mention dates from 1301 (operator). It is in the City Walls ticket, and the Lovrjenac guide has the details.
- Gradac Park, behind the fort. The Tourist Board names it as the backdrop for King Joffrey’s Purple Wedding, and describes a peaceful, green park with views of the coastline and the fort.
- Pile Gate and the City Walls. The Tourist Board says the walls featured in numerous scenes and let the filmmakers suggest a sprawling capital. The walls are 1,940 m long and up to 25 m high in places (operator).
- The Jesuit Staircase. The Tourist Board describes a baroque staircase leading to St Ignatius Church, and the setting of Cersei Lannister’s Walk of Shame. It starts at Gundulić Square, behind the cathedral, and the Stradun walk includes it.

Beyond the walls
- Lokrum: the Tourist Board says the island was used for scenes set in Qarth, and that it has a replica of the Iron Throne visitors can sit on. It is reached by boat from the Old Port, and the Lokrum guide has the ferry times. The Tourist Board suggests going early in the day to reach the throne without a queue.
- Trsteno Arboretum: the Tourist Board says it is about 20 minutes north of Dubrovnik and doubled as the palace gardens of the Red Keep in seasons 3 and 4, the Tyrell gardens where Sansa meets Lady Olenna. The county tourist board describes an arboretum established in 1948 on the former estate of the Gučetić-Gozze family, with a Renaissance garden and villa on 25.61 hectares and about 465 plant taxa (Dubrovnik-Neretva County Tourist Board). Dubrovnik bus station lists Libertas buses to Trsteno taking about 25 minutes for €3.10 (bus station). It fits into the day trips from Dubrovnik.
