Yes, in a sense. Dubrovnik's walled Old Town in Croatia stood in for King's Landing throughout seasons 2 to 8 of Game of Thrones. Fort Lovrijenac became the Red Keep, the Jesuit Steps hosted Cersei's Walk of Shame, and Lokrum Island played Qarth. Guided tours start from €25.
Dubrovnik served as King's Landing for seasons 2 through 8 of the HBO series. The production used the city's fortified Old Town so extensively that many landmarks are instantly recognizable to fans. Fort Lovrijenac, perched just outside the walls across a small bay, was used as the Red Keep exterior. The Pile Gate served as a King's Landing entrance.
The Jesuit Steps in the Old Town were the location for Cersei's Walk of Shame, one of the show's most famous scenes. Kolorina Bay and the West Harbour stood in for Blackwater Bay, while Minčeta Tower and stretches of the City Walls appear in various King's Landing shots. Ferries from the old port carry visitors to Lokrum Island, which stood in for Qarth, with its gardens and monastery used for Daenerys scenes.
Beyond the city itself, Trsteno Arboretum a short drive away served as the Red Keep gardens. It is far less crowded than the Old Town sites and combines well with a walking tour for fans with more time.
Most tours depart from meeting points near Pile Gate or Brsalje Square and last 2 to 3 hours, with daily departures typically around 9:15am and 12:15pm depending on the operator and season. Groups walk between the Red Keep, the Walk of Shame steps, Blackwater Bay and other filming spots while guides point out exact camera angles and share production stories.
Many tours include a photo on an Iron Throne replica, a popular souvenir moment. Lokrum Island is a frequent add-on: the short ferry ride includes a Game of Thrones exhibition plus another Iron Throne replica, and visitors can swim or hike afterward.
Prices start from €25 for 2026. Fort Lovrijenac entry costs €15 extra on some options, though it is free with a City Walls ticket or Dubrovnik Pass, so pairing the two can save money. The Lokrum ferry and entry, around €30, is often separate.
Tours frequently sell out, so booking in advance online is advisable, and some operators offer reserve now, pay later options. Departures are timed, so travelers should confirm the exact schedule with their chosen tour before arriving.
Children under 7 often go free or at a discount, but the routes involve stairs and uneven stone surfaces and are generally not suitable for visitors with mobility issues. Comfortable shoes matter: the Old Town is pedestrian-only and largely stepped.
Travelers staying in the Old Town can reach meeting points on foot from the Pile or Ploče Gates. Cruise passengers should check shore excursion options, some of which bundle the City Walls ticket with the tour.
