Dubrovnik turns into King’s Landing for a morning. I love how this tour pairs Game of Thrones filming locations with the real streets and viewpoints, and you get a free Iron Throne photo to keep. I also like the on-the-spot picture comparisons the guide uses, so you can see how the show matched this coastline. One catch: the route has plenty of walking and some stairs, and you’ll likely pay extra for the fort and the Lokrum ferry.

This is a small-group tour capped at 12 people, offered in English, and it runs with a start time of 9:15 am. If you want the Lokrum break from crowds, you’ll finish on the island, with time to explore after the tour’s photo moment.

Key highlights at a glance

• Small group (max 12) with a guide who tells the story clearly
• Fort St. Lawrence (Lovrijenac) is a big focus for the Red Keep and Blackwater Bay look
• Iron Throne photo opportunity included
• Walk past show-famous streets like the Walk of Shame area
• Lokrum Island extension gives you a different pace and a sea-air reset
• You may add entry fees: Fort St. Lawrence and Lokrum boat tickets

Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik: what this 3-hour tour really gives you

This tour is built for one thing: making the show feel real in the exact places you’re standing. You’ll walk through Dubrovnik’s Old Town areas that connect to the King’s Landing look, and you’ll spend meaningful time at Fort St. Lawrence (also called Lovrijenac). Instead of just pointing at scenery, the guide uses comparison photos so you can match series shots to the actual angles and stonework.

The price is $42.33 per person, and it includes the core value: a local licensed expert guide plus the Iron Throne photo opportunity. Where it gets “worth it” depends on whether you already have Dubrovnik sightseeing passes, because a couple stops require paid entry and/or ferry tickets.

If you’re not a Game of Thrones fan, you can still have fun. The experience works because Dubrovnik itself is the star—views, stone streets, and that dramatic fortress setting. But if you are a fan, you’ll get the extra satisfaction of spotting recognizable scenes and filming tricks in real locations.

Finding Dubrovnik Walks at Brsalje ul. 8 before the walking begins

Start time is 9:15 am, which is a smart move in Dubrovnik. The city gets busy fast, and an earlier tour helps you see more without feeling like you’re constantly stepping sideways for other groups.

The meeting point is Dubrovnik Walks at Brsalje ul. 8, marked by an orange umbrella. It’s near public transportation, which makes it easier to reach without a complicated plan. One practical tip: the area around the city walls can feel chaotic with multiple tours meeting nearby, so don’t just stand at the most obvious fountain spot. Walk a bit along the area to find your guide’s umbrella and group before you lose momentum.

You’ll do a brief intro, then head out on your King’s Landing-style route.

Fort St. Lawrence (Lovrijenac) photos and filming angles that make it click

The centerpiece stop is Lovrijenac Fortress, also tied to Fort St. Lawrence. You’ll spend about 30–40 minutes here, and this is where the tour earns its name. The guide focuses on areas used in the series look—think Red Keep and Blackwater Bay—so you’re not just visiting a fortress; you’re learning why these walls and that viewpoint work on camera.

This is also the stop with the biggest practical consideration: the fort admission is not included. The fee is €15 per person, unless you have a Dubrovnik Pass (24h usage) or a City Walls ticket (72h usage), in which case the fort visit can be €0. If you don’t have a pass, decide early whether you want to pay for the full fortress experience, because you’ll likely climb and sit with the views for a while.

Even if the series specifics aren’t your focus, you’ll get Dubrovnik’s feel here: dramatic stone, big sightlines, and that “this is why people come” fortress perspective. Expect moderate walking and some stairs as part of the overall route, so wear shoes you trust.

Pile Gate to Gunduliceva Poljana: show locations in the Old Town flow

After the intro and the first city stop, you’ll move through key Old Town areas that connect to the series imagery. You start with Pile Gate, where the guide gives you a quick roadmap of what you’ll see and share some of the behind-the-scenes stories tied to filming.

Then you’ll step into smaller street and port moments that fans love because they feel like set dressing you can walk into.

Here’s how the mid-walk stops work:

Pile Gate and the quick orientation

You’ll spend about 10 minutes here. It’s brief, but useful. You’ll understand where you’re going and what the “why” is behind each location, so later stops don’t feel random.

Ulica od Tabakarije and the small-port pier feel

At Ulica od Tabakarije, you’ll get around 10 minutes at the famous pier of the old small port in Pile Bay. This is one of those spots that works on camera and in real life because it’s compact and visually specific. You’ll be thinking in scene terms by now, which makes your photos better.

Gunduliceva Poljana market and the Walk of Shame filming point

You’ll hit Gunduliceva Poljana for about 10 minutes, including the Walk of Shame filming location. The value here is not just the name—it’s the feeling of matching where the action played out to where you can physically stand and look around.

Old Town time to slow down

The Old Town stop is about 45 minutes. This is your longest stretch for series coverage, and it’s where you’ll likely get the most “I see it now” moments. You’ll cover Old Town scenes and connections, and you’ll have time to look up, pause, and compare rather than rushing.

If you tend to get photo-busy, pace yourself here. The route is structured, but Dubrovnik rewards small stops. Take a minute when the view hits, not only when the guide says.

Porat Dubrovnik ferry run: a short boat trip that changes the rhythm

By the time you reach Porat Dubrovnik (around 20 minutes at the port area), you’ll shift from walking-city energy to water-and-island time. You’ll buy boat tickets and board the ferry for a short ride—about 10 minutes—to Lokrum Island.

Important cost note: the return Lokrum boat is not included. It’s €30.00 per person. The tour includes the ferry process as part of the plan, but you should budget for those Lokrum boat tickets so you aren’t stuck making decisions at the dock.

This is also one of those “best moments of the day” choices. You get a quick break from crowds and stone streets. Plus, you’re on water, which changes how the light hits everything you’re going to see next.

Lokrum Island and the Iron Throne photo: what you can do with your time

Lokrum Island is where the tour finishes. You’ll spend about 40 minutes on the island, built around Game of Thrones connections—plus a photo opportunity on the Iron Throne located there.

This is a good end to the tour for two reasons. First, the Iron Throne photo gives you a clear souvenir moment without needing extra booking. Second, Lokrum itself feels like a different world from the Old Town: you get gardens, open space, and a chance to breathe.

The experience includes finishing at Lokrum. If you want to stay longer and explore on your own, you’re welcome to do so, but you need to make sure you don’t miss the final boat back to Dubrovnik. In other words: don’t wander off with tunnel vision. Set a time, check the last return option, then relax.

One practical packing tip that came up in guide-day experiences: bring a towel or swimsuit. Lokrum gives you spots to hang out near the water, and if the weather turns pleasant, you’ll want to take advantage instead of just watching others enjoy it.

Price and logistics: how the $42.33 fee becomes a real total

The advertised tour price is $42.33 per person, and that covers the guide and the Iron Throne photo opportunity. Where the budget changes is in the add-ons.

Plan for:

• Fort St. Lawrence (Lovrijenac): €15 per person unless you qualify for free entry with a Dubrovnik Pass (24h usage) or City Walls ticket (72h usage)
• Lokrum return boat: €30.00 per person not included

So, if you don’t have the passes, your all-in cost usually lands higher than the base price because of those two extra items. If you do have Dubrovnik Pass or City Walls coverage, the tour gets more economical because the fort fee can drop to €0.

Also remember the tour is weather dependent. You should expect good outdoor time, and if weather turns bad, the Lokrum part can be affected. One of the big review themes was that the guide tries to handle rain with practical solutions like rain covers for the group.

What makes the guide experience work (headsets, photo book, and stories)

The tour lives or dies on how well the guide connects show scenes to the physical places in front of you. This one has a strong rhythm because guides use a speaker system with headphones (so you can hear clearly even across a plaza or near other groups). That matters in Dubrovnik, where sound can get lost quickly under chatter and street noise.

The guide also uses a book of photos so you can compare series images to reality while you’re at the location. That’s a big part of why fans tend to leave happy: you don’t just hear about the filming; you see how the framing and architecture line up.

In reviews tied to this tour, guides included Alex and Alexandra, and Adrianna also appears as a guide name. Regardless of who leads your group, the common thread is storytelling plus practical orientation—plus tips like where to eat and what to watch out for around peak tourist areas.

Who should book this Dubrovnik Game of Thrones and Lokrum tour

This is a strong match if:

• You’re a Game of Thrones fan who wants filming locations on foot, not just photos from a distance
• You like a structured walk with specific stops and “stand here, see this” moments
• You want a morning plan that ends with a calmer break on Lokrum

It also works if you’re not a fan, as long as you enjoy Dubrovnik’s streets and viewpoints. One review example said the fortress views and the overall walking route were worth it even without having watched the show.

Skip it or reconsider if:

• You dislike stairs and long walks. The tour covers multiple Old Town areas and includes a fort visit.
• You’re trying to keep costs extremely low. The base price is reasonable, but fort and boat fees are likely on top unless you have the relevant passes.

Should you book this Dubrovnik Game of Thrones and Lokrum tour?

If you want your Dubrovnik day to feel themed without feeling fake, I’d book it. The Iron Throne photo is a clear, included payoff, and Fort St. Lawrence gives you the kind of dramatic setting that makes the series comparisons click. The Lokrum finish is also a smart way to end: you get a change of pace instead of being trapped in the densest Old Town traffic all day.

Do it if you can handle stairs and you’re okay budgeting for the likely extra costs. If you already have a Dubrovnik Pass or City Walls ticket, it’s even easier to justify because the fort fee can drop to €0.
