Enter the Game of Thrones in Croatia

Introduction to Dubrovnik: The Real King's Landing

Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has gained immense popularity not only for its historical significance and breathtaking beauty but also as the filming location for King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms in HBO's "Game of Thrones." The series, based on George R.R. Martin’s novels, has had a significant impact on tourism in this Croatian city. According to a 2019 report by the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, there was a 10% increase in tourist visits, largely attributed to the show's fans wanting to explore its filming sites (Dubrovnik Tourist Board).
