Lokrum, Trsteno Arboretum, Azure Window, Essos

Only a few hundred metres off the coast of Dubrovnik lies the green and lush island Lokrum, 10 minutes by boat from the old port. The fortress is on the highest point of the island with an amazing view over the protected national park. In Game of Thrones, Lokrum is turned into Qarth, the 'Queen of Cities' on the continent of Essos, and the setting for much of Daenerys' story in season two.

If you want to wander around the lush gardens of King’s Landing, visit Trsteno Arboretum located in Trsteno, a small village right next to the sea, around 10km north of Dubrovnik. Pretend you're exchanging a secret with court whisperer Varys, as you weave your way between the fountains, vine-covered pergolas, belvedere, pavilions and rich flora in his footsteps.
Malta's Azure Window, located on the island of Gozo, was also featured in the series as the setting for the wedding between Danaerys Targaryan and Khal Drogo.


This incredible 50m high limestone rock arch known as the Azure Window formed the backdrop for Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo's Wedding. It's very popular with scuba divers and anyone waiting to explore the dazzling blue waters around this natural attraction. Apart from Game of Thrones, it has also found fame in films such as Clash of the Titans, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Odyssey.

In the third season, Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of the targaryen dynasty, travels throughout the world of Essos in search of an army. Most of these scenes were filmed in Morocco, from the historic city of Ait Benhaddou, which served as the setting for Yunkai, to Essaouira, which became the slave-trading city of Astapor. Both towns are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
