- So you want to come to Dubrovnik
to see the Game of Thrones locations?
Well, this is the video you're gonna want to watch
to see if it's worth it.
(gentle music)
So the spot that I'm standing on right now
is actually King's Landing Harbor,
and it's one of the most famous places here in Dubrovnik
because it's used for multiple scenes.
They've used it early on in the show
when Sansa is talking to Littlefinger out at the end.
They've used it later when Cersei's out here,
and again for the last episode ever
where everyone is saying goodbye to Jon Snow
as he's about to paddle away
in this little harbor.
- But it's not coming back.
The captain's tired of risking his life
so King's Landing lords and ladies
can get drunk on better wine than they deserve.
I wish there'd been another way.
- You can come see me, you know, at Castle Black.
- I can't.
- You think anyone will dare tell you women aren't allowed?
(dramatic music)
- And right over here.
This one you might not recognize
because it was only in the show for about five seconds,
but it's actually where the Kingsguard are drowning
Robert Baratheon's bastard sons
because they have a better claim to the throne
than Joffrey does, and Cersei wanted them gone.
So this was only in it for about five seconds.
And this one this, this little pier right here,
was in it a good amount.
And so this is what it looks like just before eight a.m.
I wanted to come out here and show you guys this
because I actually came here for the first time yesterday,
filmed this whole thing before,
but there was a lot more people here
and it was not a good time to come.
So I wanted to come out here
and show you a better time to come and see this,
and that is any time before eight a.m.
After like eight or nine, the tours start picking up
and it gets really busy.
So for just 50 Kuna,
you can come into Fort Lovrijenac,
which is essentially the Red Keep or the Red Dungeon.
And you'll see Cersei walking around here.
You'll see Joffrey, and you'll see Tyrion,
all shot scenes in this building.
Right behind me, this is actually where Joffrey stood.
This is supposed to be the Red Keep,
and down here is where all the fighting was going on,
and he was standing here.
You can see a lot of it was a CGI castle added on,
all the top, there was a lot up here.
There was banners as well.
A lot of CGI going on here,
but this is essentially the core of the Red Keep.
So this shot right behind me,
they actually had to flip in post
so that that they could match kind of the layout
of King's Landing, and they wanted it to match,
so they had to do CGI and flip it in post.
So it looks like it's coming from that side
but it's actually this side and then flipped afterwards.
So not a bad view.
For 50 Kuna, you can come to this giant fort.
And not only is it cool
because it's filmed in Game of Thrones,
but you can see the whole old town of Dubrovnik.
This is where we're about to go in.
This is where we just came from down there,
and you can see it's all pretty close together.
So you come here for a day
and you can walk along this whole thing.
- I wish I could stay and celebrate,
but there is work to be done.
- [Joffrey] What work?
Why are you here?
- And right next to Fort Lovrijenac is Gradac Park
where they filmed in season four,
the Purple Wedding where Joffrey is poisoned and dies.
This is the park where they shoot that.
And just down here they had a red carpet
that came all the way down.
They had a giant fountain in the middle
of this little thing which is no longer here, or CGI'd.
(crowd laughing and chattering)
And I would imagine that
Joffrey would be sitting right here all set up,
and with the fort right in the background.
Unfortunately, this is one of the places where,
unless you really are looking for it,
you probably wouldn't know
that this is a scene from Game of Thrones,
but it is just right next to the fort.
So if you want to stop by and see where Joffrey died,
you can check it out right here.
Just by the entrance of the old town,
there's some stairs that come under a bridge,
and this is how you get to the other side
where the Blackwater Bay is.
Right behind me is Blackwater Bay where boats take off,
and now it is used for kayaks to take off.
So you come down to Blackwater Bay and you can take off
in your own little Game of Thrones boat,
but it's a kayak now.
- [Man] May the Warrior give her courage.
(Myrcella sobbing) (seagulls crying)
- Behind me is a Pile Gate,
or the entrance to old town at Dubrovnik,
and it's actually also known as King's Landing Gate.
There was a scene here where the Hound, Joffrey,
and The Mountain and the Kingsguard
are all walking through here,
and there's probably about the same amount of people there
in that scene as there is now.
It is very very popular
because this is the entrance to the old town.
So everyone is piling through here right now
and it is getting crowded.
- [Man] All hail the king!
(crowd shouting)
- Please, Your Grace, we're hungry!
- So right behind me this might just look like
a street leading to a museum,
well, that's what it is.
But it's actually the entrance
to Littlefinger's brothel in King's Landing.
And this is the street where Tyrion and Oberyn
are actually meeting in season four
because Oberyn is in King's Landing looking for vengeance
for the death of his sister and her children.
So they're walking down this path.
Well, right here is the entrance to the supposed brothel.
Now it's just a museum, so if you go in there,
you'll just see a museum, and that's it.
- [Tyrion] Oh, they take all kinds.
- [Oberyn] Even Dornishmen?
- [Tyrion] The king is very grateful
that you traveled all this way for his wedding.
- [Oberyn] Now, let us speak truth here.
Joffrey is insulted.
I am only the second son, after all.
- This is another famous spot.
This is where Cersei did her walk of shame.
If you actually look on the maps here,
it says Game of Thrones iconic walk of shame spot
on the map just here.
It's pretty funny, but unfortunately,
there's some scaffolding over here
and there's a bunch of tables and umbrellas out
where you would imagine the crowd
throwing tomatoes and lettuce
and all kinds of stuff at Cersei
as she walks down here.
But it's pretty cool coming to see these actual stairs.
It looks really cool as well,
and I'm here early in the morning
'cause I gotta check this out early
because soon as midday hits,
this place gets completely crowded.
There's all kinds of people eating and walking through here
and trying to get a picture.
So you have to come pretty early.
And then over on Sveti Sebastijan Street,
you have this staircase right here,
which is one of the streets of King's Landing,
and they use it for those kind of B-roll cutaway shots
of people kind of gathered here, a crowd,
and a guy kind of preaching to everyone.
This is another one of the famous spots here in Dubrovnik.
- [Bronn] This that mind of yours you keep going on about?
- Well, I've never actually been able
to kill people with it.
- Corruption! (crowd cheering)
Yes, we are swollen, bloated, foul.
- And for 200 Croatian Kuna,
you can get access to The Wall,
which I think is probably the best part
of coming to Croatia
because you can walk the entire city.
It was originally made to be a fortress
so The Wall is probably the best part of it.
You can see everything on the inside.
You can see outside, the beautiful harbors.
So while you're walking the walls around Dubrovnik
you'll come across this tower called Minceta Tower,
which they used as the House of the Undying in Quarth
in season two when Daenerys was looking
for the entrance to find her stolen dragons.
So Daenerys was walking around here with Jorah
looking for the entrance.
And it is here on one of the towers
on The Wall here in Dubrovnik.
- Is this a riddle?
- All the places that we've seen so far,
I think this one is the one that is most close
to how it actually looks in the show.
I don't think they really added any CGI here.
It pretty much looks exactly like this,
probably one of the few.
(ominous music)
Also the city of Dubrovnik did not charge Game of Thrones
to actually shoot there.
They were pretty smart
because when they came here in season two,
it was already a big show.
After season one when they were filming in Malta,
they were kicked out of Malta,
so they had to come and find a new city
and Dubrovnik did actually not charge them to film here
because they knew afterwards
all the tourism it would generate.
And it's true because this wall,
it's cost 50 more Kuna every single year,
so this year it's 200, next year it's gonna be 250.
Last year, it was 150, so the prices just keep going up.
The tourism keeps going up here,
so they knew they would make their money back afterwards,
so that's why they didn't charge
the Game of Thrones cast and crew to film here.
So on one of the towers here on The Wall at Fort Bokar,
we actually can't get to it right now
because it's under construction,
so you can't actually get down there.
Typically, you can get down there
and that's where Tyrion and Varys
were discussing defense strategies for King's Landing.
They're right there in that corner
looking up at Fort Lovrijenac,
which we were just at earlier.
And yeah, this is all part of King's Landing,
so usually they would be right there.
But we can't get there right now.
(upbeat music)
On top of the fortress right now.
This Kliss Fortress was actually known
as the city-state Meereen,
which is a slave state where,
they had a giant pyramid on top,
and this was a big part of season four
when Daenerys was, (babbles)
when Daenerys was freeing slaves.
(crowd cheering)
- [Crowd] Mhysa!
(swaying orchestra music)
(upbeat music)
