Game of Thrones experiences you can’t miss!
The final season of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones is almost here and our biggest worry is coping with the withdrawals after it all ends. For all of us die hard GoT fans, here are some experiences you can partake in to fill the holes in your hearts on empty Sunday nights.
What better way to relive the best moments of the show than to visit the Game of Thrones filming locations! Seville, Spain, Iceland and even Croatia, these cities are home to some of the most iconic moments of the show.

The Grjótagjá Geothermal caves at Lake Mývatn known better to Game of Thrones fans as the place where Jon Snow and Ygritte had their romantic rendezvous moment. In this geothermal cave, you can join the locals in a steam bath to soothe your muscles after a long flight. Who needs massages when you have a natural indoor hot spring!
Pre-book your Lake Mývatn hike and your Grjótagjá caves bath and let the local guide take you through the beautiful Lake Mývatn where you’ll pass plenty of caves and fissures. It also includes the geothermal caves and nature baths! We’d recommend picking the package with transfers included so you won’t have to navigate your own way there.
2. Alcazar of Seville, Spain

The Alcazar of Seville, or should we say the summer home of the royal Martell family, is one of the most lavish royal palaces in the city. The beautiful Dorne Sunspear exists in real life and is even recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The palace is also home to the largest gothic cathedral in the world and the famous bell tower the Giralda.
You can definitely expect a long queue to visit this famous site but fret not! Pre-book your visit to the Cathedral and Giralda of Seville and Alcazar of Seville on Klook and not only will you get to enjoy skip the line tickets, there will even be an official English guide to take you around.
3. Old Town Dubrovnik, Croatia

Known better to Game of Thrones fans as the King’s Landing, the capital of Croatia, Dubrovnik, doubles up as the Westeros capital. Visit sites like the Trsteno Arboretum, also known as the King’s Landing palace gardens, or stroll around the Old Town where you can relive Cersei’s walk of shame. As you stroll down the Church of St Ignatius of Loyola or meander through the Pile Gate, you’ll soon arrive at the entrance to the King’s Landing.
Pre-book your Game of Thrones filming locations tour around Dubrovnik and explore all those places and more! Let the guide tell you the exact spots where scenes were shot and don’t forget to take plenty of photos!
Also in Dubrovnik is the opportunity for you to set sail on the exact ship that Daenerys Targaryen rode on. Sip on a Dragon blood cocktail and enjoy the expansive azure sea where you’ll sail by the well- preserved medieval walls of the King’s landing. Pre-book your cruise experience on Klook and it even comes with a free walking tour afterward.
P.S. Dragon not included.
4. Girona, Barcelona

Wander through the streets as Arya Stark did in Braavos or what we call the former Jewish Quarter of Girona. This Catalonian town is home to the Girona Cathedral known to fans as The Great Sept of Baelor. Can’t you just see Jaime Lannister riding up on his white house?
Pre-book a guided day tour from Barcelona and let the guide take you along the cobbled streets of the historic town. We bet the guides know plenty about the Game of Thrones filming sites so don’t be afraid to ask questions.
5. Giant’s Causeway, Dublin
Dunluce Castle, better known as the Castle of the House of Greyjoy, ruler of the Iron Islands. The now ruined medieval castle sits on the edge of a basalt rock and is only accessible via a bridge.

The spectacular Giant’s Causeway is just a stone’s throw away with incredible interlocking basalt columns and of course, the Dark Hedges. Relive the world of Game of Thrones characters as you roam around the area snapping photos and reenacting scenes.
Pre-book your Giant’s Causeway tour on Klook and enjoy these beautiful views with your knowledgeable guide and driver. You’ll get to arrive at the sights in a luxury coach, saving you the hassle of getting there on your own.
