Welcome to Dubrovnik, an enchanting 1400-year-old medieval walled town famously dubbed as the “Pearl of Adriatic” where you'll enjoy your walking tour. Its beauty was immortalized in an often-repeated remark that famous writer G.B. Shaw made during one of his visits to Dubrovnik, stating "those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik”.
However, the fans of G.R.R. Martin’s saga “A Song of Ice and Fire” that had the opportunity to glimpse at the mighty fortifications of the Old City of Dubrovnik have unmistakably realized that there is no place better fit to depict the capital of Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, but Dubrovnik.
This was officially confirmed in 2011 when the HBO crew chose Dubrovnik as one of the filming locations for their award-winning show “The Game of Thrones”. The chemistry between HBO and Dubrovnik has proved to function perfectly and the City and its surroundings have been featured in a show for three consecutive years in seasons 2, 3 and 4, posing as King’s Landing and “the greatest city there was or ever will be”, the magical town of Qarth.
As you stride along from one iconic GoT scene to the other, enjoying the familiar breathtaking landscapes, get acquainted with a similar “game” that the small, but influential, medieval city-state of Dubrovnik played against much stronger enemies and competitors in order to assure its survival and preserve its precious freedom.
