Self-Guided Tours

What to Expect: Explore Dubrovnik’s iconic Game of Thrones filming locations at your own pace using online guides. Some spots can be tricky to find and may take extra time.

Pros: Flexible, budget-friendly, explore on your own schedule, great for adventurous travelers

Cons: Requires time investment to find locations, can be challenging to navigate, risk of missing important stories

Estimated Pricing: Free (just your time and energy!).

Note: If you’re short on time, this option might not be ideal. However, if you enjoy wandering Dubrovnik’s medieval streets and exploring hidden corners on your own, this is a perfect choice.

Combo Tours (Game of Thrones + History)

What to Expect: A balanced tour that blends iconic Game of Thrones filming locations with key historical landmarks of Dubrovnik. Perfect if you want the best of both worlds in a single, time-efficient experience.

Pros: Broader cultural context, diverse sightseeing, great for history buffs and fans alike

Cons: Covers both themes in less depth — more of a highlights experience than a deep dive into either

Estimated Pricing: Around 25€ per person. These tours generally don’t go inside the fortress, focusing instead on historical sites.

Note: I run this combo tour privately at the same price (minimum 2 guests), so you get a more flexible and personal experience — see the Game of Thrones & Dubrovnik History Tour for details.

Game of Thrones Tour with Lokrum Island

What to Expect: Similar to the regular Game of Thrones group tour, plus a scenic boat trip and guided walk on Lokrum Island, exploring extra filming spots in a peaceful setting.

Pros: Includes all regular Game of Thrones filming locations, plus Lokrum Island sites, with beautiful natural surroundings and a peaceful, less-crowded atmosphere

Cons: Requires a boat trip (round-trip ticket), weather dependent, longer duration (3 hours), higher price (see estimated pricing below)

Estimated Pricing: Around 35€ per person, plus 15€ entrance fee for St. Lawrence Fortress and 30€ round-trip boat ticket to Lokrum Island (both purchased separately).

Note: My tours don’t include Lokrum Island — it’s a place best explored at your own pace. During my Game of Thrones or Combo tour, I show exactly what was filmed there using my own photo album, so you’ll know what to look for if you visit.

Game of Thrones Driving Tour

What to Expect: Similar to the regular Game of Thrones tour, plus a scenic drive and guided visit to the Trsteno Arboretum. Some providers also include Lokrum Island with this tour.

Note: This tour is perfect for those interested in the Trsteno Arboretum and extra sightseeing. If your main focus is only the Game of Thrones locations, another tour might be a better fit.

If the cable car is not running, consider taking an Uber or taxi to reach the top of Mount Srđ — it can be more affordable, especially for families sharing the ride.

For extra adventurous visitors who enjoy hiking, there’s also a scenic trail leading up to Mount Srđ from the city — just be prepared for a bit of a climb!
