“Game of Thrones,” one of the most popular TV series of all time, has significantly contributed to promoting Dubrovnik as a tourist destination. From the second to the eighth season, Dubrovnik served as the primary filming location for King’s Landing, the fictional capital of Westeros. The series, based on George R. R. Martin’s literary saga A Song of Ice and Fire, has captivated millions of viewers worldwide and played a key role in increasing Dubrovnik’s global recognition.

The scenes filmed in Dubrovnik have become an invaluable advertisement for the city and its surroundings, attracting numerous fans eager to explore the locations they have seen on screen. This interest has led to the development of various themed tourist tours, guiding visitors through key filming sites such as Fort Lovrijenac, Stradun, and the Trsteno Arboretum.
