Croatia - Kings Landing (Dubrovnik)



Kings Landing. Joffery. You know nothing Jon Snow. Tyrion for life. OMG was that hodor?

Welcome to the set for Game of Thrones. Welcome to Kings Landing. Welcome to Dubrovnik.





And what a place! Hello Croatia! Simply beautiful. The old walled city flanked by the Adriatic on one side and mountains on the other you can see why this city was one of the most advanced through the middle ages. One the first to install democracy, first to abolish slavery and one of the first to have a pharmacy, this city has stood the test of time and is still stunning. Walking the walls and acting like we were shooting arrows in the Battle of Blackwater Bay, to waking up and looking out over the marina, there wasn’t a dull moment in Dubrovnik. Eating Bosnian food, visiting war photography exhibitions and drinking wine with lovely Finnish and German people, this was a brilliant launch pad for our Croatian adventures.
