1. Old Town, Dubrovnik, Croatia (King’s Landing)
King’s Landing has been taken over by the Lannisters, since the first season after the sad demise of King Robert Baratheon. And if you are reading this article I am assuming you’ve already witnessed the grandeur of the place in the majestic scenes in all seasons.

Remember Yunkai? The 17th century city sits between Marrakech and the Sahara is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I always get goosebumps, when the Yellow City surrenders her slaves to Daenerys, who praise her as their ‘Mother’.
Morocco is quite a culturally beautiful land as well. Pack up! We’re leaving!

6. Minčeta Tower, Dubrovnik, Croatia (House of the Undying)
Daenerys Targaryen goes looking for her dragons inside but is kidnapped by the warlocks. Who can forget this scene? I almost had tears in my eyes when that happened. Though they got fried by the one and only Drogon later, but still.
Shot in a tower which is the highest point along Dubrovnik’s city walls is the exterior of the House of the Undying in Qarth during season two.

The Tower of Joy—which plays a pivotal role in Lyanna Stark’s much alluded storyline sits between Madrid and Barcelona.
Remember Season 6 finale? A young Ned Stark enters the Tower of Joy and finds his sister, Lyanna, bleeding to death from childbirth. She whispers in his ear and begs him to “promise” her something. I am still wondering what that something was. Any clues?

Theon Greyjoy reconnects with his sister, Yara at this rocky Northern Irish coastline in the last two seasons as the Greyjoys deal with their own throne complications. Ballintoy stands in as the harbor of the Iron Islands.
And Iron Islands is quite a lovely place beside the place. I’d kill for that territory. Haha!
