As one of the most successful drama series, Game of Thrones, ever since its first season, has kept fans hanging on the edge. A drama-turned-series of George RR Martin, Game of Thrones has dreamlike landscapes of unimaginable beauty in the fictional real-life world of Westeros. The advancements of CGI’s combined with the unimaginable, profound graphics skills has made turning anything to everything an easy feat. With technology, it has become easy to turn a man wearing a blue suit into a furry-talking-monkey or a mouse into a Cinderella chariot. Which is why amidst all the hullabaloos of technology, a real-place screening with a real-life adventure is worth all the praise and the visit.
These are the real-life places in Games of Thrones you can visit:
King’s Landing- Dubrovnik, Croatia
In a political-knit continent of Westeros, you got to start with King’s Landing. The capital of the Seven Kingdoms, ruled by an ironclad evil wit and charm by Queen Cersei, Dubrovnik in Croatia has all the views-in-making of Westeros.  With its narrow-cobbled streets, ornate staircases, Renaissance squares and medieval fortified city walls, Dubrovnik’s Old Town is also home to the Iron Throne located in the Great Hall of the Red Keep.
Winterfell- Doune Castle, Scotland
It is a said fact that Scotland has one of the most mesmerising landscapes in the world. And now it has Winterfell too. Jon Snow of House Stark stole a whole lot of fans with this real-life Winterfell, Scotland.

The Water Gardens of Dorne - The Alcazar, Seville, Spain
A Moorish place of Prince Doran Martell, the Water Gardens of Dorne is known for the scene where Myecella, Cersei Lanister’s daughter was sent to the House of Martell.

The Great Sept of Baelor- Fort Maoel, Malta
Fans of House Stark will remember the most heart-excruciating pain in the whole series when the deck of cards of House Stark started crumbling with the beheading of Lord Stark.
