Game of Thrones meets medieval Dubrovnik. This 3-hour walk turns St. Lawrence Fort into your first big photo moment, then threads you through the old town’s filming locations with a licensed guide who explains what you’re seeing and why it was chosen.

What I especially like is that the tour doesn’t stop at the walls. You also get a Lokrum Island segment that connects the show’s island moments to real, green terrain across the water, plus you’ll receive a book of photos to help match scenes to specific spots. One drawback: there’s some walking and some height exposure, so if you’re sensitive to viewpoints or have mobility concerns, this probably won’t feel fun.

Key points worth knowing

• St. Lawrence Fort first: you start at one of Dubrovnik’s best-preserved fortifications with standout views over city and sea
• Licensed Game of Thrones guiding: filming locations come with context, not just a photo stop
• Old town pacing: the route is broken into segments (Coogee, Cameretten, Maia), so the tour stays structured
• Iconic scenes, on their real streets: stops can include famously recognizable locations like the Walk of Shame
• Lokrum Island by boat: you’ll visit landmarks used for the series, just a short ride from Dubrovnik
• Weather-aware plan: if Lokrum doesn’t work due to conditions, the guide may swap in an alternative inside Dubrovnik

St. Lawrence Fort: the best starting gate for Dubrovnik views

Most Dubrovnik tours start in the old town and work their way out. This one does the opposite. You meet at the Pile Bus Stop/taxi drop-off area (look for Dubrovnik Walks representatives with orange umbrellas), then head straight to Fort St. Lawrence, one of the city’s best-preserved fortifications.

Why I like this start: it gives you a quick sense of the geography. From the fort, you can see the way the old city sits above the sea and how the surrounding cliffs shape movement and sightlines. That matters because later, when you walk filming areas, the show’s framing makes more sense. You’re not just chasing spots; you’re learning how Dubrovnik itself creates the mood.

Practical note: Fort St. Lawrence has an entrance ticket of 15 € per person (2024). If you have a Dubrovnik Pass with the 24h limit or City Walls tickets valid for 72h, that fort entry may be covered. Either way, arriving with good shoes helps. The fort is a viewpoint place, which is great for photos, but it’s not a flat stroll.

Coogee, Cameretten, and Maia: how the walking route stays focused

After the fort, you move into the old town with a licensed Game of Thrones guide. The walk is organized into blocks of time—Coogee (about 40 minutes), Cameretten (about 80 minutes), and Maia (about 1 hour). Even though those names can sound like map labels, the structure is useful. It keeps the tour from turning into one endless, samey loop of stone streets.

Here’s what you should expect during these segments: the guide points out filming locations across the old city, including well-known scenes. You’ll slow down at key corners, squares, and passageways where the show’s camera angles line up with what you’re standing near. And since the guide is licensed and series-focused, you’re not left guessing. You’ll get the real-world context behind the locations—what was filmed where, and how the production used Dubrovnik’s layout.

A note on pacing: the tour is about 3 hours total, so you won’t have time to wander. This is more like a guided route with short stops than a free-roaming “see whatever you want.” If you like having the structure, it’s a win. If you want lots of unplanned detours, you might feel a bit herded.

The Walk of Shame stop: why iconic scenes work better in person

One of the stops can include the Walk of Shame. That kind of location is famous for a reason: when you stand near it, you instantly understand how the scene’s tension came from real space. The street width, the slope or leveling, the way walls frame movement—these details matter, and a guide helps you notice them.

This is also where the photo book becomes useful. You’re given a book of photos designed to help you match series moments to the specific places you’re visiting. I like that the tour doesn’t rely only on memory or screen captures. Instead, you can glance at your references and recreate the look—at least visually—without needing to perfectly know the episode breakdown.

Another plus: your guide can handle questions in real time. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes-style explanations about why certain locations were used and what viewers see on camera versus what’s actually on the ground. That makes the whole walk feel less like sightseeing trivia and more like walking through a purpose-built set that happens to be a real city.

Fort views to old town corners: what you’ll feel as you walk

Dubrovnik in summer can be intense. Even if you’re not directly told to “power through,” you should plan for heat and sun. The tour’s own recommended packing list—sunglasses, sun hat, sunscreen, water—basically screams that it’s not designed for people who show up unprepared.

Also consider that the walking route includes viewpoints and fort areas, and Lokrum adds an outdoor boat element. It’s not an extreme hike, but it’s not a stroller-and-café tour either. If you’re afraid of heights, have heart problems, or have low fitness, the risk-to-comfort ratio gets bad fast—this isn’t the right day for pushing through.

Lokrum Island by boat: Game of Thrones landmarks with a calmer mood

The last act is Lokrum Island. You’ll take a short boat ride from Dubrovnik, then explore the island’s landmarks tied to the series. Lokrum is described as lush and green, and the contrast is noticeable: you shift from old stone streets to a more open, plant-filled island environment.

What I like about finishing here is emotional balance. After the dense old town filming spots, Lokrum gives you breathing room. Even if you’re only a casual fan of the show, it feels like a proper change of scenery rather than one more “look at another wall” stop.

Cost-wise, Lokrum is the part that most affects your final budget. The tour price you pay on the spot is 35 € for the walking portion (that’s the amount you pay to Dubrovnik Walks). On top of that, you’ll need to cover the return boat ticket and Lokrum admission. Notes for 2024 mention 27 € for the entrance/boat ride, and there’s also a separate admission figure listed as 30 € for adults and 5 € for children aged 5–17. Bottom line: plan around a total of about 80 € per person once you include everything.

And yes—weather can change things. On some departures, poor conditions have meant the Lokrum leg didn’t happen, and the guide provided an alternative finish back in Dubrovnik’s old town. That’s the kind of contingency you’ll want to understand if your dates are tight and your expectations are very Lokrum-specific.

The photo book and Q&A: where the tour earns its rating

This tour isn’t just a route of numbered stops. The guide brings series knowledge tied directly to what you’re seeing on the street and on the island. You’ll have a chance to ask questions about locations and the show, plus you’ll hear interesting, behind-the-scenes style stories tied to the making of Game of Thrones.

I’m a big believer in this detail: when a guide can answer your questions clearly, the experience stops feeling like a lecture and starts feeling like a conversation. It also reduces the frustration that can come with GoT locations, where you either know the scene… or you don’t. With the photo references, even if you’re not fully fluent in episode names, you can still follow what’s going on.

You may also run into different guide styles. English is the stated language, and in past departures, I’ve seen names like Aleksandra and Andreja associated with the group experience—both noted for keeping people comfortable and making the visit work even in tough conditions like heavy heat.

One more small rule: video recording is not allowed. So if you’re planning to film everything like it’s a documentary, you’ll need to adjust. Photos are typically fine, but this particular tour restricts video.

Price and logistics: what the 35 € actually buys

Let’s do the practical math. The tour itself is 35 € (the amount you pay to Dubrovnik Walks right away). The publicly stated price is 41 $ per person, and both numbers line up as part of the same “base tour” cost.

Then you add:

• Fort St. Lawrence entrance: 15 € (or 0 € if covered by a Dubrovnik Pass 24h limit or City Walls tickets 72h limit)
• Lokrum: you need return boat and Lokrum entrance/admission (pricing notes vary between 27 € for entrance/boat combo in 2024 and an admission note of 30 € for adults / 5 € for children aged 5–17)
• With everything combined, the tour notes a total cost of 80 € per person

Is that good value? For the type of experience, yes—if you actually want both halves: the old town filming stops plus the Lokrum island component. If you only care about the old city, you might feel the Lokrum add-on is optional. But if you want the full “series meets Dubrovnik” arc, the costs map to real things: fort access and boat/entry onto an island.

Also think about what you’re buying beyond the price: a licensed, Game of Thrones–focused guide plus a structured walking route in a compact old town area. In Dubrovnik, that structure saves time and helps you see more than you would on your own—especially when you want the series connection, not just the generic sights.

Who should book this, and who should skip

This tour fits best if you:

• Want Game of Thrones filming locations with a guide who ties locations to scenes
• Like walking tours where you’re guided through a specific route with stops and explanations
• Want a second location on an island—Lokrum—rather than only sticking to the old town

It’s likely a poor fit if you:

• Need wheelchair access (wheelchair users aren’t suitable)
• Have mobility impairments, are pregnant, or have heart problems
• Are afraid of heights or have very high blood pressure
• Have low fitness or plan to move slowly
• Are over 70 (the tour notes it isn’t suitable)

If you’re in a “moderate fitness, ok with walking and stairs” category, you should be fine—just don’t show up empty-handed. Bring water and sunscreen. Wear shoes that won’t complain after a couple hours of stone and uneven ground.

Practical packing and comfort tips for a 3-hour Dubrovnik day

The tour’s recommended packing list is spot-on for a coastal walking day:

• Comfortable shoes
• Sunglasses, sun hat, sunscreen
• Water
• Beachwear and a towel (Lokrum is island time)
• Cash and credit card, in case any local payment is needed for tickets you haven’t covered

Two practical tips I’d add for your comfort:

• Plan to keep your pace steady. This is a guided route with a timed structure, not a “pause whenever you want” format.
• Don’t rely on your phone battery for show matching. Use the photo book reference and take a few photos, then put the phone away to enjoy the walk.

Should you book the Dubrovnik Game of Thrones and Lokrum Island tour?

Book it if you’re a real Game of Thrones fan who wants more than wandering. The mix of Fort St. Lawrence views, old town filming stops (including recognizable scenes), and a Lokrum Island visit with series landmarks makes it feel like a complete experience, not a half-tour.

Skip it if you can’t handle walking and height exposure, or if you’d rather spend your time in Dubrovnik completely on your own schedule. And if your travel dates are tight and Lokrum matters most, keep in mind that weather can affect the island leg and the guide may switch to an alternative plan back in the city.
