Insight Vacations®, the leader in luxury and premium escorted journeys, is giving fans of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” the rare opportunity to walk in the footsteps of their favorite characters. This epic fantasy series filmed in a variety of breathtaking locations around the world, but Croatia played a starring role for some of the series’ most pivotal kingdoms and unforgettable scenes. Insight Vacations offers a variety of legendary tours that showcase this glorious destination, including landscapes and attractions easily recognizable from the popular series.

Embark on a journey like no other across stunning coastlines, sun-drenched islands, and scenic valleys on the “Treasures of Croatia and Bosnia.” This special interest tour is limited to two departures and brings travelers on a voyage to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Guests begin in Split, the heart of the greatest Roman ruin in western Europe, which acts as the lovely (but troubled) city of Meereen and hosts a number scenes with the Mother of Dragons. Guests tour the enormous Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO site that still makes up the architectural fabric of the town, which was the setting for Daenerys’ throne room as well as the labyrinth where she led the slaves of Meereen to overturn their masters.

Krka National Park is one of Croatia’s eight National Parks and was used for shooting many of the countryside scenes throughout the series; Insight guests enjoy a full day exploring the forest along looping wooden boardwalks that connect emerald green waters with the park’s cascading falls. Finally, guests arrive at Dubrovnik – heralded “Paradise on Earth” and crowned the “Pearl of the Adriatic” – but known to fans as King’s Landing. This exquisite fortress city was also used for filming parts of Qarth and Slaver’s Bay, and fans will find its Venetian Gothic architecture and marble-paved Renaissance squares even more impressive in person.

Insight offers several additional itineraries that highlight the beauty of the real King’s Landing. Guests interested in exploring Dubrovnik should also review “Country Roads of Croatia,” “Imperial Capitals & the Dalmatian Riviera,” “Treasures of the Balkans” and “Dalmatian Elegance.”
