Dubrovnik aka Kings Landing in a snap. ✨SAVE LIST for your next trip✨ 🫰🇭🇷🧝🏻♀️🐉 🏰 This was my first time visiting Croatia and I already can’t wait to go back! As a huge GOT’s fan, getting to explore the real King’s Landing was so cool! Coming to this destination was also very special as Game of Thrones was my mom @bitajoonie & I’s favorite show and we used to watch together every week. She’d never let me skip the intro since she would hum the song & loved the melody before every episode, it was so cute. It’s bittersweet to think she never got to see the GOT finale as she left us too soon, but I’m sure she wouldn’t be happy anyway as Khaleesi was her favorite! IYKYK 😉 Visiting all the famous spots made me miss and think of her so much, she would have loved it here! In her honor I’ve complied a list of top instagrammable & GOT spots I’ve visited where scenes from the show were filmed: 🔅City Walls ⚜️Gradac Park 🔅Fort Lovrijenac ⚜️West Harbour and Pier 🔅Kolorina Bay/Pile Bay ⚜️Pile Gate 🔅Bokar Fort ⚜️Rupe Ethnographic Museum 🔅The Jesuit Staircase ⚜️The Rectors Palace 🔅St. Dominic’s Street ⚜️The Stradun 🔅Ploče Gate ⚜️Minčeta Tower 🔅Lokrum Island ⚜️Trsteno Arboretum 🔅Hotel Bevedere ⚜️SRD Hill 📍TELL ME: Are you a GOT fan? What was your favorite scenes from the show? Mine was between Joffrey dying, Khaleesi trading her dragon for the Unsullied then busting out in Valyrian, or when Sam first kills the white walker with dragon glass! #LATGxGOT #croatia #dubrovnik #GOT #gameofthrones #kingslanding

Visited 09:00, early May 2024. I had the place to myself. Jasmine and other scents filled the air. An interesting variety of trees and efforts seem to be underway to increase the variety of flowering plants. Lovely vistas over the neighbouring islands. A self service coffee snacks and cold drinks machine, in a visitor space with a video in English showing the main parts of the garden - there is a lot more than the leaflet you get at the entrance suggests. Much of this is outside the fenced main garden. The olive groves were particularly good - many wild flowers in the meadow beneath the trees including orchids and broomrapes, and the songs of nightingales and golden orioles everywhere - both were quite easy to see too. It would be good if this olive grove meadow was more widely practised. Some areas were being strimmed which was a loss for wildlife.

Arboretum Trsteno is the oldest monument of park architecture in Croatia. It was founded in 1498 on the country estate of the Dubrovnik noble family Gučetić-Gozze. It stretches over 28.5 hectares and has a collection of more than 400 species of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. The space of the arboretum unites several different units: a renaissance park with a summer house; olive grove and natural vegetation of medunca oak, Aleppo pine and cypress forests, macchia and coastal rock vegetation. In the arboretum can be seen a large number of exotic species of trees whose seedlings were brought by sailors from their long voyages. Within the Arboretum there is a baroque fountain from 1736, named after the Roman god Neptune. Arboretum Trsteno has been protected since October 27, 1962 by a decision of the Institute for Nature Protection.

The visit to the Arboretum exceeded all expectations... Well, let me start, it was the middle of August, the temperature hovered around 38 degrees Celsius. As we stepped inside the park, it was as if we entered some kind of pleasant cloud, all the feeling of summer heat disappeared, the greenery that what surrounded us was like a protective cloak made of wood. Walking into the depth of the park, a real surprise followed: from the old mill, the main house with a small square and a chapel, and narrow well-maintained paths that meandered through the vegetation and greenery, a wonderful vantage point that takes your breath away, you can see the neighboring islands... Such a rhapsody for the senses, as if time has stopped and the outside world does not exist. The real surprise was the Neptune fountain - breathtaking...

Sunset near the sea or ocean always attracts with it's magical colors. It's even better in a lonely place like this. Not many people know this Game of Thrones location, so this town is quite. Green Gardens of Kings Landing was filmed in arboretum, so I'm pretty sure that Natalie Dormer (Margery Tyrell), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) and others were here. Huge 500-years old tree is located on the hills near the see. Some branches are so heavy that stone columns were built to hold them up. It was impossible to get the whole tree in the photo. This miracle of nature would be a nice bonus for travelers seeking Gameo of thrones locations

Overall the place was beautiful, it was peaceful and quite however not really what we wanted. As a family of 5 going there we did expect a bit more, in terms of getting around it was a bit of a free for all, not much signage and when you did get to the highlight areas such as the terrace there wasn’t much there apart from the view. It also cost us £45 in taxi fees there and back plus £35 in tickets (3 student and 2 adult). It definitely isn’t a day trip, we spent around 2 hours there and then was pretty bored. However if you’re looking for a nice scenic walk and something different to Old Town it’s very nice in that respect.
