Another destination has ascended to god-tier status in my heart—

Dubrovnik, Croatia. The real-life "King's Landing" nestled between mountains and sea, A fortress encircled by ancient walls, rising from the Adriatic. The very seat of the coveted "Iron Throne" in Game of Thrones, Where sunset hues paint the medieval city and the Mediterranean in fiery gold. 🚗 King's Landing Travel Guide ❶ City Walls Four entry points lead to the walls, where you can spot filming locations from GoT both atop and within the old town. ❷ Cable Car Panorama Ride the cable car at sunset for breathtaking views of Dubrovnik. Enjoy a twilight dinner at the mountaintop restaurant. ❸ Banje Beach With King's Landing as your backdrop and the sea as your foreground, it’s like vacationing in a medieval fantasy. ⚠️ Heads-up: Dubrovnik is perfect—except for parking. Old town lots charge €10/hour, the cable car station €8/hour (no upper limit). ⚠️ Tip: Stay outside the old town (e.g., in Gruž) and taxi in. ✈️ Nearby Itinerary Ideas ❶ Central Europe (Schengen Zone) 🔺 Higher budget required Croatia is now part of Schengen—a visa covers: Austria + Hungary + Slovenia + Croatia ❷ Balkan Peninsula 🔺 More budget-friendly Only a Croatian Schengen visa needed: Serbia + Bosnia & Herzegovina + Croatia + Montenegro #OffTheBeatenPathTravel #Croatia #Dubrovnik #Balkans #PearlOfTheAdriatic #CentralEurope #Mediterranean #RoadTrip #GameOfThrones
