IT'S TIME TO ROLL AND FEEL
Game of Thrones has possibly become one of the most watched series in the world since it has also been the most awarded series in all of television history. Game of Thrones, has not only stood out for its great plot but also for its great locations.
So if you are a big fan or maybe not so much, this post will also interest you since we are going to comment on the best locations in which the series has been recorded.
Northern Ireland became one of the great settings of the entire Game of Thrones series, we can find more than 20 locations that have been places of reference for the creators of the series. The great green landscapes, its great castles such as the Black Castle (Magheramorne Quarry), the island of Dragonstone (Downhill Beach) or the forests of Westeros (Tollymore Forest), among many others, stand out above all.
Specifically, the United Kingdom has been one of the places selected to set Winterfell. In this way, everyone who wants to go through the same places as the Stark family, should go and explore the Downpatrick Country Down area, and more specifically Ward Castle since it is where a large part of the scenes of the family home were filmed. If, on the other hand, you want to walk along the iconic Camino Real, you should go to Ballymoney ‘s Dark Hedges, which as a result of the series is becoming one of the most photographed great landscapes in all of Ireland.
Croatia is another of the leading places in the series’ locations, specifically, the city of Dubrovnik. Because Dubrovnik is a walled city, it was the perfect location to film many of the King’s Landing moments. You will surely remember the scene where Cercei does the walk of shame, or the Petyr Baelish brothel, or the place where the Lannisters say goodbye to Princess Myrcella Baratheon. All these scenes were recorded on the streets of Dubrovnik.
Other important points were Ston, Split that has served to record the great majority of the scenes of Meereen or Šibenik, where the locations of Braavos predominate due to their strengths.
Spain has become the country in which more spaces have been used to record many scenes of Game of Thrones. Specifically, Almería has served to recreate the city of Meereen, the Basque Country has triumphed especially in the last season where scenes from the island of Dragonstone have been recreated in San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. And finally, the city of Girona is one of the most repeated throughout the sixth season.

Iceland has also become a great location for the Game of Thrones series. Volcanic and cold, Iceland was the perfect place to reflect the Land of Ice and Fire. In this way, the breathtaking landscape of Iceland became the perfect location for the Beyond the Wall grounds.
Specifically, they used scenarios such as Höfðabrekkuheiði, the Myrdalsjokull glacier, the Vatnajökull glacier and Lake Myvatn, which can currently be visited despite being a protected area. Although most of the scenes were recorded in these last mentioned locations, another great part were recorded in Skaftafell National Park.
