Game of Thrones super fans, take the ultimate Game of Thrones Croatian vacation with Zicasso. Zicasso is proud to introduce Game of Thrones: A Unique Tour of Croatia, a 7-day, guided immersion into the breathtaking locales of Split, Krka National Park, Hvar, Ston and Dubrovnik. While others may offer one-day trips to Game of Thrones filming locations, this week-long tour will introduce visitors to the wonders of Croatia, showcasing the best scenes from the beloved series as well as the historical and cultural highlights of this beautiful destination.
The journey begins in Split, the new filming location added for the 4th season of Games of Thrones filming in Croatia. This magnificent metropolis, dating back to the fourth century BC, boasts a superb archaeological museum (the oldest in Croatia) as well as theCathedral of St. Domnius and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Diocletian’s Palace. The next day, guests will explore Klis Fortress, an ancient stronghold at the center of some of Croatia’s most legendary struggles, as well as the struggles of Daenerys Targaryen. Visitors will also explore the suburb of Zrnovnica which will serve as a setting for a climactic upcoming battle in Season 4! The day’s excursions will conclude with a trip to Diocletian’s Palace, the former residence of one of ancient Rome’s greatest emperors and a fitting location for Daenerys to plot her return to Westeros.
The last full day in Croatia brings fans deep into the world of Westeros with an exploration of King’s Landing. An expert guide will lead visitors through the streets of Dubrovnik, pointing out settings from the first three seasons: the city walls that served as the backdrop for the Battle of Blackwater and the Lovrijenac Fortress that witnessed the misdeeds of evil King Joffery. They will also visit Lokrum Island, the site of pivotal Lannister moments from season two, such as Littlefinger’s meeting with Queen Cersei, Tyrion’s inspection of the Alchemists’ Guild and the riot inspired by Joffery’s tyranny, as well as the model for the wealthy port city of Qarth. The day concludes with a tour of the serene and gorgeous arboretum at Trsteno, whose gardens served as the backdrop for the court intrigues of Lady Margaery Tyrell and her shrewd grandmother Olenna.
