9 Exotic Game of Thrones Destinations to Visit Right Now

Food & Wine

Game of Thrones season 5 is upon us. Maybe you’ve reread all the books or binge-watched every last episode, but there's another way to really experience your favorite show. 

For the HBO series, George R.R. Martin's fictional seven kingdoms were actually filmed in these nine real destinations around the world. Maybe it's time to book a GOT getaway.

Split, Croatia

On the show, it's where Daario Naharis defeats the champion of the enslaved city of Meereen. In real life, it's a popular tourist destination as the second largest city in Croatia and home to some of Europe's most beautiful beaches.

Red Citadel of Aït Benhaddou, Morocco

Because small dragons are not enough protection, Khaleesi travels to this fiery setting (a real-life UNESCO World Heritage Site) in search of an army. Nonetheless, the Red Citadel is a chic getaway for anyone, with or without dragons.
