Real Locations Used
As Westeros had very different landscapes, climates and geography, multiple contrasting locations were needed to capture the feel of each area. Here are some of the real locations that were used to film Game of Thrones.
Northern Ireland
This was the show's main production hub, featuring locations like Castle Ward (Used for Winterfell) and Ballintoy Harbour (Used for the Iron Islands).
Croatia
The Croatian city Dubrovnik was used extensively for King's Landing, and for other areas too, with Dubrovnik's city wall being a central filming spot for the capital.
Iceland
Iceland was used to provide the dramtic, frozen landscapes for areas beyond the wall, including Vatnajökull glacier.
Spain
Locations in Spain featured as the Kingdom of Dorne, with Seville's Alcázar serving as the Water Gardens of Dorne
