Dubbrovnik -- Game Of ThronesDubbrovnik, Croatia: King's Landing

Over the past eight years, Game of Thrones is undoubtedly the world’s most favorite TV series from the angle of acting to scriptwriting, fierce dragons to daring dire wolves and evil wight walkers.  Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for HBO. The movie is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin‘s series of fantasy novels.

Without any further ado, GOT is more successful than some of the startups created in 2011 till date, the movie will be remembered for beautiful locations selected from Northern Ireland, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Scotland, Spain, and the United States for sceneries.

As at the time of writing this post, I can’t still call myself GOT‘s lover yet because I just start watching the series after some friends & some Twitter GOT‘s warlord lured me into it. So far, I can’t say I regret watching joining the GOT family, despite my love for ” Billions ” TV series.

Though some sets, exotic backgrounds, lovely horses, dragons, sparrows wight walkers, & giants are more of computer-generated imagery some location is actually real. Locations such as Dorne, Iron Isles, King’s Landing and many other scattered across countries around the world. All these locations are not just real but they are locations you must visit before you die as Game Of Thrones lovers.
