New Rough Guide to Croatia Features Game of Thrones Season 8 Locations

Game of Thrones fans may not be able to travel to Westeros, but they can book a trip to the places where the hit HBO series was filmed. In anticipation of the premiere of season eight of Game of Thrones on April 14, the Rough Guides travel book series is releasing an updated guide to Croatia featuring locations from the show.
Parts of Scotland, Iceland, Ireland, and Spain have all become destinations for tourists looking to explore the settings of their favorite Game of Thrones scenes. In Croatia, travelers can visit Krka National Park, where Arya Stark crossed the Riverlands with The Hound in season four, and Dubrovnik, the ancient city where exterior shots for King's Landing were filmed.
The new edition of The Rough Guide to Croatia covers Zagreb, Inland Croatia, Istria, the Kvarner Gulf, Northern Dalmatia, Split, the south Dalmatia coast, the southern Dalmatian islands, and Dubrovnik. In addition to guiding you through filming locations with full-color maps and photos, the book also suggests non-Game of Thrones activities, like a trip to the Museum of Broken Relationships or a dessert tour of Korcula. From accommodations to special events, each section lists all the basic information you need for a successful trip. (Just be aware that the city of Dubrovnik, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, has taken some measures to fight the recent crush of Game of Thrones-loving tourists.)
The updated edition of The Rough Guide to Croatia will be released on May 1, 2019 for $24.99 (though it can be preordered on Amazon now for $19.91). If you're planning a Game of Thrones world tour, here are more famous filming locations to add to your itinerary.
