Split Game of Thrones Walking Tour — History & Cellar Entry Included
About This Tour
Diocletian's Palace isn't just a 1,700-year-old Roman ruin — it's Meereen from Game of Thrones seasons 4 and 5. This guided walking tour takes you to every filming location in Split, with your guide showing you the actual scenes on a tablet as you stand in the exact spots where they were shot. Descend into the West Basement Chambers — Daenerys' dragon prison — where she chained her dragons and later fed the cruel masters to them. Cross into the East Chambers where Grey Worm and Ser Barristan Selmy fought the Sons of the Harpy. Stand in the Peristyle where the "kill the masters" revolt unfolded. Sit on the Iron Throne for a photo. But this isn't just a fan tour — your licensed guide weaves 2,000 years of real history alongside the fiction. Learn about Emperor Diocletian (history's greatest persecutor of Christians), discover why a headless Sphinx guards Jupiter's Temple, and find out what the Venetians paid for this palace. Pass by the GoT Museum and Fan Shop in the Old Town. With 74 reviews at 5.0 stars, this is Split's #1 rated walking tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where were Game of Thrones scenes filmed in Split, Croatia?
Diocletian's Palace in Split served as the city of Meereen in GoT seasons 4 and 5. The basement chambers were Daenerys' dragon prison, the Peristyle was the setting for the slave revolt, and surrounding streets became Meereen's alleys where the Sons of the Harpy attacked. This tour visits every filming location with scene comparisons on a tablet.
Is the Split Game of Thrones tour worth it if I haven't watched the show?
Yes — the tour covers 2,000 years of real Split history alongside the filming locations. You'll learn about Emperor Diocletian, Venetian rule, the headless Sphinx mystery, and how a Roman palace became a living city. Many non-fans say the history alone makes it the best walking tour in Split.
What is included in the €40 Game of Thrones walking tour?
The price includes entry to both the West and East Basement Chambers (Daenerys' dragon dungeon and the Grey Worm battle site), an Iron Throne photo, GoT scene comparisons on a tablet, a licensed local guide, and discount flyers for nearby attractions. No hidden fees — tips are the only exclusion.
How is this different from the €66 Game of Thrones Dragons Tour?
This tour (€40) is a group walking tour combining GoT filming locations with 2,000 years of Split history — it's the best value and our most popular tour with 74 reviews. The Dragons Tour (€66) is a smaller group with a more focused GoT-only experience. Both include cellar entry and Iron Throne photos.
Can I sit on the Iron Throne in Split?
Yes! An Iron Throne replica is part of this tour. Your guide takes you there for a photo — it's one of the most popular spots for visitors. The throne is located inside Diocletian's Palace near the filming locations.
