Located in an old 16th century granary, this museum is now home to folk costumes and other textiles but was once where the Dubrovnik Republic kept all the state reserves of grain in deep silos carved out of stone called Rupe. The exterior was used as the exterior of the Littlefinger's brothel and the residential area nearby is part of the route the High Septon was forced to walk through naked in season five.

Several countries have benefitted from increased tourist numbers as filming locations for Game of Thrones since the show blew up to be the huge cultural phenomenon that we know it to be today; Iceland and Ireland among them. However, one of the most distinct and popular locations has to be Dubrovnik in Croatia. The city is synonymous with the city of King's Landing from the television series and books and while it boasted plenty to see and do before, now there is a whole new layer of interest to be found when you visit. Just find a vacation rental in Dubrovnik and follow in the footsteps of your favourite characters.

There are several sites in the Old Town where Game of Thrones was filmed including the Pile and Ploče gate, St. Dominic street, along the city walls, the Bokar fortress and the Minčeta tower, as well as many other locations dotted around and just outside the city. Founded in the 7th Century by refugees from Epidaurus in Greece, the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and picturesque gem that does make one feel as though they have stepped right into the Middle Ages or some grand fantasy novel.
