The Stunning Gardens Of Trsteno Arboretum

Dubrovnik is now very famous, not only as a beautiful city and wonderful holiday destination, but as a filming location for the impossibly popular Game of Thrones.. If you find a vacation rental in Dubrovnik, a tour of some of the key filming locations is a must for any fan of the show but there is one particular spot that we would especially recommend: the Trsteno Arboretum.

Located 18km Northwest of the city, in the village of Trsteno, it is the oldest Renaissance garden in Dalmatia. While the exact date of when it was established is uncertain, the earliest written mention of the arboretum dates to 1492, when it was noted alongside the building of an irrigation aqueduct in public record of the time. Developed as part of the park surrounding the summer residence of the Gučetić-Gozze family, it became public property, and declared as a natural rarity in 1948 and registered as a protected natural monument in 1962.

If you are interested in visiting Dubrovnik and enjoying the rich history and cosmopolitan delights of the city but you are also interested in taking in the incredible natural beauty of Croatia while on holiday in Dubrovnik-neretva, then we highly recommend a visit to the Mljet National Park.

The Mljet National Park is an expansive area of stunning protected natural beauty that encompasses the entire northwestern part of Mljet Island and is located just a stone’s throw from the city of Dubrovnik. Bordered by two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero (Large and Small Lake), and characterised by lush forests juxtaposed against the azure sea, deep blue lakes, and endless skies, its breathtaking beauty, tranquillity, and opportunities for adventure make it an ideal destination for a day trip on vacation in Dubrovnik-neretva.

If you’re looking for a scenic and walkable city that is packed with history, culture, excellent restaurants and bars, nearby beaches, and more, then few places could truly hope to compete with a vacation rental in Dubrovnik. A serious looker of a city with the kind of incredible historic centre and impeccable landmarks that made it become a filming location for the cinematic fantasy setting of the medieval towns of Game of Thrones, it is a magical place to come and wander about. In fact, we’ve previously highlighted how you can go on a tour of the key spots from the beloved HBO series as you explore the city.

However, even if you’re not a fan of the show, there are endless reasons to go strolling about the centre and endless incredible gems that you might stumble upon on your travels. From little family-owned eateries, to unique boutiques, to pretty squares with cafes, to architectural gems, to charming streets that are beyond picturesque, as you walk around historic Dubrovnik, you never know what you might find! You might even find wonderful things in surprising packages. For example, you may well wander past the 15th century Dominican monastery and church of Saint Sebastian, which looks like many other churches in the city from the exterior. However, there is much more to this fascinating building. It is, in fact, home to a rather remarkable collection of artworks and more by Croatian artists and designers.

The incredible success story that is Game of Thrones was filmed in many different locations around the world. However, one of the most distinctive and iconic locations is Dubrovnik in Croatia, which has given shape to the fictional city of King's Landing. Beautiful and steeped in history and culture, it is already well-worth a visit but fans of the show will get an extra kick out of knowing that some of the key tourist attractions were also featured in the program. Once you have found a vacation rental in Dubrovnik, just track down these locations from the show.

4. Ethnographic Museum Rupe

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.

One of the best things about Dubrovnik is the landscape of the city itself. The old town, by the harbour, as made so iconic by Game of Thrones, is charming and atmospheric. The rich blue of the waters is set against the bright grey stone walls and buildings and red rooftops. It is quite the sight to behold and reason enough to visit the city. If you have found a vacation rental in Dubrovnik and are planning on exploring her streets and taking in those views, then I have a recommendation: make sure to try out Restaurant 360.

“Game of Thrones,” fans likely already have Dubrovnik on their bucket lists as a holiday destination in Croatia as it is famously where much of the scenes set in some of the warmer climes of the show were filmed. Browse our vacation rentals in Dubrovnik now and you can get a taste of what it would be like to step into the fantastical world of the show! Once you're there, you can take various tours that have been set up by local tourism groups and companies and which bring you to all of the sites used in the filming of, “Game of Thrones,” but you can also just look them up and visit at your own pace and at your leisure. If you are going for the latter option, then you definitely need to pencil in a visit to Lovrijenac.

Lovrijenac, Fort Lovrijenac, or St Lawrence's Fortress is a fascinating old building that has had two main purposes throughout its existence: as a fortress and as a theatre. Often called Dubrovnik's Gibraltar, it is first recorded in a document discussing a vote for the Commander of the Fort by the local council in 1301. Chronologists, however, reckon that the construction of the fort actually dates to sometime between 1018 and 1038. Neighbouring Venetian forces were constantly trying to invade the city and a story from the 11th century states that they planned to claim the site on which the fort now stands and build a fortress that would help their attempts to conquer Dubrovnik. Instead, the city, upon hearing of this plan, quickly mobilised her citizens and built their own fortress instead before the Venetians could get to it. One can only imagine their surprise to encounter a building already on the site that they had hand-picked for themselves!
