7 locations that every Game of Thrones fan should visits

in #travel7 years ago

It's finished with the chewing nails and the number of hours left. The season 7 of the Game of Thrones comes out almost entirely from the oven and we are curious to see the filmmakers heading for the movie. But it can kill a little while waiting, borrowing some ideas of destinations from the seasons we already know by the way.


The city Aït-Ben-Haddou, aka Yunkai

The phenomenon that is about to hit the planet could bring, in addition to enthusiasm, unimportant shadows of shudder or hoarseness on forehead. And when we talk about those who do not jubilee at the 7th season of the Game of Thrones, we are talking about the bosses who will once again get tired and tired at the office in the morning, over employees who do not seem to move anything in Except for the end of the program and waiting for them for a whole night to be lost in the embrace of the laptop and princess Daenerys Targaryen.

The second suppressed category is the lovers who lived up and down to the fact that they are not enslaved by this phenomenon and who, as a result, chose many glasses of wine drunk in solitude with many last-minute walks And weekends in which they had to do their work somewhat outside the conjugal relationship.

Well, but passions require sacrifices and cold blood, so those who season 7 find them creepy and delightful for life will have to convince their oppressed halves that life is still raining sometimes. If you've taken all the crap out to join you on the couch, we promise you that the promise of a trip to one of the destinations that served as a filming platform is the surest way to win.


1. Croatia, Dubrovnik

You should not even declare yourself a fan of the Game of Thrones if you have not reached the King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and you did not follow Cersei Lannister's footsteps on the Road of Shame, in the rage of the unleashed crowd.

Your phone's camera to better be in shape for when you get to the walls of Dubrovnik, the host Battle of Blackwater Bay, where green fire destroyed crazy Stannis Baratheon's fleet. Ok, maybe the scene had nothing in sensuality Road Shame, but surely you remember. When not playing seriously, these walls, built over 500 years ago, survive earthquakes ruthless and enjoy its rightful place on the UNESCO list.

Once you feel that the other side of the relationship no longer exists patience to hear any thing from Game of Thrones, set out quickly to a terrace directly above the Adriatic somehow periphery walls of the chattering earlier. Walk the main street in the Old Town, past the shops and restaurants and get in front of an entry wall graffiti that says "NO TOPLESS". Do not be fooled, but rather guided by music; Most likely will lead you to Buza Bar 1, and there you will wash all your sins.

  2. Spain, Andalusia

The Moorish architecture of Alcazar Castle (or "Sunspear," in the familiar language)

If Andalusia does not awaken you the hottest nostalgia after Season 5, you can probably join the White Walkers army. Seville, with its tempting climate, turns into Dorne, the southernmost of the Seven Kingdoms. Oh, so Jamie Lannister wanted her to recapture her niece, Myrcella, in episode 6; And we are no longer surprised to have struck a certain amount of opposition - the place looks as though history has itself said "It would not be bad to leave something in Andalusia to break the mouth of the fair ..." and put on job.

Stop searching for the capital of Dorne or its water gardens in the long and wide, have already been all identified and should guide your steps to Seville's Alcazar Castle. The architectural motifs and decorations there are nothing but the pure influence of Islamic domination on this corner of Spain. Yes, anything created in Photoshop - The Ambassadors' Hall, Mercury's Pool, and Grotto Gallery will all be revealed to you in Real Alcázar de Sevilla.

I'm not done. Do you remember the Meereen Fighting Massacre? Do not you have the hair? Well then, do not look fast on google, rent a car better, drive for an hour through the Mediterranean landscapes separating Sevilla from the city of Osuna and ask the first man to come out, how to get to the bullring arena. Yeah, you got it, it's one and the same.

  3. Morocco, Aït-Ben-Haddou

Aït-Ben-Haddou of Morocco, a settlement built almost entirely of clay, played the role of Yunkai

Have you caught the dawn of not knowing how many times in the ceiling, dreaming of the beautiful Daenerys? Somewhere in the first seasons, the city of Essaouira has turned into Astapore, the place where the unguarded soldiers, made of iron and steel and for which death is nothing, were released by Daenerys in season 3. Naturally, not without producing niscaiva skin Hen on the epidermis of the viewers.

Aït-Ben-Haddou aka Yunkai, a city built almost entirely from clay and surviving the passage of centuries, used to be the center of slave trade. Stay! Which of the two are we talking about? About both of them, because both the Order of the Thrones and the Neglected History considered the place that could not be better suited to selling the slaves.

This mighty fortress, located 100 km south of Marrakech and killing its carefree days at the desert, has received in shooting teams, pictures of cats on the internet: we only remember Jesus of Nazareth, Mummy, Gladiator, Alexander, Babel, and Prince of Persia ...

  4. Northern Ireland

Well, here is a forest that played the role of wallpaper on a significant number of desktops, Dark Hedges in Ireland

Let's turn around the key of time and return to season two when Arya tried to escape from the King's Deck, disguised as a boy, and driven by the thought of her father's behead. Ready? Are we on the ladder of time? If you remember that fantastic path, lost in the embrace of beech branches whose images have catapulted the boredpanda website into the charts, you probably found out there until the last tree trunk and found them in northern Ireland under the name of The Dark Hedges.

Let's see how your heart grows, walking through the walls of Winterfell Castle that you've always believed to belong to the Stark family. The joy felt should greatly counterbalance the vicits of everyday life, reminding you that there are still reasons to wake up smiling in the morning. Just mention that you will find the edifice looking for Castle Ward, in the real name.

What you will dream of in this 18th century construction will be the dual style of architecture, the living proof of what the man wants and what the woman wants does not always slam; While the entrance is raised in the classical Palladian style (that Lord Lord Bangor wanted), the opposite side rather beats the Gothic Gothic architecture (that's what his wife, Lady Ann Bligh, liked).

  5. Malta, Mdina

The King's Landing is more handy than you would have imagined - the city of Mdina in Malta

It was hard to grasp the happiness of the shooting team after they endured the climate of Ireland and Iceland, and they got well in the middle of the Mediterranean climate in Malta. Well, how do you not burn to put it on a wedding when the tepid sand slammed under your soles, probably told Drogo and married Daenerys. And, although it was not the happiest scene, you still have a little tears drying up the beauty of the background of the defunct Window Window.

If you get there soon and you do not want people to walk in the footsteps of the two characters and put it for a wedding, enjoy some scuba diving and explore the blue waters that leave you speechless.

And you say right now: if you've been on the road until Malta and if the split between Ned and Catelyn Stark when the latter left the King's Landing (Season 1), you've been without a strain of sighing, Would you, good Christian, see the place of that good-looking kiss and your eyes glittering with emotion? Well, take a bus from the capital of Valletta, the one that departs every 10 minutes, in half an hour you reach Mdina, the first capital of the country, and all you have to do is watch your eyes as it enters through the maze of Golden streets.

  6. Greece, Meteora

You can not be tattooed in gray matter, Arryn House, one of the largest houses in Westeros, whose pure-blooded kings, reign over the mountains and valleys of the Eyrie ancestral chair under the responsibility of the East Guards! The anniversary of your best friend's look, but the Arryn House ... no story. We just do not get tangled up, we're already a ripe old age ...

If, after all that is done, your seat can not be found any more, and, curiously, are you one step away to crawl like a cruel egg escaped on the sandstone? We were thinking about it ... Well, we do not extend the outcome and we call you Arryn's Valley, in the known Universe, is nothing but the Greek Meteora, one of the most sophisticated attractions in the area, a place where hikers will feel that they have grabbed it The god of the foot, and the ones with a prominent inclination for old monasteries, even more so.

Make an effort of imagination and imagine that all the monstrosity of the monasteries here was erected in the 14th century by a gang of monks who had nothing else in hand than any prehistoric climbing equipment. You will find so much peace here, that it would be great to wonder if your heart is not gathered when you have to plunge back into the urban jungle. Make sure you see what the sun looks like when it comes down here and squint your ear at the songs of the Orthodox nuns left in the evening.

   7. Iceland

You know nothing, Jon Snow, but this is Grjótagjá cave in Iceland and the place where the two of them (they know)

We can talk to the producers of the film: "Ice Land, huh? Where do we go to God for this? We just do not wait until the winter to shoot the season ... "and the team member, who was probably the first salary, proposed," Well, we're not going to Iceland now, okay? " And they did not think so badly that only where do you find the harsh conditions in the Kingdom of the Beyond the Wall if not in Iceland? So the Ice and Fire World is nothing more than this North of the Clouds.

Looking through the memo book to the page when Jon and Ygritte softened our knees with their maddening night at the shelter of a cave, we easily remove the mystery blanket and go to the spot to see what and how. The above mentioned cave, in its real name Grjótagjá is located somewhere in the north-east of the country. What has made you fond of going to the facts is, without a doubt, the fact that, although outside may be the cold of the world, the hot water source inside the cave reaches temperatures of 50 ° C. And so we no longer wonder that Ygritte, without any doubt, has denied his clothes in about half a second.

After you flew up in Iceland, you will not be bullied at the end, leaving without seeing the Beyond the Wall. You will be happy to give the Vatnajökull National Park, which, surprisingly, also houses the largest glacier in Europe.
