Villa Loris is ideally located near to the popular tourist spot of Dubrovnik, a city known for its Old Town, encircled by 16th century stone walls, and its well-preserved architecture - including the baroque St Blaise Church, Renaissance Sponza Palace, and the Gothic Rector’s Palace, which is now a history museum. The city’s coastal location, fabulous restaurants, bars and shops, make Dubrovnik a must-see destination. Still, for Game Of Thrones fans, the city is arguably more popular because of its connection to King’s Landing, the capital of Westeros, and the fact that it is the backdrop to some of the well-known show’s most pivotal scenes. Fans can also see St Dominika Street, where Cersei made her walk of shame, and visit Pile Bay, which they’ll recognise from the show as Blackwater Bay. You’ll also be able to see the House of the Undying or the Minceta Tower - where Daenerys recovered her stolen dragons.
If you want to learn more about the real-life historical sights of the city, why not combine that with the chance to sample some fresh, local cuisine and book a Sights & Bites tour. Visit Dubrovnik’s top cultural sites while making regular stops to sample the city’s culinary delights, such as cheese, olive oil, seafood, fruit brandy, wine and more! An experienced local guide will lead you from Ploce gate through the walled city to the old port and through the main street of Stradun. During your trip, you can expect to sample baked black olives, capers, pickled shallots, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh, homemade bread as you enjoy four restaurant stops and partake in a cold starter, main dish, dessert, and to finish off, a local speciality - all washed down with plenty of good local wine and craft beers.
If you fancy a break from city life, one of the most popular excursions to take while visiting Dubrovnik is the short ferry ride to Lokrum Island. Here you’ll be able to wander through the gardens where peacocks and large rabbits roam free or spend the day at the beach. For Game Of Thrones fans, here is your chance to sit on the Iron Throne and visit another filming site at the Benedictine Monastery on the island.
