Step Into the World of Meereen

Split, Croatia, served as the primary filming location for the city of Meereen in HBO's Game of Thrones, offering a stunning backdrop of ancient Roman architecture and rugged Mediterranean landscapes. On these curated tours, you will wander through the 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace, specifically the subterranean cellars where Daenerys Targaryen kept her dragons. Beyond the city walls, the imposing Klis Fortress stands as the real-life setting for the gates of Meereen, where the 'Kill the Masters' revolt took place. Whether you are a die-hard fan looking for behind-the-scenes stories or a history buff interested in how Roman ruins were transformed into a fantasy epic, our partner tours provide the perfect blend of cinematic magic and authentic Croatian history.

Planning

Historical Context

Built by Emperor Diocletian in 305 AD, the palace served as his retirement home. It transitioned from a Roman villa to a medieval city over centuries.

Photography Tips

  • Use a wide-angle lens for the palace cellars
  • The golden hour at Klis Fortress provides stunning cinematic lighting for landscapes
  • Turn off your flash in the cellars to capture the natural atmospheric lighting

Insider Tips

  • Visit Klis Fortress late in the afternoon for the best photos without shadows
  • The GoT Museum near the Golden Gate is a great indoor activity if it gets too hot
  • Bring a bottle of water as there are few shops at the top of Klis Fortress

Our Partners

  • In partnership with Viator and local licensed Dalmatian tour operators.

Fun Facts

  • The dragon cellars were actually used for waste storage in Roman times, which ironically preserved them perfectly for 1,700 years!
  • The 'Kill the Masters' scene involved hundreds of local extras from Split.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before the start time. Check individual tour terms for late cancellation policies.

Absolute must for fans!

The guide was incredible! He actually worked as an extra during the filming of the Meereen scenes and had so many behind-the-scenes stories. Standing in the dragon's cellar was a highlight of my trip to Croatia.

Perfect blend of history and GOT

I was worried my husband (not a fan) would be bored, but the history of Diocletian's Palace is so rich that he loved it too. The views from Klis Fortress are worth the trip alone.

Great experience but lots of walking

The tour was fantastic, but be prepared for a lot of steps, especially at Klis. Wear good shoes! The cellar entrance being included in the price was very convenient.

Walking like Khaleesi!

A dream come true. Our guide showed us the exact spots where the Unsullied marched. Booking through this platform was seamless and the instant confirmation gave us peace of mind.

Klis Fortress is spectacular

I highly recommend the tour that includes Klis. It's only 20 minutes from Split and the Game of Thrones museum there is small but very cool for fans.

Highly Professional

The guide's English was perfect. They used iPads to show scenes from the show while we stood in the actual locations. It really brought the stories to life.

Value for money

The 90-minute tour of the palace was the perfect length for us. We learned about the Roman Emperor and the Mother of Dragons in one go. Great price too.

Wonderful Memories

Everything was well organized. We met at the Golden Gate easily. The small group size made it feel very personal. I took so many photos!
