Game Of Thrones Tour
Game of Thrones is one of the most successful fantasy television series of all time. Follow in the footsteps of your favourite characters in Malta, where the crew and its star-studded cast filmed many famous scenes. Start your journey in Valletta where the 17th century Fort Ricasoli doubled as The Red Keep at King’s Landing. Then, take a 20-minute drive (or a two-hour countryside walk) to Mdina, stopping off on the way at another Red Keep site, San Anton Palace and Gardens in Attard. This location is just steps from Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa. Upon arriving in Mdina, pass under the main gate, which was used as the entrance to King’s Landing, and explore the labyrinthine town that played a big part in filming – Piazza Mesquita, for example, held Littlefinger’s brothel. If you still have some energy left, take a one-hour walk to St Dominic’s Convent in Rabat, which played the Red Keep courtyard; or visit the equidistant Verdala Palace, the summer residence of the President of Malta, which acted as Illyrio’s mansion in the critical episode when Daenerys meets Khal Drogo.
