Gaame of Thrones

This post is dedicated to all of the Game of Thrones fans out there.
Dubrovnik is home to many scenes in the upcoming season 4 of Game of Thrones and my adventurous friends and I went to explore one of the sets, Hotel Belvedere.

During the Croatian War of Independence in 1991, there was the Siege of Dubrovnik. The Siege was a military engagement fought between the Yogoslav People’s Army (JNA) and Croatian forces defending the city of Dubrovnik and its surroundings.

The five-star resort was located on the rocks overlooking Dubrovnik, and began receiving guests in 1986. It was forced to close just six years later, after becoming a JNA target. During the first few months of the war, the hotel had served as a refugee shelter. Former guests and employees remember it as a modern, luxury hotel with 18 levels, its own boat launch, and wide balconies with gorgeous views. Current travelers who stumble upon this abandoned hotel see it very differently.

After walking along the Adriatic for about 2 miles we finally found the hotel or at least what was left of it. Picture massive pools, now empty and full of debris, once beautiful fountains and walls spray-painted, with make shift skate ramps tucked into the lips of pools, alongside the beautiful Adriatic.

Our main goal of exploring the hotel was to find exactly where Game of Thrones was filming in the hotel. After walking down about 150 stairs we stumbled upon where the main scenes were filmed.

While GOT was filming season 4 they posted many sneak peak pictures from the set.

GOT fans should get excited for season 4, especially the scenes shot in Dubrovnik.
