Have you ever wanted to wander around King's Landing, stride across the grounds of Winterfell or look out for White Walkers in the frozen wastelands north of The Wall?

This book explores the actual, real-life locations that fire our imaginations - the places that bring to life Winterfell, King's Landing, Dorne, North of The Wall and more. These are all places that you can visit, and this book tells you how. Get the inside track on where to go in Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Spain. Spectacular backdrops and the most breathtaking Medieval cities were painstakingly picked by the Game of Thrones locations team, and you too can walk the very same scenes as Tyrion, Jamie, Jon, Daenerys and Arya. This fully illustrated book tells you where the scenes are set in real life, how to get there, what else to look out for and when to go.
