Emerald Isle Game of Thrones Route

Make your way to Winterfell and explore the menacing forests, stunning landscapes and famous castles of the Seven Kingdoms

Few places in the world evoke the atmosphere of the famous series Game of Thrones as well as the Emerald Isle.

Here you'll find the recently opened Game of Thrones Studio Tour, the world's first behind-the-scenes tour based on the famous HBO series that promises to transport visitors to the very heart of Westeros through fascinating attractions, impressive sets, costumes and accessories, as well as digital content from state-of-the-art and interactive materials.

We have devised a fascinating road trip where a legendary map from fiction overlaps the real-world map to take you on a journey through an insane and astonishing series of jaw-dropping landscapes, amazing legends, historic castles, ruined abbeys, menacing forests, breathtakingly sheer cliffs, volcanic basalt corridors made for giants, picturesque harbours and remote beaches. Head for enigmatic Winterfell and get ready for an experience that wouldn't be out of place in a film. The 'Northern Ireland Game of Thrones Tour' is a magical journey that takes you to the heart of the Seven Kingdoms and some of the most extraordinary spots on the Emerald Isle. It's also the perfect excuse to explore one of the most beautiful and authentic corners of Europe at your own pace. On your road trip, you'll see some of the most memorable places in the series, including the Mourne Mountains, Tollymore Forest Park, Inch Abbey, Castle Ward, Cushendun Caves, the Glens of Antrim and Ballintoy Harbour. We'll wind along the Causeway Coastal Route, one of the most beautiful driving routes in the world. There we'll see the legendary Giant's Causeway, a natural wonder with UNESCO World Heritage status. And for urbanites, we'll round off our trip with visits to Dublin (Republic of Ireland), Belfast and Derry/Londonderry, three of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the Emerald Isle. Come to Ireland and discover a parallel universe divided into four continents and Seven Kingdoms. Sharpen your sword, adjust your shield strap and go forth on a journey to the real-world Westeros! You'll never want to leave. The itinerary includes some places that don't appear in Game of Thrones, but which we think are unmissable because of how important and spectacular they are.

Important remarks

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- From 5 March 2025, it is mandatory to obtain an ETA Electronic Travel Authorisation in advance and online to enter the United Kingdom. This form must be obtained through the website Apply for an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.

- This itinerary has been developed in collaboration with the Irish Tourist Office.

- Scenarios have been included that do not appear in Game of Thrones, but that are considered indispensable by its importance and spectacularity.
