Tour of Game of Thrones Locations in Ireland

Fans of Game of Thrones have also been captivated by the locations where the series is set, as well as by the story itself. In this regard, here are some interesting Northern Ireland itineraries to retrace the places where the events of Game of Thrones take place.

Belfast was the hub of artistic productions, coordinating every organizational and location aspect for all four seasons of the series: most shootings were indeed done at the Titanic Studios, as well as at certain sites in Northern Ireland.

It’s therefore possible to join the Game of Thrones Tours, organized by the tourist coach company McComb’s Coach Travel. A visit to the Causeway Coastal Route is indispensable, as it was used for numerous scenes of Game of Thrones.

Another place full of charm is The Dark Hedges, a tunnel formed by the intertwining of trees over the centuries.

Starting from Belfast, visitors will travel through County Antrim to reach Ballycastle, the town that is the birthplace of Varys and Lady Catelyn Stark.

You will also visit the Cushendun Caves, Ballintoy (the port of Pyke of the Iron Islands), and Downhill Strand (Dragonstone).

Finally, the tour includes sites that, although not specifically filmed for Game of Thrones, still represent the natural cinematic set used for many other films and series. For example, the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, a rope bridge suspended between the Carrick islet and the mainland.
Another included stop is the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and thus well worth attention.
