The Game of Thrones Tour (Winterfell Day Tour)
Follow in the footsteps of the Iron Throne series!
The Dublin Winterfell Day Tour lasts a full day and starts in the morning from Dublin city center. We invite you to follow in the footsteps of the series, by visiting some of its most memorable filming locations. On the program: grandiose landscapes, thick forests, lakes, mountains, and above all, visits to castles! The icing on the cake: you’ll even be able to wield the series’ weapons!
Here’s an overview of the program:
