Half-Day Game of Thrones experience!

Don’t miss out the opportunity to visit these filming locations, awarded in 2018 in the category “Outstanding Locations in a Period Television Series” by the Location Managers Guild International.
ITINERARY
- Departure from Bilbao at 9AM
- San Juan de Gaztelugatxe (2h stay approx)
Dragonstone. Here is where Daenerys and Jon Snow meet for the first time. In real life, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe is not a big castle but a small hermitage on the top of 241 steps located on the Basque Coast. - Butrón Castle (15 minute stay approx) Photo Stop
While it wasn’t featured on Game of Thrones, this castle has a fairy-tale look about it inspired by Bavarian castle models. It is a perfect place to take photos and feel like a lord or a lady of Winterfell dressed up with swords and cloaks. - Barrika – Muriola Beach (30 minute stay approx)
King’s Landing. Here we saw Davos, Tyrion and Gendry. On season seven the Gold Cloaks try to stop Tyrion from leaving King’s Landing and when Davos can’t buy their silence, Gendry decides to act. - Return to Bilbao at 2.30PM approx
