Oh, Canada Feb 06


Our friendly & majestic neighbor to the the north. Often overlooked. I am a fan of train travel & I’ve written about the Canadian Rockies by Rail several times since I experienced it myself. As I’ve said many times, I would do this trip again – albeit on a different route. If it has been on your Travel Wish List, now is the time to seriously consider it for 2022!

CROATIA May 17

Croatia

“Explore Dubrovnik, the main film location in Croatia for King’s Landing. Cruises includes a day in Split, a town on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, known for its beaches & the fortress-like complex at its center. The medieval fortress Klis was featured in season 4 when Daenerys Targaryen & her army marches towards Meereen to free the slaves. The streets of Meereen were shot both on Klis Fortress & in Diocletian’s Palace in Split.”

Iceland May 13

Iceland

“Head “North of the Wall” in Iceland. Visit Grundafjordur, a quintessential Icelandic town. This small fishing village lies next to Mt. Kirkjufell, or “Church Mountain,” known in the GoT world as the mountain shaped like an arrowhead, pictured in season 7 when Jon Snow & his gang head north of the wall to find the army of the dead. Skogafoss waterfall was used in the first episode of season 8.

“Travelers can venture through Thingvellir National Park—known in GoT world as the Eyrie where Arya Stark traveled with The Hound. And life Beyond the Wall begins in Skaftafell National Park. The area’s wintery landscape will immediately be recognized as home to the Night’s Watch, Wildlings and the white walkers.”

Ireland May 11

Ireland
“Explore Westeros by land, starting with the Glens of Antrim—known as the Dothraki Sea on the show—where fans can look out at the Causeway Coast & imagine it filled with the nomadic Dothraki people & their fierce warriors. Fans will also recognize the site for the fatal scene where Ned Stark beheads the traitor from the Nights Watch.”

“Travelers can learn to “pay the iron price” at Ballintoy, site of the fictional Iron Islands, which is home to House Greyjoy. More photogenic destinations include The Dingle Peninsula’s Slea Head Drive, the Cliffs of Moher & Slieve League, Europe’s highest sea cliffs.”
