Ever since finishing university 3 years ago, I have been full time travelling and volunteering for conservation projects. I absolutely love my lifestyle however can't lie tight budget is one of the downsides. Instead of giving up my travel dreams I just decided to become resourceful and find the perfect itineraries that still fit my tight budget and let me explore the world. Before every trip, I spend weeks planning and researching and it's one of my favourite parts of the adventure. However, I know it can be overwhelming and tedious at times so I decided to share my research and my itinerary with you. All places mentioned here are places where I have been/stayed/eaten myself and can give you an honest review.
In this guide, you'll find an itinerary through the Balkans meant to take you through 6 countries throughout 26 days following my footsteps. I'll share with you my recommendations of where to stay and what to do as well as a detailed outline of the full cost (accommodation and transport). You'll also find links to the accommodations I stayed in and all the bus/train companies I used. You'll also find a spreadsheet so you can adjust the itinerary to your own needs.

Do you still have a giant Game of Thrones shaped hole in your heart? Well what better way to fill it than by taking a trip to Westeros itself!
As any super fan knows Dubrovnik was used as the setting for the capital Kingās Landing, and for various spots around Essos, from season 2 onwards and I could not think of anywhere better to serve as a beautiful, medieval backdrop for one of the greatest TV shows ever made. Whatās more is, unlike Westeros, a holiday to Dubrovnik is unlikely to lead to your head on a spike by the city gates!
This guide includes:
- Some of the filming locations from the show and which scenes they were used
- Up to date prices for entrance to attractions around Dubrovnik
- Names of tour operators used by the Game of Thrones cast themselves
- Some behind the scenes knowledge provided by an extra
- Some history of Dubrovnik and the locations you will be visiting
- An interactive map of all locations mentioned
I have personally been to most of the locations listed in this guide (some more than once).
