A tour of Fire & Ice (Game of Thrones Filming Locations in Malta)

Game Of Thrones Filming Locations In Malta.

Malta was used as the filming location in season 1, after which the production shifted to Croatia. In Malta, you can find the early scenes that took place in King's Landing and Pentos. Most of the filming was done around the town of Mdina.

The walled city of Mdina doubled up as King's Landing, the island's forts served as the Red Keep, and the stunning natural arch known as the Azure Window in Gozo (unfortunately collapsed) was the setting for Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen's wedding.

This trip will not include more than 8 people.

Included in the Tour is a Private Air-conditioned Brand new Minivan which will provide the transportation services for only 8 People (Maximum).

In addition to the above, a bottled water and a traditional Maltese snack will be included, bought fresh from a local shop made from local produce.

Travelers can opt for the option to be picked up at their preferred destination at no extra charge.
