Locals will probably tell you it’s more a question of „when“. Dubrovnik has been the most recognized tourism destination in Croatia for decades. Two centuries to be more precise. This picturesque medieval city is attracting people from all corners of the Earth each year, mostly during summer season, but more and more during spring and autumn as well.

There is plenty to see and do in Dubrovnik and its rich history, visible on every corner, has made it one of the most loved tourism destinations of East Mediterranean region. We already mentioned the city has seen its share of international productions filming movies or TV shows on its streets, but it was after HBO’s Game of Thrones started showing footage of Dubrovnik (playing the role of King’s Landing) that foreign guests started taking interest in filming locations. This lead to the creation of Game of Thrones Tours – walking tours taking guests around the filming locations – that quickly became some of the most popular and bestselling tours in Dubrovnik. Today, you can trust us when we say everyone in the city is excited about the announcement of Star Wars Episode VIII being filmed here. There are plenty of local fans of Star Wars franchise, but there are also those who are hoping Star Wars Tours in Dubrovnik might be the next big thing in the city’s offer of excursions.

What do you think? Will Star Wars Tours be more popular than Game of Thrones Tours?
