The production team of HBO’s epic series ‘Game of Thrones’ does not spare any costs when it comes to trying to immerse its millions of fans around the world in the atmosphere of the fantasy world. This is the reason it travels all its crew and teams around the globe to the most beautiful locations. Here is a list of the real places we see in the Game of Thrones series:

Castle Ward is a real-life castle built in the 18th century. The property is open to the public year-round.

The turrets and buildings were transformed into the iconic Stark household: Winterfell.

It looks like winter has come to Cairncastle, the location used to film scenes taking place outside the walls of Winterfell.

Ironically, the landscape was snow-free when the pilot episode was filmed.

Even farther north, Vatnajokull National Park in Iceland contain stunning mountaintops and glaciers.

Jon Snow and the wildlings trucked through stretches of the park in season two.

Another Icelandic location used was Svinafellsjokull, with more snowy ridges and icy ground to utilize.

The Fist of the First Men, where Sam finds the stash of dragonglass, was filmed in Iceland.

Let’s head to the coast. Ballintoy Harbor, on the coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland, is a small fishing haven.

In season two, the harbor was transformed into Pyke of the Iron Islands — home to Theon Greyjoy and his family.

Larrybane Bay is another coastal landmark you can explore on the app. The limestone cliffs serve as the Stormlands on “Game of Thrones.”

Here’s an aerial view of the bay, transformed into Renly Baratheon’s camp for season two.

The bustling city of Dubrovnik in Croatia has become a hot destination in the years since “Game of Thrones” premiere

Scenes from King’s Landing are filmed there. Producers even kept the red-tiled roofs as a city-feature.

The Dark Hedges are a well-known attraction located in Stranocum, Northern Ireland. The beech trees were planted by an 18th century family.

In season two, the Dark Hedges served as the Kingsroad, carrying Arya away from King’s Landing.

West of Antrim town in Northern Ireland, the Toome Canal is a small waterway.

Jorah and Tyrion’s dangerous venture through Valyria was created using the canal to film the boat’s slow progression. Details were later added with CGI.

Murlough Bay, also in Northern Ireland, is the perfect setting for the fictional Slaver’s Bay — note the sharp cliff face in the background.

Another area you can virtually tour on the app is Quintin Bay, home to Quintin Castle, built in 1184.

The Quoile River in County Down, Northern Ireland, can be found in this scenic woodland area.

Jaime and Bronn encountered several Dornish horseback riders on these dunes in season five.

The Alcázar of Seville is a historic royal palace featuring lush gardens and detailed architecture.

The interior of the palace is just as exciting as the exterior, with elaborate mosaics and tiled floors.

Córdoba, located in southern Spain, is home to this arched Roman bridge.
