The location used for Game Of Thrones are gorgeous on screen — and here’s all the proof you need that they’re gorgeous in real life, too. If you have always heard tell of the pristine beauty of Iceland but didn’t know for sure, just look to the later seasons of the show for proof. The distinctive rock at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea was filmed at Dyrhólaey in Iceland, while the fight between Brienne of Tarth and The Hound was filmed at Hengill.
Dragonstone has been one of the main locations on Game of Thrones in the latest season. If you want to visit it in real life, head to Itzurun Beach in Zumaia, Spain. Spend a few more days in the Mediterranean country to explore Dorne’s gorgeous Sunspear in Alcázar of Seville.
