Game of Thrones: an Unofficial Travel Guide Paul Oswell

Publisher Marketing: Have you ever wanted to wander around King's Landing, stride across the grounds of Winterfell or look out for White Walkers in the frozen wastelands north of The Wall? Do you want to live like lordly Tyrion Lannister, walk in the steps of warrior Jon Snow or gaze across mystical lands like Daenerys Targaryen? HBO's Game of Thrones transports us to glorious fictional worlds via some of the world's most beautiful scenery. This book explores the actual, real-life locations that fire our imaginations - the places that bring to life Winterfell, King's Landing, Dorne, North of The Wall and more. These are all places that you can visit, and this book tells you how. Get the inside track on where to go in Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Spain. Spectacular backdrops and the most breathtaking Medieval cities were painstakingly picked by the Game of Thrones locations team, and you too can walk the very same scenes as Tyrion, Jamie, Jon, Daenerys and Arya. This fully illustrated book tells you where the scenes are set in real life, how to get there, what else to look out for and when to go. It suggests hotels and other major sights, and even lists organised tours if you want to let someone else take up the organisational work for you. This book is a must for any Game of Thrones fan keen to see where the show's location managers and photographers took their inspiration from, and puts all of these places within easy reach. Each location is embellished with photographs, quotes from the show and interviews with crew members, giving you a real 'behind the scenes' look.
