Game of Thrones Malta Guide

I’m a nerd. Like honestly. Yes, I love Game of Thrones, so I needed to check out the Game of Thrones Malta locations.

Game of Thrones Malta

Many first-season scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed in Malta. (Check out this map for all the Game of Thrones filming locations.) If you’ve been to Malta, you won’t be surprised. At many places on this island, you feel like you’re walking through another world or another time. Especially Mdina really fascinated me. When you’re walking through its narrow streets, you’re just waiting for the Kingsguard to come round the next corner, or you’re looking for a pile of horse dung, just in case you’ll be meeting Joffrey.

Which scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed in Malta?

Game of Thrones Malta Location 1 – Mdina Gate was used as King’s Landing Gate in episode #103, “Lord Snow” when Catelyn Stark and Ser Rodrik ride into the city.

Take the Malta Walking Tour linked since they will point out these locations! The tour will take you to two of the main towns of Malta: Mdina and Rabat. They will stop along the way to serve you Maltese food and local craft beers. They will also tell you the history of Malta and the many invasions over their history. Highly recommend this tour as it was a highlight of our trip to learn about Malta, eat delicious food and see some of our favorite Game of Thrones Filming Locations! The other stop on our Malta trip that we loved was Valletta; make sure it makes your plans to check out the famous Malta Balconies!

A lot of the later seasons of Game of Thrones were filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia. They have a designated Game of Thrones Walking Tour in Dubrovnik so make sure you check it out if you are in Croatia!
