Montana, USA (The Heart of Yellowstone Country)
Montana is practically a character in Yellowstone. Wide-open plains, rugged mountains, and endless skies define this part of the American West.
You can even visit the real-life Dutton Ranch—Chief Joseph Ranch, where parts of the series are filmed. Staying here gives you that full cowboy lifestyle experience, from horseback riding to waking up surrounded by untouched wilderness.
Yellowstone National Park
While not the main filming location, Yellowstone National Park captures the same raw beauty. Think geysers, roaming bison, waterfalls, and geothermal wonders.
It’s the kind of place where nature feels powerful and untamed—exactly the energy that defines the show.
Utah’s Wild West Landscapes
Parts of the show also tap into the dramatic desert scenery of Utah. The red rock formations and endless horizons feel straight out of a Western film.
If you love that rugged, frontier vibe—Utah delivers it in full.
Places to Visit if You Love Game of Thrones
Northern Ireland (Winterfell & The North)
Northern Ireland is basically Westeros brought to life.
Visit Castle Ward (Winterfell), walk along the haunting Dark Hedges, and explore rugged coastlines like Ballintoy Harbour.
Every turn feels like you’re stepping into a scene from the show.
Dubrovnik, Croatia (King’s Landing)
The stunning coastal city of Dubrovnik served as King’s Landing.
With its medieval walls, narrow stone streets, and sweeping sea views, it’s easy to imagine royal intrigue unfolding around every corner. You can even walk the city walls just like the characters did.
Iceland (Beyond the Wall)
For the harsh, icy landscapes north of the Wall, the show turned to Iceland.
Glaciers, volcanoes, black sand beaches, and frozen waterfalls create a world that feels almost otherworldly. It’s wild, remote, and unforgettable—perfect for adventurers.
Spain (Dorne & Dragonstone)
Spain brings two completely different vibes from the series.
The lush, sun-soaked gardens of Alcázar of Seville represent Dorne, while the dramatic coastline of Gaztelugatxe became Dragonstone.
What makes both Yellowstone and Game of Thrones so compelling isn’t just the story, it’s the sense of place. These locations feel bigger than life, almost mythical… until you realise you can stand there yourself.
Whether you’re chasing cowboy sunsets or walking medieval streets, these destinations let you step out of the screen and into the story.
