Dubrovnik never ceases to amaze, blending its rich history with unexpected delights. From exploring Game of Thrones filming locations to ice skating by the beach, Day 2 offered the perfect mix of fantasy, family fun, and adventure. Whether you’re a fan of epic TV dramas or just love discovering something unique, Dubrovnik seems to have it all.
Our day began with a journey through the iconic Old City, where we joined a Game of Thrones tour. Walking through these narrow, sunlit streets, it was easy to imagine being transported to Westeros. We stood at the gates of the Red Keep, retraced Cersei’s infamous “Walk of Shame” down the legendary steps, and heard fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from our guide (who was a shitless slave). Even without watching the show, the city’s medieval charm is enough to captivate anyone. But for fans like me, it was pure magic to see the locations brought to life.
After soaking in the fantasy world, we shifted gears and made a stop at a local play area. Georgia and Dotty were thrilled, burning off some energy as they ran and climbed, then we popped to a small cove where Geogia looked for sea glass (the best treasure). Their joy in these simple things reminds us why these little moments are just as important as the grand adventures.









Later in the afternoon, we decided to mix it up and caught a bus to a beach that promised a unique surprise an ice rink! Yes, ice skating by the Adriatic Sea. Georgia and I laced up our skates and spent 45 unforgettable minutes gliding (and occasionally wobbling) on the ice. It was such an amazing experience to enjoy a winter activity in this coastal paradise. For a moment, we forgot we were in sunny Croatia!
Once our legs were tired from skating, we took a peaceful walk down to the shore. The beach was serene, the waves lapping gently as we strolled along the beach. Rounding the corner, we discovered even more hidden beauty rugged cliffs meeting the clear blue waters, framed by the soft light of the late afternoon. It was the perfect way to wind down after such an eventful day where Georgia spotted Fish, Starfish and Sea Urchins in the clear water from the edge.
Dubrovnik is a city that offers surprises at every turn, blending history, nature, and family-friendly fun in ways you might not expect.
Thinking of visiting Dubrovnik? Don’t just stick to the old city walls. Dive into the unexpected! Take a Game of Thrones tour to see where fantasy meets reality, let the kids run free in a local play area, and, if the season is right, try something completely out of the ordinary like ice skating by the beach.
