The stops
- Mdina Gate — King's Landing's main gate: Catelyn Stark and Ser Rodrik ride in through it (S1E3). Park outside the walls and walk in.
- Pjazza Mesquita — Littlefinger's brothel and the street where Jaime's men ambush Ned (S1E5). Three minutes' walk from the gate.
- San Anton Palace Gardens — The Red Keep's gardens in Season 1. The public gardens are free during opening hours; the palace is the President's residence and not open.
- Fort Manoel — The plaza of the Great Sept of Baelor, where Ned Stark confesses before the crowd (S1E9). The island walk is free; the courtyard opens only on occasional open days.
- Fort Ricasoli ⛔ — The Red Keep's King's Gate (S1E3). A working film backlot, not open to visitors: see it from the water or across the harbour mouth.
- Mtaħleb Cliffs & Valley — Khal Drogo's camp outside Pentos (S1E1). Open countryside; the cliff paths are unpaved.
- Dwejra / Azure Window site — The Dothraki wedding by the sea (S1E1). The arch fell in 2017; the bay, the Inland Sea and Fungus Rock remain.
Planning it
Day 1: Mdina and Pjazza Mesquita in the morning, San Anton Gardens at midday (10 minutes' drive), Mtaħleb for sunset. Day 2: Fort Manoel from the Gżira side, a harbour boat past Fort Ricasoli, then the ferry to Gozo for Dwejra, or keep Gozo for a day of its own.
Most of these places are a long bus ride apart. Our guide to renting a car in Malta covers parking in Valletta, the Gozo ferry and the road rules.
