While it's easy for fans of
Game of Thrones to get so immersed in the show that we don't think about where or how they are filming the scenes, it can be fun to find out exactly where the series' most iconic moments really took place. You may have read about the fact that scenes beyond the wall are shot in Iceland, or that King's Landing is often filmed in Croatia, but this fan has done the research and come up with something a little different.
Andrea David, a Hamburg-based woman who describes herself as a "Set Jetter, Film Geek & Travel Blogger", has an amazing
Instagram where she goes to the real locations where movies have shot scenes, then compares them to a still from the film. Now she's set her eyes on Game of Thrones, revealing exactly where our favourite scenes really took place...
