Split and the surrounding Dalmatian coast were among the most heavily used filming locations in Game of Thrones, and the Split basement halls beneath Diocletian's Palace appeared as Daenerys's dragon chambers in Meereen, while the streets of the Diocletian's Palace appeared as the city streets of Meereen itself. Themed tours (offered by several operators, about 2 hours) walk visitors through the specific locations used in the show, with photographs from each scene and explanations of what was filmed where.
The tours also typically include external locations — Klis Fortress (Meereen), Žrnovnica (the Sons of the Harpy attack), and Kaštel Gomilica (Braavos) — though the full itinerary for the extended-coast tours requires most of a day. Even for non-fans, the tours provide context for how Split's Roman and medieval architecture doubled for fantasy cities in one of the most successful TV productions ever made.
