Game Of Thrones

• Where is it filmed? Castillo de Zafra, Spain and Croatia
  
• Interesting facts: Game of Thrones has a wide range of filming locations, many of which are well-known among fans of the popular TV series. These locations include Iceland, Seville (where Dorne was brought back to life), Northern Island (location for Castle Black), and Dubrovnik in Croatia where most of the iconic places are filmed.

Narcos

• Where is it filmed? Medillin, Colombia
  
• Interesting facts: Medellin is no longer the city depicted in Narcos. Since the 90’s, the Colombian city has seen a great change and has been revived culturally and economically. The city was nominated as the ‘Emerging Culture City of the Year’ in 2018 at the Leading Culture Destinations awards and boasts beauty, culture and warm weather all year round. It is known for being called the ‘City of Eternal spring’ for its comfortable climate.
  
• Tips and advice:
  The FCO advise all visitors to carry a colour photocopy of the data page and Colombian visa from your passport for identification. It is also worth knowing that photographing military or strategic government sites is not allowed.
