Game of Thrones revisited (2026): Dubrovnik, Seville, Iceland — what's still worth it

King's Landing still floods Dubrovnik in summer. The difference is that the city now charges €5-10 per day-tripper, restricts cruise ship entry, and has locals literally cursing tourists who stop for selfies on the Walk of Shame stairs. Seville continues to absorb the load better — the Real Alcázar is large, Plaza de España is huge, and the city has 700,000 inhabitants to dilute pressure. Iceland proved that extreme landscape self-regulates crowds: Vatnajökull doesn't become a selfie spot because the place reminds you that you're small. House of the Dragon S3, filming in Cáceres and Trujillo in 2026, will repeat the King's Landing cycle — only in a Spanish city of 96,000 people. This guide maps the locations still worth visiting, the ones that aren't anymore, and how to slip in the back door before the bottleneck tightens.
