In 2019 it was estimated that £251 million had been brought to Northern Ireland's economy since production began in 2010, with Tourism Northern Ireland suggesting that 350,000 visitors come to the country every year specifically for Game of Thrones.
So where is House of The Dragon filmed, you ask? Many of the recurring indoor stage sets were filmed right here in Paint Hall studios in Belfast.
Thronies, as they call themselves, have already discovered the city of Belfast and greater parts of Northern Ireland as the perfect place to come see actual film locations of the hit television series Game of Thrones. But now a wider range of viewers (and readers) are following in the footsteps of the mythological characters as familiarity soars.
Based on the fantasy book A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin it follows various families and all their intrigue – which includes plenty of sex, violence, and of course these Northern Irish moody landscapes. The story line, dark at the most of times, romances perfectly with the hostile landscape on the east coast of the country and that is what fans are coming to see for themselves.
