We all came to love the famous Game of Thrones series because of its many plot twists, unexpected events, and amazing characters, but have you ever noticed what's going on in the background of all this action? No, not CGI landscapes and well-crafted soundstages, but rather very real and amazingly beautiful views of nature and ancient cities. Visiting those places can leave one speechless because of their grandiosity and the fact that many cruel plot twists happened exactly in those spots.

To make your search of those iconic places easier, we've compiled a list of Game of Thrones locations paired with the scenes that happened there. A great hint if you'd like to reenact them, too! From the age-old fortresses on the shores of Croatia to the breath-taking beauty of Iceland, you'll find all the crucial spots used in filming the cult series. You really don't have to be a super fan to enjoy these views!

Scroll down below to check our compilation of side-by-side comparisons of Game of Thrones scenes and the filming locations as they look in real life. Don't forget to vote for the most stunning ones and tell us what you think in the comments!

    I think you have that backwards. She was leaving Dorne back to King's Landing shortly before dying from the kiss.

    Ok I can maybe excuse the constant references to King's landing's gardens as highgarten, but this scene obviously took place right after Jon and DAny arrived in Winterfell. It's supposed to be in the North, not on Dragonstone. Yall really out here believing every Tyrell scene is set in highgarten and every targaryen scene is set in dragonbstone huh

    If they created the sept using CGI, where did they film the interior? It was an amazing structure on the inside.

    Funny. You can see the mortar lines of the street pavers in the top picture, through the dirt.
