There is good news and bad news to this story. The places that want you to visit, aren’t open yet, but the places you can see now, may not want you to come.

FIRST THE GOOD NEWS:
HBO announced plans to convert several Game of Thrones filming locations in Northern Ireland into tourist attractions. The network is considering including the sets for iconic locations from the show such as Winterfell, Castle Black and Kings Landing, alongside a formal studio tour of Linen Mill Studios, which will showcase material from the series spanning all seasons and settings.

HBO is tentatively targeting 2019 to open the Game of Thrones attractions!!!!

Other shooting locations have already seen an incredible boon of visitors since the HBO show started airing.

But the bad news comes from Croatia, where the crowds are overwhelming.

From Time.com:

Cersei Lannister march through the busy streets of King’s Landing for her walk of atonement as Septa Unella rung a bell, yelling, “Shame! Shame! Shame!” But those streets featured in HBO’s mega-hit are now similarly crowded in real life. A tourist boom has hit Dubrovnik, Croatia — so much so that the city is now trying to combat overcrowding.
