Dubrovnik
Croatia has become a desired filming location for international film productions over the last decade.
One of the most popular movie locations in the country is Dubrovnik. The southern Dalmatian city has attracted a number of movie productions, including recently Star Wars and Robin Hood.
Dubrovnik has also been included on a list of the 50 most beautiful movie locations in the world by Big 7 travel.
“Dubrovnik is best known as the King’s Landing in the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones, but it’s also a popular location for blockbuster movies. Most recently, it was transformed into medieval Nottingham in the Robin Hood movie starring Jamie Foxx, Jamie Dornan and Taron Egerton,” Big 7 wrote.
