Mdina Film Tour: Game of Thrones Malta and Cinematic History Come Alive

If you are looking for the ultimate Game of Thrones Malta filming locations experience, the Mdina Film Tour offers a deeper, more immersive way to explore the island’s cinematic past. Set within the atmospheric walled city of Mdina, this experience combines history, storytelling, and film in one unforgettable walk through Malta’s former capital.



Mdina – the heart of film tours in Malta

Mdina is often described as a natural film set. Its narrow winding streets, fortified walls, and medieval architecture have made it one of the most iconic destinations for film tours in Malta. Over the years, more than 100 international productions have filmed here, helping Malta earn its reputation as “Hollywood in the Mediterranean.”


Game of Thrones in Mdina

One of the tour’s biggest highlights is its connection to Game of Thrones. In Season 1, Mdina famously transformed into King’s Landing, bringing the capital of Westeros to life. Fans searching for Game of Thrones Malta filming locations will instantly recognise several streets and gates that appeared on screen.

More iconic film locations

Beyond Game of Thrones, the tour also explores Mdina’s appearance in major productions such as The Count of Monte Cristo and Napoleon. These productions showcase how Mdina has convincingly doubled as historical European cities, colonial ports, and epic cinematic backdrops across different eras.


A film tour beyond the ordinary

This is not your average walking tour. What makes it stand out among film tours in Malta is the use of an interactive mobile app. At each filming location, guests can instantly view video snippets of the exact scenes shot there, comparing the real-life setting with its on-screen appearance. This brings Mdina’s cinematic history to life in a way that traditional tours cannot match.


Why Mdina is a filmmaker’s dream

With its preserved medieval charm and dramatic atmosphere, Mdina continues to attract major productions and world-famous directors. Its versatility allows it to become anything from King’s Landing in Game of Thrones to historic 19th-century cities seen in classic literature adaptations like The Count of Monte Cristo.


The Mdina Film Tour is more than sightseeing as it is a journey through cinema. From Game of Thrones Malta filming locations to epic films like The Count of Monte Cristo, this experience shows why Mdina remains at the heart of film tours in Malta, offering visitors a truly immersive way to step inside movie history.
