"Game of Thrones" fans, it's time to get off the couch and travel the seven kingdoms!
You might be thinking you'll need a loan from the Iron Bank, but that isn't the case. Thanks to travel comparison tool liligo.com, you can see the world for a comparable price to most all-inclusive resorts.
The only catch is you'll need to hit the road this August. Focusing on next month, liligo.com determined both the cheapest and fastest routes to visit all the Game of Thrones locations.
You'll travel through three continents and nine countries. And of course, all seven kingdoms!
The journey would take one month to do, but the estimated time spent traveling is just under four days, which leaves so much time to explore some truly amazing destinations.
Liligo.com based this all on leaving from New York beginning August 3 and returning back to the Big Apple a month later, factoring in whether bus, train, airplane or perhaps even driving would be the best mode of transportation.
Belfast, Ireland is home to the main production headquarters for Game of Thrones filming. Having been, I can personally tell you the coast of Northern Ireland is truly breathtaking. The Ballintoy Harbour, aka the Iron Islands, is a gorgeous setting.
Walking along The Dark Hedges, where they filmed The King's Road, is a memory I'll cherish forever. It's currently the background on my phone, and I'll probably never change it.

In Iceland, you can visit where Jon Snow and the Knight's Watch filmed scenes. The frozen landscapes were ideal in setting the tone for the Wall.
(Pray to the old gods and the new that you don't run into a white walker though.)

Head to Doune Castle in Scotland to see where some of the filming for Winterfell took place. You'll especially love it if you're also a fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail since the castle was used in that movie as well.
Croatia is home to King's Landing. In the city of Dubrovnik, you can reenact Cersei's walk of shame by the Church of Saint Ignatius.
Dorne was set in Seville, Spain, with the Alcázar of Seville being a major tourist hub. The Bardenas Reales, Spanish Badlands, is the setting for the Dothraki Sea
Slaver's Bay City, Yunkai, was set in Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which just adds to the cool factor of this trip. Morocco's stunning clay architecture will leave you speechless.
Part of Season 1 was filmed in Malta, specifically the scenes for the Free City of Pentos. Head here to check out the courtyard outside of Littlefinger's brothel, as well as other King's Landing mainstays.
Due to legal restrictions on the transport of large animals, the scene where Brienne of Tarth is forced to fight a bear was filmed in Los Angeles.
A portion of Season 5 filmed with the wolves in Calgary, Alberta, Canada-specifically some scenes with Jon's direwolf, Ghost. While there, stop by the Calgary Film Centre to see what other hits are being filmed.
As for the pricing of this sensational journey, it will cost you close to $2,500, but the price drops to around $2,200 if you opt to not visit the smaller sets in Calgary and Los Angeles. You'd pay around that total for a week-long trip to an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean.
Or, instead, live out your "Game of Thrones" fantasy traveling the world!
