Updated on 6/4/2018 at 7:45 PM

Now that another season of Game of Thrones has come and gone, we're ready to experience a taste of Westeros in any way we can. According to top travel site TripAdvisor, interest in GOT-inspired vacations has skyrocketed, with 10 filming locations from the show topping travelers' bucket lists. Appropriately, at the tippy-top of the list sits the filming location for Meereen, the pyramid city where Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons get their first taste of ruling a large civilization.

If you're planning a Game of Thrones pilgrimage, don't worry about consulting a maester for advice — TripAdvisor's findings will help you go beyond the Wall and more (minus the White Walkers, of course). Add these 10 spots from Westeros and Essos to your travel agenda ASAP!

Klis, Croatia — City of Meereen

You can take a tour of Meereen (complete with local gossip about goings-on at the HBO show's set) while in Croatia, or simply pretend like you're breaking the chains of Meereenese slaves — it's your prerogative.

Campillo de Dueñas, Spain — Tower of Joy

After the huge revelation that happened at this location in the season six finale, what Game of Thrones fan wouldn't want to visit the Tower of Joy?

Vik, Iceland — Frostfangs

Jon Snow fell in love with Ygritte in this scenic Icelandic spot, but you can enjoy the Frostfangs without any Wildling arrows flying your way.

Dimmuborgir, Iceland — Castle Black

Take a tour of Castle Black when visiting Iceland, and they'll also show you around the cave where Jon and Ygritte broke his Night's Watch vows (the seventh location on this list).

Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland — Beyond the Wall

This national park is almost too beautiful to imagine White Walkers smattering the landscape . . . almost.

Krka National Park, Croatia — Westeros Riverlands

Used for filming scenes throughout Westeros (including Arya and the Hound's journey), this national park features a gorgeous lake for swimming. Just check out the Instagram geotag!

Myvatn, Iceland — Beyond the Wall

This part of Iceland was used for shooting scenes north of the Wall, including that sexy encounter between Jon and Ygritte in a steamy cave.

Girona, Spain — Braavos

Explore the same streets where Arya learned the ways of the Faceless Men in Girona. Valar Morghulis!

Trsteno, Croatia — Red Keep Gardens

You might have watched Sansa and Margaery gossip about Joffrey in these gardens, but the Trsteno Arboretum is also just a beautiful spot to spend the day.

Mdina, Malta — King's Landing (season one)

Mdina was the setting for King's Landing way back in season one, so you can reminisce about the days when Ned Stark was still Hand of the King.
