GAME OF THRONES VS MAD MEN

Two mega-shows return this month, Game of Thrones (13 April) and Mad Men (9 April). From a citadel of intrigue to ’60s New York, we explore some of the locations featured in both the series

The Croatian city of Dubrovnik is the real-life King’s Landing (minus murders and battles), as well as a few other locations from HBO’s fantasy series Game of Thrones. Head to its highest point, Minčeta Tower (above), for a great view over the distinctive orange rooftops. This spot also represents the walls of the House of the Undying, where Daenerys Targaryen searches for an entrance. The twisting pines of Gradac Park, meanwhile, provided shade for King Joffrey (left) at his very memorable wedding feast. Mad Men’s title refers to the epicentre of New York’s advertising industry, Madison Avenue, where many key scenes in this stylish AMC drama were shot. Spanning the late ’50s to early ’70s, the series charts changing fashions in the Big Apple. After one successful pitch, execs from agency Sterling Cooper drink beer and dance to Chubby Checker’s hit song The Twist at a little brick saloon on the corner of 55th Street and Third Ave named PJ Clarke’s (above; pjclarkes.com). In a later episode, creative director Don Draper (right) takes a date for teppanyaki at the Japanese restaurant Benihana (benihana.com).
