Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge: Getting There and What to Expect
Updated October 22, 2026 · 5 min read
The Official Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge costs €28.14 and is rated 4.8 from 1,379 reviews. The listing describes it as the world’s only official Game of Thrones attraction, with real sets, original costumes and props across 15 galleries.
Where it is
The studio tour is at Linen Mill Studios, Ballievey Road, Banbridge, about 30 minutes from Belfast and 90 minutes from Dublin by the attraction’s own account. Banbridge is south-west of Belfast; it has nothing to do with the north coast locations, which are a separate trip (see Game of Thrones locations from Belfast).
Opening hours and booking
The official site says the tour is open daily 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and that tickets are booked online. Tourism listings show seasonal hours and a last admission, so check for your date.
Getting there from Belfast
The GetYourGuide listing says transfers from Belfast and Dublin are available. The listing shows 6.5 hours; whether that is the ticket alone or with the transfer is not clear from our information, so check it on the booking page before you plan the day around it.
By car it is about half an hour. The official site says there is free on-site parking and has a “Getting Here” page; tourism listings describe a free car park at the Boulevard Outlet Park in Banbridge with a shuttle bus to the entrance, so the two sources disagree; confirm before you drive. If you would rather not drive, the transfer from Belfast is the simpler choice. A car is the easiest way to combine the studio with another stop, and you can compare hire cars for Belfast.
What to expect
The listing promises sets you can walk through, original costumes and props. We have not seen inside, and we do not list what is in each gallery. The site is indoors, which makes it a good wet-weather plan in a region where the coastal tours depend on the day.
Who it suits: viewers of the series. Anyone who has not seen it will find less to hold them. The listing does not give an age limit, so check the booking page for minimum age and accessibility; the official site has an accessibility section.

Our pick
Fans with one day: the studio tour, if they prefer sets. Those who care more about landscape: the location day. The two are different days, not alternatives.
