“The Queen Regent, you mean. Once I marry Joffrey, I’ll be queen. And if you were to marry Loras, your place would be at Highgarden, wouldn’t it? We would be sisters, you and I. Would you like that?“

Margaery Tyrell

Where did they film the scene where Margaery and Sansa talk about the marriage?

The terrace with its gorgeous view is part of the Trsteno Arboretum in Trsteno, Croatia. This arboretum has been used as a set for various scenes in Game of Thrones seasons 3 and 4.

To reach this specific terrace, visitors should descend the stairs from the pavilion to the seaside. Upon reaching the coast pathway, head west and follow the rising path until reaching a crossroad. Both terraces mentioned below can be found in the vicinity.

About the Trsteno Arboretum

Dating back to the 15th century, the Trsteno Arboretum holds the distinction of being the oldest in this part of the world. A viaduct was constructed to provide fresh water, connecting it to a fountain that irrigates many exotic trees and plants. Since 1948, it has been maintained by the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
