Indeed, it was. Kudos to, among others, the music director.

That first few minutes opening segment of the finale was the best editing I've ever seen in a TV show. And great use of piano.

So... only about 13-15 more episodes of the show left, the producers have confirmed. Which will be split across 2 seasons.

I know the season finale has come and gone. But since this is City-Data, I wanted to know what everyone's favorite city is on the show.

GoT does a great job of imagining cities and giving each of them their own personality. Most cities on the show (am a simpleton who hasn't read the books - ) are beautiful and dense and what we, as city-obsessed people, look for in great cities. Most of them are filmed in cities across Spain and Croatia and then CGI'ed beyond that. There's some really amazing looking cities on the show.

Which GoT city would you most wanna live in?

Also, does anyone who's read the books know which GoT city is the largest? Is it Braavos? And what's the approx population?

Thx

Braavos is one of the nine Free Cities in western Essos--remnants of the Valyrian Freehold empire (although Braavos was the only one that was never a colony of the Valyrians).


Free Cities - A Wiki of Ice and Fire



In Westeros, the majors cities from largest to smallest:

King's Landing
Oldtown
Lannisport
Gulltown
White Harbor


If I had to choose: probably Oldtown or White Harbor

Thanks! Interesting answers. Oldtown, huh? Looks to be in the South. Nice!

I'm surprised King's Landing is the largest. It seems so specific to a certain people and so...provincial, and not a melting pot metropolis. But maybe I'm wrong in my understanding of it. Is it like the NYC of Westeros?

Also, I remember the people of Qarth being super proud of their city and its beauty. What real world place would you compare it to? Savannah? Nice? Barcelona?

King's Landing is like the London of Westeros.


Qarth: --> Istanbul/Constantinople, Beirut, Alexandria, Venice
