Map of Westeros

Map of Westeros and Essos

Westeros is a single long continent; Essos, across the Narrow Sea, is far larger and stretches east beyond the edge of any map. This page shows how the two relate and where the Free Cities lie in relation to the Seven Kingdoms.

At its narrowest, near the Stepstones, the Narrow Sea is only a short sail wide, which is why Dorne and the Stormlands have always traded and fought with Tyrosh, Lys and Myr. Farther north the sea widens: Braavos lies north-east of the Vale across open water, and Pentos sits opposite the Crownlands, a few days' sail from Dragonstone.

Essos itself continues far to the east through Volantis and the Rhoyne, the Dothraki Sea, Slaver's Bay and Qarth to Asshai by the Shadow. Our map focuses on Westeros, so only the western coast of Essos is shown; the Free Cities are marked in the positions they hold on the official maps.

The Free Cities on the map

  • Braavos — Northernmost and wealthiest of the Free Cities, built on lagoon islands across the narrow sea.
  • Pentos — Free City on the narrow sea opposite Westeros, ruled by wealthy merchant magisters.
  • Myr — Free City on the narrow sea known for lenses, lace and its skilled crossbowmen.
  • Tyrosh — Free City on an island at the top of the Stepstones, known for dyes and sellswords.
  • Lys — Free City on a warm island south of the Stepstones, famous for pleasure houses and poisons.
  • Volantis — Oldest and southernmost Free City, built at the mouth of the Rhoyne on the Summer Sea.
  • Andalos — Ancient homeland of the Andals in western Essos, rolling country north of Pentos.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Westeros from Essos?

It depends where you cross. From Dorne to the Stepstones and Tyrosh is a matter of a day or two; from King's Landing or Dragonstone to Pentos is several days by ship; the crossing from the Vale to Braavos is longer still.

Which is bigger, Westeros or Essos?

Essos is far larger, several times the size of Westeros, though much of it is steppe, desert and unexplored land in the east.

Where is Valyria on a map of Westeros and Essos?

Valyria sits on a peninsula in the Smoking Sea, south-east of Volantis and roughly a third of the way along the southern coast of Essos. It is far outside the area our map covers, which stops at the western coastline. The Doom shattered the peninsula into islands four hundred years before the story begins, and ships still avoid the waters around it.

Is there a high resolution Westeros and Essos map to download?

The download page offers the map at 4000 x 6000 pixels as a PNG and as a scalable SVG. Both include the western coast of Essos with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys and Volantis, so they work as a combined Westeros and Essos map. Both are free for personal use with attribution.
