Skyrim Guide - All Dragon Shrines Locations

Here are the locations of every Dragon Shrine in Skyrim, just in case you're desperate to fight a dragon one-on-one.

Skyrim Dragon Shrines represent locations where you can always be sure to find a dragon, come rain, wind, or shine. Dragons provide a fiery challenge for even the most experienced Elder Scrolls veteran, but leave behind some fairly nice bonuses in the wake of their demise. In this Skyrim Dragon Shrine location guide we’ll give you all the info you need.
