Direct answer
The show never reveals the destination. Drogon carried Daenerys's body away from King's Landing and was last reported flying east.
## What the finale confirms
In Season 8, Episode 6, “The Iron Throne,” Drogon finds Daenerys after Jon Snow kills her, melts the Iron Throne, gently takes her body in his claws, and flies away. Later, Samwell Tarly tells Bran Stark that Drogon was “last seen flying east.”
## What remains unknown
“East” is the furthest canon answer. The series does not name a city or region, show Drogon landing, reveal what happened to Daenerys's body, or confirm whether Bran ever found Drogon after saying, “Perhaps I can find him.”
## Popular theories
Volantis and Old Valyria are common fan theories because both lie east of Westeros, and Volantis has ties to the Red Priests and resurrection lore. However, neither location is confirmed in HBO television canon, and the finale gives no evidence that Drogon intended to have Daenerys resurrected.
## Book-canon distinction
There is no book-canon equivalent yet. In the published A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Daenerys is still alive, so Drogon's removal of her body is exclusively a television-series event.
