It is wide enough for six four-horse chariots to race around its top abreast, as is done each year to celebrate the founding of the city. It protects the oldest part of the city on the eastern shore, often called Old Volantis. The Black Walls are a great oval of fused black dragonstone, harder than steel or diamond, built two hundred feet high by the Valyrian Freehold. The Black Walls of eastern Volantis protect a large labyrinth of palaces, courtyards, towers, temples, cloisters, bridges, and cellars. These two halves are connected by the Long Bridge. The older districts of the city lie upon the eastern banks, while the newer districts are located on the west. Volantis spreads across the mouth of the Rhoyne and across the hills and marshes on both sides of the river. Volantenes claim that the hundred isles of Braavos could be dropped into the harbor and disappear. Its large, deep harbor is ideally placed.

Many of the statues in Volantis lack heads - by Marc Fishman © In Volantis the nights are almost as hot as the days. According to Tyrion Lannister the city smells like an old whore. There is fish in it, flowers and some elephant dung, also something sweet and something earthy and something dead and rotten. There is also a smell that hangs in the air, rich, rank and pervasive. Quentyn Martell finds that the sullen wet heat of the city saps his strength and leaves him feeling dirty. Heat shimmers off the streets, giving a dreamlike quality to the surroundings. Beyond the waterfront and its breezes the streets and alleys of Volantis are enough to drown a man in his own sweat, as least on the eastern side of the river.

The climate of Volantis is hot and humid, the air is hot and heavy. Between Volantis and Slaver's Bay lies the Demon Road.

Volantis is the closest Free City to Slaver's Bay, lying approximately five hundred and fifty leagues from Meereen. The ruins of Sar Mell lie northeast as well. Volantis also controls the Rhoyne as far as the tributary river Selhoru, and holds sway over the Orange Shore, west of the city. The cities Volon Therys, Valysar, and Selhorys are located directly northeast of the city, and are ruled by Volantis. Volantis sprawls across one of the four mouths of the Rhoyne, where the river flows into the Summer Sea. Volantis is the southeastern-most of the Free Cities, located east of the Disputed Lands.
