Day 2 (Thursday) Eastern Serbia: Golubac Fortress & Iron Gate Gorge

After breakfast, we continue our tour further to Serbia’s very east, to its border with Romania. We’ll spend two hours on the ride enjoying the beautiful landscapes and listening to interesting stories about this part of the country.

Our first stop for the day is the Golubac fortress. This defensive complex was used to defend many kingdoms through the centuries. Golubac is the perfect fairy-tale castle, wonderfully set off by its location in the rugged landscape at the head of Đerdap Gorge. There are nine towers in all, each between 20 and 25m high. With the fortress’s interesting position leaning over the Danube, they make Golubac undoubtedly one of the most beautiful castles along the 2850km Danube odyssey from source to the Black Sea.

After the fortress, we will stop at a unique, authentic restaurant with a fantastic view overlooking the Danube to enjoy a traditional lunch made of specialties of the cuisine of Eastern Serbia ( not included)

Danube Boat Ride:

After lunch, we will continue to the highlight of this excursion: a breathtaking tour through the Iron Gate (Gvozdena Kapija), where the Danube River is at its narrowest (just 140 meters) and deepest (90 meters). This natural marvel marks the start of the Great Kazan and Đerdap Gorge, once home to the first signal balloon station before the Đerdap Hydroelectric Power Plant.

We will first cruise along the Romanian shore, visiting Veterani Cave, dating back to Roman times. It once sheltered elite Dacian soldiers who ambushed Roman galleys to reclaim treasures taken by Emperor Trajan.

As we sail downstream, we pass New Dubova, a village rebuilt after the dam submerged the original. Nearby is the Mraconia Monastery, a 15th-century Orthodox nunnery, beside the massive rock statue of King Decebalus. Carved between 1994 and 2004, it’s the largest stone sculpture in Europe and stands as a powerful tribute to Dacian heritage.

Crossing to the Serbian side, we visit Trajan’s Plaque (Tabula Traiana), a Roman Latin inscription carved into the rock, commemorating Trajan’s bridge and road, only visible from the river.

Before returning to our departure point, our final stops include the peaceful retreat of Hajdučka Vodenica and the historic signal balloon stations of Varnica and Pena.

Here we will end this river journey where history, nature, and legend meet—only on the Danube.

After enjoying the river, it is time to return to the vehicle and return to Belgrade in the evening hours.

Overnight: Belgrade

Day 3 (Friday) Belgrade city tour, free afternoon & optional Bohemian Night

Breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll start with our Belgrade sightseeing tour. Today we’re going to show you almost the most important sights in the city.

We’ll start at the daunting Belgrade Fortress, dramatically perched above the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. Built between the 1st and 18th centuries, this Fortress witnessed major defensive battles. We’ll check the Victor Monument, the Monument of Gratitude to France, the Zindan Gate, the Chapel of Saint Petka, the Clock Gate, and the Clock Tower.

Once we finish with the Fortress, we will start our panoramic ride through New Belgrade – Belgrade’s largest municipality, with its impressive modern architecture. Here we will see some remarkable buildings, such as the Ex-Central Committee of the Communist Party, Federal Executive Council, also known as the Palace of Federation, Genex Tower or Western Gate of Belgrade, Sava Center, Belgrade Arena, and many more.

After New Belgrade, we’ll reach Zemun, the northern area of Belgrade, characteristic of its Central European appearance, charming quarters, cobblestone streets, and fish restaurants on the Danube river banks. Its curvy cobblestone streets and small houses will give you the impression that Zemun is a melting pot of Mediterranean and Middle European cultures.

After Zemun, we’ll drive through Dedinje, Belgrade’s most luxurious residential area, before we reach the imposing Saint Sava Temple, one of the world’s largest Orthodox churches.

After the sightseeing tour, time this afternoon on your own. Maybe check out Nikola Tesla’s museum and the National Museum, or wander around the central streets.

In the evening, visit the Old Bohemian Quarter of Skadarlija, frequently compared to Montmartre in Paris, both in appearance and its artistic atmosphere. It’s a perfect opportunity to get more familiar with traditional Serbian cuisine and the famous Belgrade nightlife. (Optional = 30€ per person)

Overnight: Belgrade

Day 4 (Saturday) Northern Serbia: Novi Sad & Sremski Karlovci

After breakfast, we shall make a trip to the City of Novi Sad. On our way to the second-largest city in Serbia, we shall stop at the nearby town of Sremski Karlovci, the center of Serbian culture in the 18th century. Strolling through this picturesque town’s cobbled streets will lead us to the first Serbian High School, which gave Serbian people several great writers and poets. Along the way, we shall pay a visit to the Old Patriarch’s Court and theological complex – Assembly Church and Theological Lyceum. Being in the very heart of the famous wine region, why not visit one of the well-respected wine cellars? We’ll try Bermet wine, the most famous product in the area.

Our next stop is the second-largest fortress on the Danube River – Petrovaradin, one of the most important strategic points in the perpetual war between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires. We shall be introduced to the legends of underground passages before we continue to “Serbian Athens”, as the City of Novi Sad is known.

As we stroll among great cultural institutions and historic buildings, we shall visit the oldest part of Novi Sad, the Zmaj Jovina pedestrian zone. Here we shall get introduced to the rich history of Novi Sad as we see the monument to Svetozar Miletic, the famous Novi Sad Cathedral, Episcopal Church… After our sightseeing, we will enjoy a traditional Serbian three-course lunch in one of the most famous restaurants in the area.
