Day 1
Landmarks of Serbia
Your Serbian host will pick you up at your hotel in the morning. The first stop on the tour is when we reach the Danube bank. Sights in front will be the town of Golubac and the Golubac fortress. We will explore fortress surroundings from the newly constructed visitor’s center where you’ll be able to dig into more distant, but also more recent events and history. Straight from Golubac, we continue down the Danube road. After only 30 minutes we arrive at Lepenski Vir – the oldest organized settlement in Europe. The road takes us further through the town of Donji Milanovac towards the prettiest part of Iron Gate, ravines Mali and Veliki Kazan. This is the place where all famous photos of the gorge were taken. If you opt for a private boat ride through the ravines, you’ll get a much better perspective on Tabula Traina, Decebalus rock statue and you get to chat with the boat captain. (extra cost) After all the excitement and views, we stop for a deserved lunch break. The best possible place to experience local hospitality, food, and charm is Captain Misa’s Hill. Kind hosts will serve traditional local food in authentic surroundings with the most fascinating views. After lunch, we are getting back to Belgrade where we arrive in the evening.
