On our way to the second-largest city in Serbia, we shall make a stop at the nearby town of Sremski Karlovci, the center of Serbian culture in the 18th century. Strolling through the cobbled streets of this picturesque town will lead us to the first Serbian academy, 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 pay a visit to one of the well-respected wine cellars? 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 pay a visit to 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 visit 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 (optional – not included).

   Overnight: Belgrade

3. Belgrade Big tour & optional Bohemian night

   Breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll start with our Belgrade sightseeing tour. In the next 6-8 hours we will show you almost all 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. Continuing with our tour, we’ll have a chance to see New Belgrade’s impressive modern architecture with remarkable buildings such as the Ex-Central Committee of the Communist Party, Federal Executive Council, also known as the Palace of Federation, Genex Tower, etc. Following, 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. Curvy cobblestone streets and small houses will give you the impression that Zemun is a melting pot of Mediterranean and Middle European cultures. Till the end of our sightseeing tour, we’ll see St Sava Temple, The National Assembly, Terazije Fountain, Slavija square, Republic Square, Dedinje neighborhood, Avala mountain with Avala Tower and The Monument to an unknown hero, Old and New Royal Palaces, The Moskva Hotel. When we finish the tour, we’re sure you’ll have a much clearer picture of the story behind this wonderful town.

   Time this afternoon on your own. Perhaps revisit the Old Bohemian Quarter of Skadarlija, frequently compared to Montmartre in Paris, both in appearance as well as in its artistic atmosphere. It’s a perfect opportunity to get more familiar with traditional Serbian cuisine, as well as with the famous Belgrade nightlife.

What is included

Meeting point and pickup

Pickup is offered in the supplier listing. Confirm the exact pickup location and time for your booking.

How to plan this experience

Compare the package with a hotel-only stay

The value of a city-break package depends on what you would otherwise organize separately. Compare the included hotel nights, airport transfers, sightseeing and excursions with your own plan. Flights are excluded, and the hotel depends on the category or package selected during booking.

Distinguish arrival days from sightseeing days

A four-day trip does not necessarily mean four full days of guided touring. The supplier’s programme separates arrival, the northern Serbia excursion, Belgrade sightseeing and departure. Your flight times affect how much free time is available on the first and last days.

Check what is optional

Read the programme for activities described as optional rather than counting every mentioned experience as an inclusion. In particular, compare the sightseeing route, meals and any evening arrangements against the final package summary. The northern Serbia day also makes this a different product from a Belgrade-only walking tour.
