Summary
Take this City break with us and visit Belgrade, capital of the Republic of Serbia. Over the years, this city has become a popular tourist destination, thanks to an interesting blend of building styles, a long history and a crazy nightlife.
Belgrade is located at the confluence of the Sava and the Danube. It is one of the most beautiful places in the whole Belgrade, a place where you can see a clear difference in the colors of the two rivers.
The most famous tourist guide “Lonely Planet” once placed the capital of Serbia at the top of the list of the 10 most exciting world cities for nightlife.
Belgrade has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and gastronomy, with its beauty and rich historical heritage.

We proceed with a walking tour of the city center and visiting the famous Knez Mihajlova street I, protected by law as one of the oldest and most valuable city monuments in Belgrade.
The street connects Kalemegdan Fortress and Republic Square. Always full of life, filled with shops, cafes and restaurants, Knez Mihajlova is the best place if you want to feel the pulse of Belgrade and admire different building styles.
Nearby is Skadarlija, one of an old street exclusively for pedestrians and one of the most famous sights in Belgrade. Almost every night as you walk through this stone bohemian district of Belgrade you can enjoy live music. Free time for lunch on your own.
In the afternoon we will go to the fortress Kalemegdan. Kalemegdan Fortress is located in the Old Town, at the intersection of the Sava and Danube. It is the most visited landmark in Belgrade, and in 1979 it was declared a cultural monument of exceptional importance.

Day at leisure or optional excursion to Novi Sad and national park Fruska Gora
Today, after breakfast we suggest a full day trip to Novi Sad, Sremski Karlovci and Fruska Gora.
Drive through the picturesque landscapes of Pannonia, listening to interesting stories told by our guide. Fruška gora is the largest mountain in the province of Vojvodina, and since 1960 it has been one of the five national parks in Serbia. 80 kilometers long mountain is called a ‘mirror of the geological past’ because of the numerous animal fossils found on it. The national park is full of monasteries, 35 of them to be precise, and they were built in the period from the 15th to the 18th century. The one we are visting -Krusedol was founded in the early 16th century, and it is probably the most important one. Monasteries are vital part of Serbian heritage as they ensured that Serbian identity and Orthodox religion would survive through difficult times during Turkish occupation.
Next stop is Sremski Karlovci , as many says Serbia’s prettiest town, famous for it’s beautiful architecture, rich history and winemaking tradition. Optional lunch at traditional Serbian restaurant with wine tasting.
In the afternoon we visit Novi Sad, a second largest Serbian city, the capital of Serbian autonomous province – Vojvodina. You will first visit city’s main attraction, the Petrovaradin Fortress, known as “the Gibraltar of the Danube’’, a stunning example of 18th century European military architecture. Here you can explore underground labyrinths that lie under the fortress – you will be fascinated. Later explore city’s historical center with your guide, learn about rich history and cultural diversity. Austria-Hungary style, is most visible in the main town square, Freedom square. From Freedom square stretches Zmaj Jovina Street, the most important pedestrian zone in Novi Sad, where a large number of cafes, summer gardens and shops for various purposes are located. Free time and return to Beograd.
