Description

Embark on a journey along the majestic Danube River as you travel from Belgrade to the stunning Golubac Fortress. Perched on towering cliffs at the river’s widest point, this medieval stronghold captivates visitors with its mystical towers and fairytale-like charm. Climb to one of the fortress’s viewpoints, and you’ll see why locals say the Danube resembles the sea from here. Experience breathtaking panoramic views from one of Serbia’s best-preserved fortifications. Next, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Kapetan Mišin Breg, an eco-ethno complex offering spectacular views of the Đerdap Gorge.

Marvel at the striking rock carving of Dacian King Decebal and catch a glimpse of the Mraconia Monastery on the Romanian side.

After an unforgettable day exploring history, nature, and culture, return to Belgrade with memories of the Danube’s timeless beauty.
