About This Activity

Embark on a full-day guided tour from Belgrade and uncover the most fascinating historical and natural wonders of Eastern Serbia along the majestic Danube River. Enjoy the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off for a seamless travel experience.

Your journey begins with a visit to the Golubac Fortress, a medieval stronghold standing proudly at the entrance to the Iron Gate, Europe’s longest gorge and the Danube’s widest stretch. Upon arrival, marvel at this imposing fortress, which was among the top three location choices for filming the renowned Game of Thrones series. Explore its visitor center, ancient palace, and towering ramparts, all while soaking in breathtaking views of the Danube. You'll also have free time for lunch, allowing you to savor the beauty of this historic site at your own pace.

Next, prepare for an exhilarating one-hour speedboat ride through the Iron Gate, where towering cliffs and stunning landscapes create an unforgettable experience. Glide through the dramatic gorge, surrounded by nature’s grandeur, making this a true highlight of the tour.

To conclude your adventure, enjoy some leisure time for a delightful lunch, making this journey a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and thrilling exploration.

After lunch, visit a local rakija distillery where you'll see the entire production process of Serbia's beloved fruit brandy. Enjoy a guided tasting of three rakija varieties, each paired with traditional local meze.

From 6th November until 15th April, and also in case of unsuitable weather (wind or rain), instead of the speedboat ride we will visit Tumane Monastery. There is also the option to visit the Lepenski Vir archaeological site for an additional supplement of €10 per person, if the group members agree.
