Fruška Gora Monasteries

Embark on a captivating journey from Belgrade to the enchanting northern Serbian province of Vojvodina. As you leave the city behind, enjoy an hour of scenic views over the colorful Pannonian Plain while your guide shares intriguing tales of the region’s fascinating and often turbulent past. Arriving in the scenic Fruška Gora, a hidden gem known as the ‘Holy Mountain of Serbia,’ you’ll discover a region home to more than 16 medieval Orthodox monasteries. Steeped in history and spiritual tradition, this serene landscape offers a rare glimpse into centuries-old monastic life, culminating in a visit to one of its most revered sites.

Sremski Karlovci

As you make your way to Sremski Karlovci, a charming quiet Baroque town filled with small houses, churches, palaces, gardens, and a rich history. Don’t miss the town’s main square, home to the Four Lion Fountain and the Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas. Each of these sites offers a glimpse into the town’s vibrant past and architectural beauty. Savor the legendary ‘Bermet,’ a unique Serbian wine that was once served on the Titanic – a true taste of history.

Petrovaradin Fortress

Journey to the impressive Petrovaradin Fortress, one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved fortresses. Built by the Austrian Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries, it played a crucial role in defending Europe from Ottoman invasions. As you explore its labyrinthine gates, enjoy sweeping views of Novi Sad and the mighty Danube River. The fortress houses fascinating sites like the City Museum, old military barracks, and the iconic Drunk Clock Tower – known for its upside-down hands.

Novi Sad

Immerse yourself in the cultural riches of Novi Sad, Serbia’s proud second-largest city and the European Capital of Culture 2021. With its elegant Central European charm and history as a cultural hub of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Novi Sad is often called the ‘Serbian Athens.’ Take a leisurely walk down the main street, where 18th and 19th-century architecture meets a vibrant café culture. Visit Liberty Square, the heart of the city, and marvel at landmarks like the town hall, Roman Catholic Cathedral, and the historical Vojvodina Hotel. Continue your exploration with a stop at the Serbian National Theater and the striking city synagogue, one of the largest and most beautiful synagogues in Europe, showcasing Hungarian Secession-style architecture. After a rich day of discovery, indulge in a traditional Serbian lunch or enjoy some shopping before returning to Belgrade. This is a journey that combines history, culture, and unforgettable experiences in one unforgettable tour.
