If you want to get the essence of Serbia in one day, book this tour and visit one of the oldest fortresses on the Danube as well as the greatest Roman city from the ancient times.

We’ll start from Novi Sad at 7 AM and from Belgrade at 8.30 AM and after an hour’s drive, we’ll reach Smederevo whose huge fortress had been the last medieval capital of Serbia. Nowadays, the fortress is one of the largest on the Danube and among the most important in Serbia.

After the visit, we head for Kostolac where we will visit the archeological site of Viminacium, once an important Roman town, the capital of the province of Upper Moesia. Apart from the ruins and ancient tombs, we will also see the skeletons of many mammoths found during the excavation.

Our journey continues to Silver Lake where we will have free time that you can use for lunch in one of the local restaurants, a swim in the lake or both.

After the break, we’ll drive to the fortress of Ram. Following our visit we will cross the Danube by a ferryboat. On the other side, next to the tiny village of Stara Palanka we see the confluence of the Nera river into the Danube together with Labudovo Okno ornithological reserve.

Next, we’ll continue to the southern fringes of Deliblato Sands, once a real desert shaped by winds and today partially tamed by fortification, a habitat for many rare animal and plant species. Our last break will be with a family that left Belgrade to enjoy the peace and wilderness of the sands.

Return to Belgrade in the evening hours.
