Full description

Drive along the winding Danube river on this day trip from Belgrade. Explore the Golubac fortress and discover the oldest Mesolithic sculptures in all of Europe with a visit to the Lepenski Vir museum.

Start with pickup from your accommodation and a 2-hour drive toward Eastern Serbia. Take in beautiful landscapes and listen to interesting stories about this part of the country.

Stop at Golubac fortress, a defensive complex which used to defend many kingdoms through centuries. Golubac is the perfect fairy-tale castle, wonderfully set off by its location in the rugged landscape at the head of Đerdap Gorge.

Admire its nine towers which are 20-25 meters high. Gaze out at views of the Danube from the fortress. Proceed towards the widest part of the Danube at the Iron Gate. Watch at the Danube suddenly gives the impression of the sea.

After around 30 minutes of driving, reach the next stop, Lepenski Vir. The early settlement dates back to 7,000-6,000 BC. It marks the beginning of civilization in Europe. View a holographic reconstruction of houses in Lepenski Vir.

See more than 100 items (utensils, tools, and instruments, jewelry, altars, sculptures, Neolithic ceramics) illustrating the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods in Lepenski Vir. The setting also involves the reconstruction of burial methods in Lepenski Vir.

After the museum, stop in a unique, authentic restaurant with a fantastic view overlooking the Danube to enjoy a traditional lunch made of specialties of the cuisine of Eastern Serbia. Return to Belgrade in the evening hours.

Great tour. Nevena was a fantastic host and talked us all through the history of Serbia, answering any questions we had along the way. Transport was arranged from near accommodation and pickup time was given in advance. The fortress itself was beautiful and was worth the entrance fee, and Nevena explained the historical significance of the site. Lepensky Vyr was also interesting. Lunch was a homely Serbian buffet with a gorgeous view of the Danube, and included homemade rakija and all sorts of meats and sides. Great day overall

We had Uros as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable in the history of Serbai/Yugoslavia. He wad very clearly spoken and his English was phenomenal. The pace of the tour was well done and planned out. The only suggestion is if you could install microphones in the van because the high way noise and being in the back row of seats, we cannot hear anything and miss out on some information about the history. I would also like to suggest that once we reach our destination, to allow time for 5-10 mins of photo opportunities before more guided information is spoken as we are all excited at first glance at the destination. Especially it being such a long journey to the destination.
