Itinerary

DAY 1 - ARRIVAL BELGRADE, SERBIA

Welcome to Serbia. Our guide will meet you in the arrivals hall and assist you with transfer and check-in at the hotel. You can take the rest of the day to get more familiar with Belgrade, walk around or follow your guide’s recommendation for dinner.


Overnight in Belgrade.

DAY 2 - EXPLORE BELGRADE (B)

After breakfast, we’ll start with our Belgrade sightseeing tour. Today we will show you almost all the most important sights in the city. We’ll start at the daunting Belgrade Fortress, dramatically perched above the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. We’ll check the Victor Monument, Monument of Gratitude to France, Zindan Gate, The Chapel of Saint Petka, Clock Gate, and The Clock Tower.


Once we finish with the fortress, we will start our panoramic ride through New Belgrade – Belgrade’s largest municipality, with impressive modern architecture. Here, we will see some remarkable buildings such as the Ex-Central Committee of the Communist Party, Federal Executive Council, also known as the Palace of Federation, Genex Tower or Western Gate of Belgrade, Sava Center, Belgrade Arena, and many more.


After New Belgrade, we’ll reach Zemun, the northern area of Belgrade, which is characteristic of its Central European appearance, charming quarters, cobblestone streets, and fish restaurants on the Danube River banks. Its curvy cobblestone streets and small houses will give you the impression that Zemun is a melting pot of Mediterranean and Middle European cultures. After Zemun, we’ll drive through Dedinje, Belgrade’s most luxurious residential area, before we reach the imposing Saint Sava Temple, one of the world’s largest Orthodox churches.


After the sightseeing tour, spend this afternoon on your own. Maybe check out Nikola Tesla’s Museum or the National Museum, or wander around the central streets. In the evening, visit the Old Bohemian Quarter of Skadarlija, frequently compared to Montmartre in Paris, both in appearance and artistic atmosphere. It’s a perfect opportunity to familiarize yourself with traditional Serbian cuisine and the famous Belgrade nightlife.


Overnight: Belgrade.

DAY 3 - TRANSFER TO ZAGREB, CROATIA (B)

After breakfast, it’s time to move to another beautiful Balkan country – Croatia. We’ll head for the Croatian capital, and after roughly around 4 hours (depending on the border crossing), we’ll reach Zagreb. Check-in at the hotel and take some time to refresh before we start with our Zagreb walking tour.


Begin the sightseeing tour in busy Kaptol Square in Upper Town, dominated by the monumental Zagreb Cathedral, with its soaring twin spires, cobblestone streets, and red tile-roofed buildings. Walk along Krvavi Most to St. Mark’s Church, with its brightly colored roof, and the 17th-century Jesuit Church of St. Catherine. After a stop at the Parliament building, free time to explore the winding streets of the Old Town and Ban Jelacic, the main square. Or perhaps take a stroll along Ilica Street, packed with restaurants, trendy cafes, and a vibrant shopping scene. Free time to explore on your own.


Overnight in Zagreb.

DAY 4 - FROM PLITVICE LAKES TO DALMATIAN COAST (B)

After breakfast, we’ll leave Zagreb behind us and drive towards Plitvice Lakes. After around two hours of driving, prepare your cameras since we will arrive at the breathtaking scenery of a natural wonder – Plitvice Lakes National Park, a natural wonder with breathtaking scenery. Enjoy a 3-hour guided tour through a wonderland of 16 interconnecting lakes flanked by thundering waterfalls and a vast primeval forest. This area, known as a geological and hydrological phenomenon, is celebrated as one of Europe’s most beautiful natural sights, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.


We’ll have a lunch break, and after approximately two hours of driving, we’ll arrive at the UNESCO-protected seaside town of Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. Check-in at the hotel. The rest of the day is yours. Perhaps enjoy a coffee or a dinner in one of the numerous restaurants by the sea.


Overnight in Split.

DAY 5 - SPLIT – DIOCLETIAN’S PALACE & GAME OF THRONES (B)

After breakfast, we’ll have a walking tour along the Old Town’s cobbled streets featuring the historic inner city with its dominating Roman influence, built around the 4th-century Palace of Diocletian. This spectacular palace, a precious example of Roman architecture, is one of the largest and best-preserved in the world. We’ll see the remains of the Cathedral of St. Domnius, built in the Middle Ages, and the Temple of Jupiter with its headless black sphinx guarding the entrance.


We’ll finish our walking tour around noon, so you’ll have plenty of time to design the afternoon. Maybe you can hop on a high-speed catamaran and check out the famous island of Hvar, book a private Game of Thrones tour, or walk around beautiful Marjan Hill and check out the museums of Split. Or finally, you can decide to chill on one of Split’s stunning beaches. Whatever you choose, we’re sure you’ll love this fantastic city.


Overnight in Split.

DAY 6 - THE PEARL OF THE ADRIATIC (B)

After breakfast, we will proceed to Dubrovnik. After roughly 3 hours of driving along the beautiful Croatian coast and admiring incredible views, we’ll arrive at the spectacular walled city of Dubrovnik, lovingly named the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Check-in, a short break, and the “Old Dubrovnik on foot” tour. The magnificent Old Town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a treasure of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque churches, monasteries, and palaces. The tour highlights sites like Rector’s Palace, an outstanding Gothic and Renaissance architecture blend. Also, the monumental Sponza Palace, one of the most beautiful palaces in the city, is preserved in its original form. Under the City Bell Tower on Luza Square, view Orlando’s Tower, dedicated to the legendary knight who saved the city in the 9th century.


After the tour, take some time for yourself. Consider strolling along the impressive ramparts overlooking the shimmering Adriatic Sea or visit the Maritime Museum in St. John’s Castle. Or maybe check the parts of Dubrovnik where the famous Game of Thrones was shot, visit Lokrum island and city walls, or ride a Dubrovnik cable car.
