What to expect
Danube River
Let us introduce you to the majestic Danube River, a true natural monument. Flowing through ten countries, including ours, this second-longest river in Europe has long been a vital link between nations. Once the dividing line of the mighty Roman Empire, the Danube remains a significant route connecting the edges of the Old Continent. Known as the "old giant," this river has been the birthplace of countless civilizations and cultures, with historical sites along Serbia’s banks serving as a testament to its enduring legacy.
Follow the path of the mighty Danube to your first stop, the Golubac Fortress. Perched on towering cliffs at the river’s widest point, this medieval stronghold enchants visitors with its mystical towers and fairytale-like atmosphere. Climb to one of the fortress’s viewpoints, and you’ll understand why locals claim the Danube resembles the sea from this vantage point. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from one of Serbia’s best-preserved fortifications.
