Highlights
  • Fruska Gora Monasteries - When you already feel like a local in Belgrade, it is time to spread your knowledge about Serbia! Come with us and explore the northern region, a wonderful piece of land showing the diversity of our country.

Heading to the North, you’ll enjoy the wide, colorful plain of the Vojvodina region. You will notice an isle which “spoils” the simple skyline and the flat morphology of the terrain.
This is Fruska Gora mountain where 17 religious gems of the Serbian Orthodox Church are hidden. We will reveal you one of them which will seduce you with its peace and legacy of the Branković family as the most important benefactor during Serbia’s challenging times, the Turkish siege.

  • Sremski Karlovci - After the calm beginning, you will be ready for the more dynamic part of the tour. You will be welcomed by the little, charming town of Sremski Karlovci, its atmosphere reflecting times in history, its polite citizens, and its unofficial mascot Raša.

The Patriarchy Palace, Saint Nikola’s church, and the first Serbian gymnasium established in 1791 are justifying Sremski Karlovci’s title “museum town”.

One of the best sides of Karlovci would probably be wine production, and therefore you will have the opportunity to visit a traditional winery and try a local sort of wine!

  • Petrovaradin Fortress - Driving along the right bank of Danube, you will pass a church whose details point to two religions interweaving.

Shortly after, walls of the mighty Petrovaradin fortress will meet you. This gorgeous beauty has an impressive underground labyrinth that is still not fully researched. Beside of subterrane organized in four levels, there are also seven of them on a surface.

Built as a pillar of Austrian defense from Turkish invasion, Petrovaradin fortress was never conquered, nowadays giving us a chance to enjoy the most amazing view over Novi Sad, to feel the energy of the most prestigious European music festival “Exit”, and to take a photo with the „drunk clock”.

  • Novi Sad - As a cherry on top of the cake, walk through the picturesque downtown of Novi Sad, and you will see in the few first steps that this city is a melting point of different nations and ethnic groups, a city with true multicultural ambiance. Vivid facades with a specific type of windows, one cannonball in a wall as a remainder, street musicians on each corner, charming passages and a long list of important sights worthy of attention will make you fall in love with this European capital of culture for 2021.

As a treat at the end of the tour, you will have some free time to explore this city with a slow tempo by yourself, to buy some souvenirs or to taste flavors of the local cuisine enriched with the influence of Austria and Hungary.

Afterwards, you will be driven back to your accommodation in Belgrade, hopefully fully satisfied with this new experience!

Additional Information

Embark on a journey and spend an entire day getting familiar with Vojvodina, the Northern Province of Serbia. Standing at the crossroads between the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, Vojvodina has managed to harmonize various styles and influences, ethnic groups and customs, culminating in a unique melange worth experiencing!

Discover the Serbian religious heritage by paying a visit to a monastery within the Fruška Gora National Park. Afterward, immerse yourself in the tranquil lifestyle of Sremski Karlovci, a petite town renowned for its exceptional ambiance and architecture, celebrated wine manufacture, and profound impact on Serbian culture. A tasting session at a local winery will prepare you for the imminent exploration of Petrovaradin, a 17th-century fortress and a renowned stage of the EXIT Music Festival.

Wander around Novi Sad, a city brimming with a strong sense of self-identity that will captivate you with its irresistible walkways, stylish city center, and accepting inhabitants. It is rightly named the European Capital of Culture for 2021.

Fantastic trip to the north of Belgrade - I had a wonderful day getting to see the beautiful area north of Belgrade. Milica, our guide, was fantastic. She knew so much about the area and its history and presented the information in a very interesting and entertaining way. We managed to get to the monastery before all the big busses came, had a very enjoyable time exploring the little town of Sremski Karlovci, learned a lot about Novi Sads history while overlooking the town from the fortress and had plenty of time to wander the stunning streets of Novi Sad. I can highly recommend this tour and hope you get Milica as your guide as well!

Wine tasting - The tour was super well organized and the tour leader, Snežana, was excellent. We were picked up in Belgrade by a van and made a stop at a monastery once we were near the winery. Our next stop was Vinum Winery in Karlocvi. The wine we tasted was exceptional. Definitely a worthwhile excursion!

The guide is great and... - The guide is great and knowedgable, told us a lot about the history. It was great. The driver and the minibus was good and with good heating. The tour included a monastery and two towns with nothing special to see. If you've been to any Former Soviet Union town, you've seen most of the tour locations. It's a couple of nice buildings in the centre and the rest is not worth seeing. The wine tasting is one glass + a demonstration and a lecture about the other bottles. It was in a room with no heating which was very cold in November. If you travel in November, or later, you should have warm clothes and be ready to a rain. There are no umbrellas/ plastic raincoats provided, also no opportunity to buy them. It was very cold.
