Best of Serbia for Families

Upon arrival in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, you will be welcomed by your driver and escorted to your hotel. During the short ride from the Nikola Tesla airport, sit back, relax and enjoy the sights of New Belgrade with its prominent ‘blocks’ – a classic example of Socialist architecture, built after World War II – and modern business centres, including the imposing Ušće Tower. Along the way, your driver will show you and tell some stories about the Western Gate of Belgrade, the famous Belgrade Arena and the monumental Palace of Serbia. Check-in at your hotel.

Use your free time to rest and prepare for the trip. At 7pm in the hotel reception, you will be greeted by your guide who will introduce himself and provide you with detailed information about the entire trip. For the rest of the evening, we recommend you take a short, leisurely walk through one of the oldest quarters towards the bohemian heart of Belgrade - Skadarlija. In a charming 19th century cobbled street you will find many numerous ‘kafanas’ where you can try delicious local specialties while listening to traditional music. Overnight in Belgrade.

After breakfast, your guide will take you on a
Belgrade Sightseeing Experience. It is a new,
interactive way of sightseeing where you have a
chance to explore the city while having fun. By
solving different tasks you will discover many
historical and fun facts about Belgrade and Serbia.

This adventure is quite similar to the famous treasure hunt game with its map and different tasks especially tailored for families and children of different ages and interests. Your guide will be there to provide all the information needed and might even give you some hints. The goal is to collect answers on various assignments which are scattered over a certain area. No special equipment is needed. Just bring your imagination and comfortable shoes. The creativity and comfort of
this tour is precisely why this is the favourite
sightseeing tour of our youngest travellers. In order to find answers, you should solve riddles, discover details on specific locations or creatively fulfil tasks – and we all know the children are the best at it. And of course, while the kids enjoy being adventurers, your guide will devote time to the adults and present all the relevant information to know about the Serbian capital as a part of a standard sightseeing
tour. Free time for lunch. Your guide will be happy to recommend some great places where you can enjoy
a meal with your family. Later on, you will visit Belgrade Zoo, also known as the Garden of Good Hope. It is the oldest and the biggest zoo in Serbia. As the most visited family attraction in Belgrade, it is a site that you must visit.
It is located in the very ’heart’ of the city, within the Belgrade Fortress, in Mali Kalemegdan (Little Kalemegdan). Among more than 150 different
species, the biggest attraction of the zoo are white and albino animals, especially white lions that have been the residents of the zoo for 15 years; also, rare white buffalo and its calf, Bornean orangutans, anaconda snake and many others. Join your children in discovering the animal kingdom. The youngest ones will have a special opportunity to play, interact and feed the domesticated animals at the Kids Zoo
Park. Overnight.

Drive towards Fruška Gora, the ‘Serbian Holy Land’, home to 17 functioning Serbian Orthodox monasteries. Right on the edge of the Fruška Gora National Park, you will visit ethno complex Vrdnička kula. This peaceful and relaxing place, throughout the
years has become a synonym for a family weekend
full of joy and pleasure in the serenity of the linden and pine forests. In just 20 minutes of light hiking, you will reach Vrdnička Tower, a historical site that the ethno complex is named after, built by the Romans in the 12th century. If you are into adventure, feel free to experience the Adrenalin Park for children and adults within the ethno complex or just enjoy the sweets at the restaurant. After a short drive through the magnificent nature of the Fruška Gora National Park, the excursion will take you to Sremski Karlovci, a real gem of Serbian culture and spirituality and a symbol of great wine production in Serbia. Sremski Karlovci acts as a ‘museum town’ with its baroque centre, the Patriarchal Court, the Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas and the first Serbian high school (gymnasium). Finish your tour of this charming town with wine and honey tasting at the region’s prominent winery Živanović and its Beekeping museum.

Further on, you will visit the 2021 European Capital of Culture, Novi Sad. Start the tour with
Petrovaradin, or the so-called ‘Danube’s Gibraltar’, where the fortress is located. On the place where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Danube and the entire city, take your chance and have a great family lunch in a lovely ambience before getting to know this amazing city. Located on the historical border of two former empires – the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman – the capital of Vojvodina is a multi-cultural city with an interesting mix of architectural influences. On a sightseeing tour around the city, you will walk around the city’s pedestrian zone, past the City Hall, a Catholic church, the old city centre, the former house of Albert Einstein’s wife Mileva, the cultural foundation Matica Srpska and a synagogue. Return to Belgrade.

Breakfast and check out.
On our way to Zlatibor, you will visit St. George's
Church also known as Oplenac, the mausoleum of
the Serbian and Yugoslav royal house of
Karađorđević. The church is situated on the very top of the hill. This monumental building with authentic beauty has a unique structure and extraordinary ornaments. You will be dazzled by the interior. The white marble floors and the lavish colourful glass mosaic on the walls will leave you amazed. In the museum you will be able to admire the art masterpieces and the personal belongings of the royal family. The Church and the Museum are
surrounded by a park, which is the favourite spot for the youngest visitors. Safe and with plenty of
greenery and outdoor space, it allows your children
to freely explore and discover the area on their own.
Later on it’s time to relax in the more than a century old winery Aleksandrović. In a beautiful ambiance combining an elegant mix of old and modern, and natural and urban, you will have the opportunity to taste several types of the premium and fine wines cultivated and made by the traditional royal recipe. While enjoying the best wines of this region and the view across the hills of the so-called Serbian Tuscany, your guide will do their best to animate your kids and let you fully enjoy the moment. On our way to Zlatibor, you will be able to stop by Međuvršje Lake, the prettiest part of the Western Morava River. Surrounded by the hills of the picturesque Ovčar-Kablar Gorge, it is a great place to relish the traditional food of the region. If you are
interested, your guide will recommend a perfect
restaurant on the water according to your
preferences, so you can enjoy your lunch on the lake admiring the beautiful scenery of the area.
Next destination for the day is Tara National Park.
The best way to admire the beauty of its nature is
from aboard the authentic, retro ‘Nostalgia’ train
which runs along the narrow-gauge heritage railway,
Šargan Eight. This exciting train ride is one of the favourite adventures of our youngest travellers. Travelling from the bottom of the Šargan mountain on a route shaped like the number eight (hence the name), you will be transported back in time while enjoying the stunning mountain scenery and numerous tunnels and viaducts. At the beginning of the 20th century, this railway used to be a part of the railway from Belgrade to Sarajevo.

After being immersed in breath-taking nature, you
will arrive at the enchanting ethno village Drvengrad (Wooden Town), built by world famous movie director Emir Kusturica. The village, which includes the Mećavnik Hotel, houses, galleries, shops, a cinema and a church, is made of natural materials (mostly wood), and resembles a fairy tale scenery. Since 2008, the Drvengrad village is a host to the annual Küstendorf Film and Music Festival and has been visited by the likes of Johnny Depp, Monica Belucci, Jim Jarmusch and many others.
