DESTINATIONS ON THE ROUTE

Day 1 - Budapest

												

Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.

Day 2 - Mohacs

												

The port of Mohács, in Hungary, serves as a vital transportation hub connecting the region to other parts of Europe. This bustling port facilitates both commercial and leisure ships. The port holds historical significance tied to the Battle of Mohács, which led to this part of Hungary being under Ottoman control for many years. This port serves as a reminder of Hungary's complex and rich history.

Day 3 - Novi Sad

												

Novi Sad is a university town and the local says that there is always a festival or concert going on. That may be the reason why Novi said received the titles Youth Capital of Europe 2019 und European Capital of Culture 2022.

Day 4 - Belgrade

												

The Serbian capital city has much to offer; the fortress is a testament of Belgrade’s importance through history. Visit the Nikola Tesla Museum or learn more about former Yugoslavia via the museum of the same name. Explore on foot or by bike.

Day 5 - Donji Milanovac

												

The Danube has often forced the small town on the Serbian bank to relocate - in the past because of flooding, and more recently because the Iron Gate power station has changed the river landscape. The magnificent natural setting of the Derdap National Park, which surrounds the town, remains unimpressed. Nearby, archaeologists have unearthed a sensation: Sculptures, weapons and tools up to 9,000 years old bear witness to an advanced Stone Age civilisation - Lepenski Vir, one of the oldest settlements in Europe.

Day 5 - Turnu Severin

												

Well-fortified: The 13th-century Severin Castle was not the first fortress here; the Romans secured this area 2,000 years ago: the remains of ancient Drobeta are now an open-air museum. The Wallachian town preserves the traces of its history and has been called Drobeta-Turnu Severin since 1972. An ancient landmark, Trajan's Bridge, once spanned the Danube for more than 1000 metres. Some of its mighty pillars still stand.
