Whether you’re in the mood for a new travel experience or simply want a short and sweet escape, this introduction to the Balkans along the Lower Danube is just the ticket! Embark in Belgrade, Serbia’s mesmerizing capital city, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. There, you’ll have the chance to explore the “White Fortress” and learn about its turbulent past as part of the former Yugoslavia. In Vukovar, learn about the devastation that occurred during the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s—and how a simple water tower became a symbol of the people’s strength and spirit. Finally, enter Hungary, with stops in ancient Kalocsa, the “Paprika Capital of the World”, and the capital of Budapest, whose breathtaking Parliament Building, Castle District, Heroes’ Square, and other highlights will positively enchant you.
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.
The city is located close to the Serbien border and was the scene of much armed conflict during the war from 1991 to 1995. Signs can still be seen today. The port is surrounded by wineries and close by are interesting archeological sites.
Kalosca is one of Hungary’s oldest cities and the perfect blend of traditional and modern. Lovely old buildings, quaint shops selling paprika and embroidery sit side by side with modern apartment blocks and offices.
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.
