★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 42 reviews · 12 hours · from $129

Review of a 12-hour Western Serbia tour from Belgrade, with the Šargan 8 train, Wooden Town, Drina River, and House on the Drina.

“Being a hard core Emir (now Nemanja) Kusturica fan, I truly enjoyed the visit of Drvengrad. The scenery is breathtaking, the train ride was interesting, with lots of photo shops, so was the 2 stops we made on our way back to Belgrade. It would have been better to give at least 2o more minutes for free time, to walk around and buy souvenirs. Definitely a worthwhile trip if you love Emir Kusturica films.”

Spend 12 hours from Belgrade visiting Žiča and UNESCO-listed Studenica, with royal history, Byzantine frescoes, mountain views, and a local guide.

“This is a very worthwhile day trip and Jovana and Milos made it exceptional with their knowledge and personal warmth. It is an investment in time since the monasteries can be close to 2.5 hours from Belgrade but the day went by very fast and you see the mountainous beauty of Serbia along with the monasteries so important to early Serbia and today. Highly recommend taking the time to go see and learn about Serbia beyond Belgrade.”
