What to do and see in Belgrade, Serbia: The Best Archaeology Tours

November 9, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Belgrade's long and storied history is suggested by its architecture, which varies from Byzantine and Ottoman to neoclassic and romantic buildings in the older neighborhoods, and from Art Nouveau to brutalism and neo-Byzantine design in New Belgrade. The city's many theaters, museums, monuments and opera houses boast a deep and fissured cultural life while the beaches and rivers attract sunbathers, sports enthusiasts and partygoers on the popular floating river barges that serve as nightclubs.

We had a great time on our wine tour with beautiful wineries and beautiful wine. The tour is exactly as described and because we were traveling during this pandemic, we pretty much had most of these wineries to ourselves. The first stop was Despotika and a perfect start our day. The winery overlooks beautiful vineyards and scenery and we got 4 different types of wines. From here we went to a family house and had a wonderful lunch and also 4 glasses of wine to go with our meal. This is a true Serbian experience as you are in someone's actual house. From there we then went to a museum-like winery that gave us a sampling of wine. This use to be the King's old cellar and still has archives of old wine. A good stop and interesting to learn about. Our last stop was Aleksandrovic Winery which feels like a high-end winery that also overlooks beautiful vineyards. Here we sat until about sunset with delicious wine! We had a great time, and our guide Andrija was great. Also got some photos of our trip which was a nice surprise!! Overall highly recommend.

We booked a private tour on a very short notice, but the operator obliged. We've had an amazing overview of Belgrade and Serbian history during the tour of Belgrade fortress (my favorite part was Rujica church). The guide - Mihajlo - was very jovial, knowledgeable and had an answer to every question we had, even the more obscure ones. As we were driving around the city, he was pointing out local landmarks and told us interesting tidbits of history around them. All in all, the tour was great, I've ordered another one a couple days later.

I booked this company for a long tour, 10 days in total, and I was really impressed with the service I received. They provided two friendly, English-speaking drivers, who were incredibly professional throughout. The bus was always on time, and always very safely driven.

We had a wonderful day out of Belgrade with Mr. Veljko Antonijevic, who turned out to be an amazing guide with perfect English and a great amount of knowledge about Serbia. We visited Sirmium, the famous monastery road, Sremski Karlovci and - of course - the beautiful Novi Sad. It was a long day, but thanks to Veljko we enjoyed it very much.
