10 Days in the Balkans, incl. Belgrade and Dubrovnik
From Dubrovnik's walls to Split's Diocletian Palace and Kotor's medieval town, history comes alive. Boat rides to Our Lady of the Rocks complement visits to coastal gems like Perast. Upscale hotels including Cornaro Split and Royal Neptun Dubrovnik provide comfort.
- Days 1-2
Belgrade, Serbia
Land in Serbia's capital and spend your first evening getting familiar with the city center. On day two head to Belgrade Fortress where the Sava and Danube rivers meet. Going early helps you avoid the crowds. "The tour was absolutely amazing! I loved exploring Serbia...our guide was incredibly knowledgeable." End your day in the bohemian Skadarlija quarter where you can try authentic Serbian food at local restaurants.
- Day 3
Zagreb, Croatia
The drive to Croatia's capital takes about 4 hours. Spend at least half a day in the historic Upper Town. Visit the Gothic Zagreb Cathedral and make your way to St. Mark's Church with its colorful tiled roof. A practical note: Pack shoes with good grip since the cobblestone streets can be slippery in wet weather.
- Day 4
Plitvice Lakes to Split
Get an early start to avoid crowds at Plitvice Lakes National Park. You'll need about 3 hours to see the connected lakes and waterfalls. "The Plitvice Lakes were absolutely stunning, with waterfalls cascading into crystal-clear pools." The drive to Split takes about 2 hours.
- Day 5
Split
Visit Diocletian's Palace in the morning before it gets too hot and crowded. You can take an afternoon high-speed boat to Hvar Island or climb Marjan Hill for great views of the area. Remember to bring water and sunscreen since the limestone streets reflect a lot of heat.
- Day 6
Split to Dubrovnik
The coastal drive to Dubrovnik takes 3 hours. Walk the city walls first thing in the morning to avoid heat and crowds. Set aside 2 hours for the complete walk. Take the cable car up Mount Srđ before sunset to get the best photos of the "Pearl of the Adriatic."
- Day 7
Montenegro Day Trip
Plan for a full but rewarding day around the Bay of Kotor. Start your morning in Perast. If you get carsick bring medication for the winding roads. Take a boat to Our Lady of the Rocks before tour groups arrive. Spend your afternoon exploring medieval Kotor then head to Trebinje for the night.
- Day 8
Bosnia & Herzegovina
Start at the 16th-century Blagaj Tekke monastery then continue to Mostar. Visit the Old Bridge area before 11am or after 4pm to avoid peak crowds. "From the Old Bridge in Mostar to the stunning Bay of Kotor, it was a trip I'll never forget!"
- Days 9-10
Sarajevo to Belgrade
Visit Sarajevo's Turkish Quarter before shops open and try traditional Bosnian coffee. The 5-hour drive back to Belgrade can be long so consider stopping in Zvornik. Use your last morning for shopping before heading to the airport.

- The Balkans Revealed: Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro & Bosnia and Herzegovina – 10 Days
This 10-day whirlwind was an absolute dream, packing in a flawless mix of jaw-dropping nature, coastal paradise, and deep cultural history. Absolutely loved every single destination we visited. From the stunning waterfalls in Plitvice Lakes to the beautiful scenery, and sun-soaked atmosphere in Split/Hvar to the the massive stone city walls offering breathtaking, postcard-perfect views in Dubrovnik. The drive along the Bay of Kotor, where massive, dramatic mountains plunge straight down into fjord-like waters, was easily some of the most stunning scenery of the entire trip. Crossing the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina to visit Mostar was a profound and unforgettable highlight of the tour. A massive shoutout to our tour guide, Uros, who truly made this trip unforgettable. His deep knowledge of local history, endless patience at complex border checkpoints kept the group energized and organized every single day. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an incredible experience. If you want to see the absolute best of the Balkans without any of the planning stress, you can't go wrong with this tour.
- From Lisbon 10-Day Andalucia & Morocco
Great tour to get around and see everything quickly, but no free time to explore any of the areas we were in and the luxurious hotels we were staying in, we arrived late and checked out early without getting to use any facilities. Motels and hostels would have been more appropriate.
