Northern Serbia: Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad Full-Day Tour from Belgrade

1.Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad Full-Day Tour from Belgrade

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 425 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $78Our pick

Leave Belgrade for a full day in northern Serbia, with hotel pickup, a small group or private format, and an English-speaking guide. Visit Krušedol Monastery, stroll through baroque Sremski Karlovci, taste two glasses of Bermet wine, see Petrovaradin Fortress, and enjoy free time in Novi Sad.

“I only went on this trip because the one I was hoping to go on was booked. However it ended up being a great day. All the places we stopped at were really interesting and it was nice to see something other than Belgrade. I don’t drink so I was worried about the wine tasting part. However the town it was in was so cute that it was great to have extra time there to explore and take pictures. Menca was an amazing guide and shared lots of great stories and recommendations. Definitely recommend.”
