Belgrade, Serbia
Belgrade, Serbia    
Serbia's capital awaits you today as a guided tour takes you off the beaten track in one of Europe's oldest cities. Where the Sava and Danube Rivers meet, socialist blocks are squeezed between Art Nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics and socialist modernist monoliths. If you're feeling active, you can join a group for a forest hike to Avala Tower. This evening, relax in the Horizon Lounge and watch a traditional Serbian folklore show.
Day 3 - Sunday - Apr 9, 2023
Novi Sad, Serbia

Serbia's second city is renowned for being the liberal city of music, art, and culture. Set on an idyllic stretch of the Danube River, locals enjoy the reputation of living within Serbia's cultural heart. Cradled by a crook in the Danube and shielded by a 17th-century fortress, hints of old-world Habsburg charm can be found on the workbenches of Novi Sad's leather shops, carved into its historic facades, and worn on the faces of the dapper locals who frequent its suave cafes and bustling markets. The city's bubbling art and culture scene earned it the title of European Capital of Culture for 2022, and you'll have the opportunity to see it from a different perspective as part of a bike tour.
