The 15 Best Golubac & Iron Gate Day Trips from Belgrade

15 reviewed

Two hours east of the capital the Danube narrows and the cliffs stand up on both banks. These are the best Iron Gate day trips from Belgrade: which ones include the speedboat run inside the gorge, which stop properly at Golubac Fortress rather than photographing it from the car park, what each seat costs and how long the day really is.

“Jelena was a fabulous guide and Ranko was an excellent driver. Glubac Fortress was windy but worth the visit. The Palace had wonderful exhibits, a movie, and some medieval weaponry. We went to a wonderful archeological site that was very informative. Jelena put us through our paces on a hike to a fantastic overlook. The statue of Decelabus was amazing. A highlight for me. After visiting several sights we went to a lovely restaurant with terrific food and service, Mirocka Dolina. Definitely try the stuffed mushrooms and fried cheese with honey. The end to a marvelous day.”
