Subotica sits in the very north of Serbia and is a gorgeous city with loads of art nouveau architecture. Strolling the streets of the center of the city is a delight because it feels like no matter where you look, you have a good view and some interesting architecture. This helped to make it my …
Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia, but it’s one that I enjoyed more than Belgrade. Its pedestrian only area was a delight to explore, the fortress offered great views of the city and Danube River, and it was just a beautiful city. While you could take a day trip to Novi Sad, …
I took two day trips from Belgrade. The first was to eastern Serbia and the second to western Serbia, which in my opinion, featured better mountain views and scenery. On this day trip, you can ride the historic Sargan Eight Train, explore Drvengrad (a wooden village that was originally constructed as a film set), and …
While most tourists to Serbia will inevitably spend time in the capital city of Belgrade, I think it’s worth escaping the city on a day trip. While there are several Belgrade day trips to choose from, I chose a guided tour that would take us to the highlights of Eastern Serbia. Specifically, we’d be stopping …

Durmitor National Park is located in northern Montenegro and is a hiker’s paradise with dozens of trails interweaving through the park. These trails range from paths through forests to rocky, mountain views to lakes with plenty more in between. Honestly, one of the hardest things about visiting this region is trying to decide where to …
The hike from Valbona to Theth is part of the Peaks of the Balkans Trail and is the most popular sections of the trail. Instead of hiking for multiple days, many hikers, including myself, choose to just do this section as a day hike. It’s a beautiful hike that takes you up through the mountains …
Berat, Albania is a lovely, compact city to visit that’s home to a castle and plenty of wandering lanes. It’s a picturesque city and some of the charm just comes from walking the streets of the historic city center. It doesn’t take a lot of time to see the highlights of Berat, so it deserves …
Bled, Slovenia is one of the best and easiest day trips to take from the capital city of Ljubljana. Once in town, you can walk around the gorgeous lake, take a boat to Slovenia’s only island, eat delicious cake, and enjoy the views of the surrounding area. In my opinion, a visit to Ljubljana wouldn’t …
