Serbia Bike Tours

Off the Beaten Track

Land-locked Serbia is far off the tourist trail. Here, intrepid travelers will find a mix of centuries-old traditions and cultures—including Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian—that persist strongly to this day.

One of the country’s highlights is Đerdap National Park with its massive cliffs—some topping 1,500 feet—undulating for more than 60 miles along the Danube through the Iron Gates Gorge. The EuroVelo 6 route—and the incredible scenery—make the area a popular draw for cyclists, whilst the city of Novi Sad draws history lovers to its abundant architectural wonders.

The Danube meets the Sava River in Belgrade, a capital city showing elements both of its proud past and often gritty present and making its way toward a more optimistic future.
