Post-Congress Tours
Serbia
Serbia lies at the heart of all the important routes connecting the East and West, and the North and South of Europe. This geographical position has put Serbia in the midst of many events throughout history and has given the country a constant flux of cultures and civilizations, all of which have enormously enriched Serbia’s culture. Well known for its hospitality, Serbia and its people are waiting for you to discover many natural and cultural treasures it has to offer.
Vojvodina Patchwork - Hedonism and Serenity
From the window of an airplane, the Vojvodina region of Serbia looks like a beautiful patchwork quilt. An exciting mixture of wildlife refuge and classic vineyards.
This tour takes you to Old Vojvodina grange, a hedonistic and peaceful place with horses, carriages and tamburitza music. It takes you to Sremski Karlovci, a picturesque town that features the baroque ‘four lions’ fountain on the main square and the mid-18th century cathedral with its fine renaissance facade and two baroque belfries. Fruška gora monasteries with their refined architectural styles and beautifully painted frescoes are a testament to the spirituality of the Serbs in the late middle ages. The town of Novi Sad is a perfect combination of urban sophistication and bohemian relaxation, one of the most multi-ethnic cities in Serbia. Above the centre of the city perches the Petrovaradin Fortress – a labyrinth construction of alleys, bulwarks, trenches, gates, underground passages and tunnels to explore.
