Kalocsa, Hungary

Welcome to Kalocsa! This historic Hungarian town is best known for its impressive Baroque cathedral and grand Archbishop’s Palace. Learn more about the town on a guided walking tour before paying a visit to the fascinating Paprika Museum.

 
Belgrade, Serbia

Welcome to Belgrade. The ‘White City’ is a reflection of Serbia’s storied past, blending Habsburg and Ottoman architectural relics with grids of socialist-era blocks. Take a stroll through Kalemegdan Park, explore the imposing Belgrade Fortress, admire the Orthodox architecture of Saint Sava and uncover the nation’s tumultuous history at the Museum of Yugoslavia.

 
Iron Gates Gorge, Romania

Welcome to the Iron Gates Gorge. This mighty gorge is where the Danube River cuts its path between the impressive Carpathian and Balkan mountain ranges, forming the boundary between Serbia and Romania. Snag a spot on the top deck to catch the best views of the valley’s towering limestone cliffs.

 
Pleven, Bulgaria

Welcome to Pleven! Surrounded by rich emerald forests, this town is best known as the scene of a major siege in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877. Learn more about this battle at the Pleven Panorama Museum, which tells the story through a series of moving photographs and canvasses.

 
Bucharest, Romania

Welcome to Bucharest, the ‘Paris of the East’. Romania’s hip capital is a city of contrasts, blending Belle Epoque architecture with utilitarian communist-era blocks. Learn more about Romania’s storied past at the Palace of Parliament, wander the cobbled alleyways of Lipscani and relax in the sun at one of Bucharest’s many parks

 
Danube Delta, Romania

Welcome to the Danube Delta! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the best-preserved river delta in Europe, consisting of over 4000 square kilometres of rivers, marshes, reed islands and tree-fringed lakes. Keep an eye out for the 3500 animal species and 1700 plant species that call the delta home.

 
Constanta, Romania

Welcome to Constanta! With a storied history of over 3000 years, Constanta is Romania’s largest and most important port city. Here, you can learn more about the early Romanian cultures at the Natural History and Archaeological Museum, admire the Art Nouveau architecture of Ovid Square and shop for Romanian handicrafts at the Folk Art Museum.

 
Veliko Tarnovo, Arbanassi & Ovanovo, Bulgaria

Crossing into Bulgaria, visit the beautiful city Veliko Tarnovo. Spend some time exploring the remains of Tsarevets Fortress before wandering the cobbled streets of Old Town. Later, head to the village of Arbanassi, where you can admire the intensely coloured frescoes of the Church of the Nativity. End the day at the UNESCO-listed Churches of Ivanovo, a fascinating complex of churches, chapels and monasteries hewn into solid rock during the 12th century.

 
Belogradchik, Bulgaria

Welcome to Belogradchik. This town is best known for the Belogradchik Fortress, a Roman stronghold constructed during the 3rd century AD. Surrounded by strangely shaped sandstone rock formations, the scenery here is simply striking.

 
Iron Gates & Lepenski Vir, Serbia

Cruise through the dramatic splendour of the Iron Gates Gorge, at the heart of Serbia’s Djerdap National Park, keeping an eye peeled for deer and wild boar. Later, head to Lepenski Vir, one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe. Dating back to 9,500 BC, Lepenski Vir consists of a series of Mesolithic villages located on a high terrace overlooking the Danube. 

 
Novi Sad, Serbia

Welcome to Novi Sad. This vibrant city is teeming with bustling pedestrian laneways, colourful buildings and café-lined squares. Novi Sad’s finest architecture can be found at Freedom Square, while Petrovaradin Fortress is one of Serbia’s most impressive monuments and a must-see during your visit.

 
Osijek & Vukovar, Croatia

Cross into Croatia and stop in Vukovar, the country’s largest river port. Once home to a prosperous manufacturing industry, Vukovar was almost completely destroyed during the Civil War, which you’ll learn all about during a guided tour. Later, head to Osijek to explore the pastel-coloured facades of Old Town and admire the neo-Gothic cathedral, whose red-brick spires soar above the rooftops.
