Castle Views and a Lovely Dinner

Start your stay in Ljubljana by taking a funicular or a short walk to reach Ljubljana Castle, offering stunning views of the city below and the mountains beyond. Don't miss the museum, and if possible, catch a sunset from the castle grounds, especially the tower. End your day on a high note with dinner in one of the charming restaurants within the castle walls. We are confident that you'll go to bed feeling happy and in love with "the loved one," the literal translation of "Ljubljana." On the other hand, if you're still experiencing jet lag and seeking complete relaxation before your upcoming adventures, we recommend taking a short walk by the Ljubljanica River and having dinner at Julija Restaurant. Remember to make a reservation or let your local destination expert handle it for you; they will be delighted to assist!

Tito's Birthplace Private Half-Day Trip

Unique Museums

Bascarsija, the City's Heart

Bascarsija is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the city's historical and cultural center. This historic district, dating back to the 15th century, exudes a captivating blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Slavic influences. If you want to experience the bazaar at its best, we suggest taking a stroll through the bazaar to Bravadžiluk Street. Once home to the city's locksmiths, this street is now Bascarsija's gastronomic paradise, home to many of Sarajevo's most famous eateries.

Sarajevo's Best Museums

Each museum in Sarajevo reflects the history and lives of locals in very different circumstances, and each one will significantly help you understand this unique city and its determined citizens. Museums centered around the fighting in the 90s are exceptionally emotional and include the War Tunnel (the sole source of aid and weapons during the Siege of Sarajevo), Gallery 11/07/95 (named for the date of the Srebrenica Massacre), and especially the War Childhood Museum. If you're interested in more distant history, seek out Svrzo's House (a traditional Bosnian house) and the National Museum. We also recommend visiting the Jewish Museum to learn about the very complicated and interesting history of Bosnia's long-lived Jewish community.

Tito's Bunker and Konjic Private Day Trip

Day tour to visit Konjic and Tito's bunker is filled with diversity and you will be surprised to learn so many interesting facts about the Yugoslavian period and the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time.  Tito’s Bunker is one of the largest and best-kept secrets of the former Yugoslavia. The Bunker is a real miracle of construction, complex for a special purpose - in case a catastrophe happened, Tito and his closest associates would be sheltered here. The 6.500 square meters long bunker was one of the most expensive structures in the former Yugoslavia, there was an incredible $4.6 billion spent on this project. With your local guide, you will discover how it took 26 years to build, and how it was designed to withstand nuclear war and shelter communist leaders and army generals. Its air conditioning system, power generator, toilets are still working and the water container is filled with fresh water, just in case.

Traipse the Bohemian Quarter

Belgrade's Yugoslavian Heritage Private Tour

Visit Belgrade's Museums

As the capital of Serbia, Belgrade has more than a few museums, but three stand out and are especially worth seeing. The National Museum of Belgrade has opened all of its doors to visitors. Guests can explore a massive collection encompassing everything from the Paleolithic period to 20th-century art. Our second recommendation is the Nikola Tesla Museum. You'll explore his often fantastical inventions and unusual approach to life. Finally, be sure to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art. Its "permanent" exhibition actually changes every three to five years. As a rule, though, it's based on reconstructions of historical periods, movements, tendencies, and individual phenomena in the Yugoslav art space.

Serbia on Your Plate Small Group Tour

This tour is best described as "Serbia on your plate." You'll learn all about Serbian culture while tasting many of the country's traditional dishes. We suggest having light breakfast or even skipping it because this is one filling food tour, the equivalent of breakfast and lunch! Your enthusiastic young local guide will take you around central Belgrade, to visit 6 authentic venues and a green market, tasting 14 local specialties and 3 drinks along the way. During the tour you will be presented with two souvenirs and a special memory book. It's a tasty day, to say the least!

Art, Inside and Out

Bizzare, Bazaar, Skopje

For a capital city, Skopje is fairly small and walkable. For your first evening, we suggest walking along the Vardar River, passing the charming bridges and impressive buildings lining both banks. The many monuments in the city center may create a bizarre atmosphere, but they're undeniably interesting. Enjoy evening drinks on one of the fake ships built atop the shallow river. The boat offers a charming atmosphere, and the river's fresh breezes are helpful if you're visiting in summer. Finish your day with a dinner in one of the many restaurants offering live music.

Yugoslavian Skopje Private Tour

Get your bearings from the get-go, with a drive to Skopje's best panoramic point. You'll see, first from a distance, then close up, prominent places reflecting the distinctive architecture of the Yugoslavian period.

You'll continue to the Kale Fortress in the city center, which offers views of many other attractions, including Mother Teresa's birthplace. You'll end the tour with a visit to the Old Rail Station.
