EXCURSIONS

We have prepared two excursions, provided with an English-speaking guide.

Monasteries and churches of Sumadija

One-day excursion by bus; lunch included; departure at 8.00 from Sava Centre.

Sumadija is the central region of Serbia, also known as the heart of Serbia. The history of this region is mostly connected to the first big uprising against the Ottoman Empire in 1804, when Djordje Petrovic- Karadjordje (Turkish for “Black Djordje”) was chosen as the leader of the uprising. He’s also the founder of the Karadjordjevic Dinasty that ruled Serbia up to the Second World War. Monasteries, churches and historical places included in this tour are mainly connected to this dynasty. 

Arrangement Price: €60
