How to Visit Golubac Fortress Serbia Iron Gates

Serbia

Serbia was the first country I landed in the Balkans and it’s highly underrated. I loved exploring the city of Belgrade. The fortress, St Sava Church and Data Status Bookshop were highlights. But, I also loved my day trip to Novi Sad with Petrovaradin Fortress. Don’t miss the fairytale Golubac Fortress & Iron Gates Gorge. It’s a magical place that leaves a lasting impression. Let’s start planning your whimsical Serbian adventures!

Things to know before visiting Serbia

  1. UK residents can travel for up to 90 days in Serbia for free.
  2. Serbia is a homogeneous Christian country and 80% of the population identify as Serbian Orthodox.
  3. Serbia does not recognise Kosovo as a country, so be careful when planning to cross over their shared borders.
  4. Serbia uses the Dinar (RSD), but the Euro is accepted. Cash is still very much king!
  5. There is free bus travel in the city centre of Belgrade. They are a lifesaver to get around the city.
