Serbia · GOLUBAC FORTRESS AND THE IRON GATE

The 14 Best Iron Gates & Golubac Tours from Belgrade

14 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $78

Golubac stands nine towers deep in the water where the Danube enters its gorge, and the good tours put you on a boat under those cliffs rather than photographing them from the road. These 14 differ on boat time, on whether Lepenski Vir is included, and on how long you sit in the minibus: all three matter on a two-hour drive each way.

“Wow what an amazing tour! Our guide Nina is one of the best guides! She’s so knowledgeable and informative! We learned much about the history and traditions of Serbia. Our driver Milan is super helpful and a great photographer! We also tasted the local brandy rakija! The Golubac fortress has interesting history, the view of the Danube were picturesque, the boat ride got us a close look on the Romania side of the Danube. It was a very long day but well worth it! We highly recommend this tour as well as Nina and Milan!!”

“Jelena was a fabulous guide and Ranko was an excellent driver. Glubac Fortress was windy but worth the visit. The Palace had wonderful exhibits, a movie, and some medieval weaponry. We went to a wonderful archeological site that was very informative. Jelena put us through our paces on a hike to a fantastic overlook. The statue of Decelabus was amazing. A highlight for me. After visiting several sights we went to a lovely restaurant with terrific food and service, Mirocka Dolina. Definitely try the stuffed mushrooms and fried cheese with honey. The end to a marvelous day.”
