Places to visit near Belgrade in a day trip excursion?
Belgrade is an exciting city where you’ll have what to do and see for a few days. But I recommend you take at least one day to visit some places of interest near Belgrade. You can go on a day trip near Belgrade by using public transportation, renting a car, or hiring a driver.
You have probably already heard about the main attractions in Serbia. Kopaonik, Zlatibor, Tara National Park, Golubac Fortress, .etc are some of the most beautiful places in Serbia. But the thing is, all these points of interest are far away from Belgrade.
If you are not willing to have a long ride to visit them, this post is the right place for you. Discover the best day trips around Belgrade.
I’ll introduce you to places of interest less than 100 kilometers away from the Serbian capital.
As a private driver from Belgrade, I have driven my clients to all the beautiful places in Serbia. Therefore, this list of the best places to visit near Belgrade is based on my personal experience.
Quick jump to:
- 1. Novi Sad, Petrovaradin, and Sremski Karlovci (the most popular day trip near Belgrade)
- 2. Fruska Gora National Park (the most popular wine tour near Belgrade)
- 3. Avala Mountain (the nearest to Belgrade)
- 4. Kosmaj
- 5. Smederevo Fortress
- 6. Valjevo (the most underrated tour near Belgrade) – my recommendation
Novi Sad, Petrovaradin Fortress, and Sremski Karlovci
Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia. It’s very popular because of its well-preserved 18th-century European architecture and unique charm. You can reach there by fast train and bus, although many tour agencies offer tours to Novi Sad. Of course, a private round-trip to Novi Sad from Belgrade is the best option for this day trip.
Sremski Karlovci is a charming historical town on the way to Novi Sad you also should visit. And a famous Petrovaradin Fortress is next to Novi Sad. You can read more about the day trip to Novi Sad on this page. And, have in mind that a trip to Novi Sad is possible to connect with your trip to Fruska Gora, which is next on my list.
