Former Yugoslavia Rail Adventure

Tour Map of Former Yugoslavia Rail Adventure

On this sixteen-day adventure we will discover Europe's newest countries and travel by rail through some of the Balkan's most inspiring scenery. Former Yugoslavia is still a path untrodden by many travellers after war and communism reigned strong for much of the 20th century. However, now there are thriving new capitals open for discovery and untouched countryside to be seen. This fast paced trip will get under the skin of Tito's Yugoslavia, as well as visiting Europe's oldest lake, Lake Ohrid, and Croatia's largest national park, Plitvice.

Tour Map of Into The Balkans: Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Emerging from the turbulent horrors of their recent past, the craggy and beautiful landscapes of Bosnia and Serbia provide a stunning backdrop to a journey rich in history and tradition. Lying at the crossroads of eastern and western cultures, they present a fascinating mix of Ottoman influences, Austro-Hungarian history and a warm hospitality that cannot fail to captivate.Beginning in Belgrade, we'll follow the course of the Danube and cross the beautiful heartlands of rural Serbia, as we journey through a landscape filled with ancient fortresses and medieval churches. There will be opportunities to visit Roman ruins and Ottoman citadels, take boat rides along the Danube and visit stunning World Heritage monasteries. After taking a train ride through the mountains we'll then cross into neighbouring Bosnia, where we will have the chance to visit the stunning old town of Sarajevo and explore the remarkable 'Tunnels of Life' that helped Sarajevo through one of the country's darkest periods. In Mostar we'll then discover the cultural centre of Herzegovina, before driving through the spectacular Vrbas Canyon towards Banja Luka and journey's end.

Get beyond the tourist façade of the countries you visit. Focus on the local culture, past and present, and discover the lifeblood of any country – its people. Discovery and culture tours uncover different ways of life, and offer the opportunity to meet and sometimes stay with local people or tribal groups. Our discovery tours explore cultural sites – both ancient and modern – and help you learn about the people and their culture. Visit the remote tribes of Ethiopia’s Rift Valley, live the nomad life in desert camps or meet the local people of the high Andean altiplano in Peru. There’s no better way to get to the true heart of a country than through its people.
