Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Kraljevo, Kraljevo, Central Serbia
Your guide will pick you up in the morning from your place of stay in Belgrade and you will head to central Serbia. On your way to Žiča, you'll pass through Kraljevo town (Kingstown). There is a reason why this town is named Kingstown, and you will learn it from your guide.
Stop At: Zica Monastery, Kraljevo 36221 Serbia
The first stop is Zica monastery which is recognizable with its beautiful red facade. This place used to be extremely important in medieval Serbia since the monastery became the center of autonomous Serbian Orthodox Church in the XIII century. From that time starts the tradition, that all Serbian kings have to be crowned in this glorious monastery.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Maglic Fortress, Kraljevo Serbia
Between two stops, you will enjoy a magnificent landscape during a ride through a Valley of the kings. If you pay close attention you can spot the remains of the marvelous Maglic fortress which is another attraction in this area. This medieval fortress overlooks this historic valley and still stands as a monument from ancient times.
Stop At: Studenica Monastery, Serbia
Following river Ibar, through beautiful landscapes, you will reach the UNESCO site- 800 years old Studenica monastery. This great and glorious place will certainly impress everyone, believer or atheist, Christian or not. Enjoying the calmness of Studenica you will admire the astonishing interior of the main church dedicated to the Holy Mother of God, which presents probably the nicest masterpiece of medieval fresco art from the XII and later centuries.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Restoran nacionalne kuhinje "Kafana Kod Mira" od 1826. godine., Bogutovac 22, Bogutovac 36341, Serbia
Having finished with the main part of our route you slowly start to return to Belgrade, during which you will stop by to a local village to have lunch in an authentic restaurant “Kod Mira”. This place exists for more than 200 years and overall that time is owned by the same family – that is the best verification of the quality of their food.

Please do your self a favour and make the booking to visit the amazing and spectacular Monasteries that is Zica and Studenica. I booked through Balkan Travel Centar and our personal tour guide Nemanja picked us up from our hotels ready for the 3 hour trip. It’s so worth the drive and day trip. Both Monasteries are stunning but for me Studenica was just magical and surreal. We then stopped off and had the most amazing home cooked local food with a variety of food to cater to all types. Truly blessed to have experienced this tour highly recommend for it to be on your list.

When we thought that we'd have to give up Monasteries Žiča and Studenica because of the complicated transportation we happened to see Serbian Private Tours and had a wonderful day trip from Belgrade to the monasteries. Besides the amazing culture and frescos it impressed me so much with our kind tour guide, his knowledge about whatever we wanted to know, the easy and comfortable trip, the fast online reply of the team and the cheap and nice restaurant (especially the dessert I loved it). The route was so well designed and the trip is definitely worth taking. Thank you so much for today and we'll come back to travel with you again!
