Budapest to Bled Summary

Add to Shortlist

Days 1-2 Budapest

Budapest's grand architecture and boulevards evoke a time gone by, while glamorous stores and glitzy restaurants make this one of Europe's truly great cities.

Days 3-4 Osijek

Osijek, with its enchanting medieval citadel, is located along the banks of the Drava. The city's reputation as Croatia's gastronomic capital is well represented by its many riverside cafes.

Day 5 Novi Sad

Novi Sad is an interesting mixture of old Serbian cultural heritage, Austro-Hungarian architecture and scenic beauty. The city is surrounded by fertile farms and vineyards, framed by verdant hills.

Days 6-7 Belgrade

Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and while it has had a long and tumultuous history, its beauty and cultural nous will charm visitors on every level.

Days 8-10 Sarajevo/Mostar

Sarajevo has emerged from the rubble of war to become a cultural hotspot - and one of Europe's most popular travel destinations. Mostar's Old Bridge, beautifully restored after its sad destruction, is but one drawcard in this picturesque city that's brimming with culture and history.

Day 11 Ostrog Monastery

Built into the side of a rocky mountain in the 17th century, Ostrog Monastery is a stunning place of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians and travellers alike.

Days 12-13 Kotor

Nestled among rocky mountains on the shores of the Mediterranean, Kotor is a delightful city with a beautifully-preserved medieval town.

Days 14-16 Dubrovnik

The undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast, Dubrovnik is a beautiful white stone town that is picturesque, full of character and surrounded entirely by city walls.

Days 17-18 Korcula

Romantic and evocative, the island of Korcula boasts a stunning Old Town, which reflects the many diverse influences which have shaped its long history.

Days 19-20 Hvar

Known as the 'Queen of the Dalmatian Islands', Hvar has idyllic beaches, dramatic cliffs, ancient olive groves and relaxed towns with wonderfully preserved Renaissance facades.

Days 21-22 Split

A vibrant mixture of golden history and present-day delights, the city of Split grew out from the remains of Diocletian's Palace - some of the most impressive ruins on the Mediterranean.

Days 23-24 Plitvice Lakes/Pag Island

A wonderous interplay of water, rock and plant-life, Plitvice Lakes National Park is a misty Eden of endless waterfalls, enchanting forests and spectral blue lakes. The stark karst ridges of Pag Island are home to sheep, a distinctive local cheese and the wide, shallow coves that make it a popular destination for beachgoers.

Days 25-26 Pula

A wealth of architectural sights, including a beautifully preserved Roman amphitheatre, transport visitors back to Pula's heyday as a Roman citadel and administrative centre.

Days 27-29 Bled
