the capital of Hungary, in the northern central part of the country; population 1,712,210 (2009). It was formed in 1873 by the union of the city of Buda on the right bank of the Danube River with the city of Pest on the left.

Cozy and nestled on the banks of the Danube, Mohacs / Mohach invites travelers to discover a lesser-known yet remarkable chapter of Hungarian history. The city is a symbol of pivotal events, including the famous Battle of 1526, which deeply influenced all of Central Europe. Beyond its historical significance, Mohacs / Mohach enchants with narrow streets, old buildings, and a warm, almost rural atmosphere.

The city truly comes alive during the traditional Busójárás festival, which is listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. During this time, the streets fill with masks, dances, and ancient rituals rooted in Slavic and Hungarian myths. Add to that cozy cafes, riverside walks, and local wineries — and Mohacs / Mohach becomes a perfect stop for those seeking authentic experiences off the beaten path.

Where the Danube meets the mighty rocks of the Iron Gates, a journey through time begins among medieval fortress walls. The impressive Golubac Fortress — one of the most picturesque in Serbia — stands proudly, carefully restored and open to visitors. This majestic citadel, built in the 14th century, once guarded a key strategic passage and now offers panoramic views of the river and the Romanian mountains across the bank.

Golubac is not only about history, but also nature: it lies within the Đerdap National Park, ideal for walking, birdwatching, or cycling along the river. Cozy cafés, local cuisine, and the warm hospitality of the locals make this spot perfect for a short break or a slow, relaxed stay in the spirit of old Serbia.

Where the Danube gently curves around ancient fortifications, Novi Sad greets travelers with its charming old streets and a relaxed bohemian atmosphere. This Serbian city, nestled at the foot of Mount Fruška Gora, is renowned for its perfect blend of history, culture, and nature. Novi Sad is not only the cultural capital of the country but also one of Serbia’s greenest cities, featuring cozy parks and panoramic river views.

Particular attention should be paid to the Petrovaradin Fortress—an imposing 18th-century structure often referred to as the "Gibraltar on the Danube." Every year, this fortress hosts the famous EXIT music festival, attracting modern music lovers from all over the world. Strolling through the center of Novi Sad, tourists discover Hungarian, Austrian, and Balkan heritage reflected in the architecture, gastronomy, and the warm hospitality of the locals.
