2 Train Rides in Serbia to Build a Day Around

1.Šargan Eight Railway, Wooden Town & House on Drina river day trip from Belgrade

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 107 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $133Our pick

Leave Belgrade for a full day in Western Serbia with an English-speaking guide, often including Jovan, Uros, Marko, or Nevena. Ride the historic Šargan Eight train, walk through Emir Kusturica’s Drvengrad, stop at the Drina River House, and enjoy mountain views. Transport, train admission, and Wooden Town entry are included. Lunch costs extra.

“Our guide Nevena is very knowledgeable, she shared with us all the histories and recents events happening in Serbia. The trip to the rail way is 3+ hours long, but we enjoyed talking to her very much. The railway was fun, kids loved it! The mountains and natures were beautiful, it is totally different from what you see in Belgrade or to north part of Serbia. If anyone has extra day in Serbia, I’d recommend this trip very much.”
