Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Built in 1577, this arch stone bridge was designed by famed Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan.
What an amazing bridge!!! So cool to see such a beautiful creation in person. It’s a lovely town & there’s a great lookout at the top of a nearby hill. Highly recommend topping to admire this piece of architecture!! Cool chair at the top of the hill as well. Worth the 3 min walk.
David P — Google review
I advise you to hire a local guide to tell you the story of the bridge and this town. There is so much to hear and learn about this town and its historical facts. You have a zip line near the bridge that goes over the Drina river, there are small boats for 30min up to 2h+ tours with local guides. As expected in this country you will enjoy food and coffee ☕
Dusan T — Google review
If you're traveling toward Adriatic coast or on the way back, this is great place to stop, to enjoy unique scenary of Drina river and Visegrad with its famous bridge, which is of so much historical importance. To take a break in restaurants nearby the bridge is a real pleasure.
Maja S — Google review
It's a nice bridge but you probably need to read Ivo Andrič's Nobel prize winning novel to be able to completely enjoy and understand its role throughout history. (I didn't.)
Vera T — Google review
Really monumental! Beautiful and firm even after 400 years. Must see if in Visegrad or vicinity.

Situated at the northern edge of the national park, it provides easy access to the breathtaking Tara River canyon, which is even deeper than the Grand Canyon in some parts. The guesthouse also offers proximity to popular tourist activities such as rafting along the river and ziplining.
I stayed there with my brothers. We had the loft to ourselves. The oner is very nice, the place is set in a beautiful location and the zipline starts from this place, we had a discount as we stayed here. It is only 5 minutes ride to the restaurants in Tara bridge.

Nestled in the heart of Montenegro, Biogradska Gora National Park is a true gem for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. This enchanting park boasts pristine virgin forests and breathtaking glacial lakes, making it one of the most stunning natural landscapes in Europe. As you wander through its diverse trails, you'll encounter an impressive array of flora and fauna that thrives in this protected environment.

Amazing nature, beautiful lake, where you can also swim, although the water is cold....
Sale H — Google review
Amazing national park- a must visit if you’re in the area. Entrance fee 4 euro per person. Some of the lake was dried up but it was still beautiful. When we were here (August 14th, with sunny weather and about 35 degrees) the water was very warm, maybe 25 degrees and you could comfortably sit in the water without being cold. However!!!! Do not swim in the lake if you are afraid of snakes. They were swimming everywhere, both big and small ones. I don’t think they were dangerous though and mostly kept their distance. But watch where you put your feet when walking into the water.
Emma E — Google review
Great national with a beautiful lake. The ticket prices to enter the national park are low. We spent some time on the lake, which was beautiful. If you love hiking they have several trails here.
Kevin S — Google review
For € 3,- per person you can drive up to the lake. It’s possible to walk around it, rent bikes, a boat or kayaks. We rented a 2 person Kayak for €5,- /hr which was enough to paddle around the full lake. If you want to camp at the lake you have to pay extra. Beautiful and quiet place to spent a few hours.
Mathijs — Google review
Great trail suited for all family - nature at is best! Tickets cost 3 EUR per adult, no cost for children (also included in the yearly national park card on Montenegro). The trail have shadow all the way, nice places to stop for a picnic, but note there are mosquitoes. We were at the end of July so the lake wasn’t at his best but still everyone entered the water at the end. We took the wood boat - note its maximum 4 people including children’s in the count, it cost 10 EUR for 1 hour including life vest and it was great. Try to do it more in the late noon so there will be parts with shadow to sail to. We jumped to the lake from the boat but it was too much swinging so we did it also at the end after we gave back the boat and it was great. Highly recommend.

Maxime D — Google review
One of my favorite spots in Montenegro. The views of the lake, the forest and the hiking paths are incredibly bueatifull. I spent one night in one of those small wooden houses with my wife and it was an pleasant and interesting experience. It can be scary during night time since it's quite wild but it is also unique and definitely something to remember and to tell others about. The only down side it's the quality of the food in the restaurant, which at that time, was quite mediocre, but everything else is awesome.

Stopić Cave

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Caverns & Caves
Stopić Cave is an astonishing limestone cavern that features a stunning waterfall, natural bathing spots, and two halls equipped with vibrant lighting. The cave may be small in size but it is well-kept and fascinating to explore. It's definitely worth a visit as the tickets are reasonably priced and it makes for an interesting diversion. Despite having limited feedback available online, this unique location comes highly recommended and boasts a superb setting.
Visited with the kids. There is a parking for which you have to pay a 100 din/$1 fee. A 3-5 min paved walk will get you to the entrance, where you pay entrance fee and walk in the cave as long as you want. No guide, but there is an app you can download to guide yourself. No way to go with a stroller, lots of stairs when coming to the entrance and inside. It was not too cold inside in the middle of summer, so there was no need in extra cloth, but small babies might need a cover or smth.
Alex R — Google review
Nice, there is not much water in the pools and in general like there is in some of the pictures (maybe it depends on the season? We were there in September). The stalactites there look a little dry. There is a relatively small descent to the cave, inside the cave there are metal stairs that slightly spoil the appearance. Payment at the entrance is not possible by credit card, but you can pay in euros
Shmulik S — Google review
This is one of the most beautiful caves I have visited. The path to the cave is easy and can be reached in 5 minutes. The parking lot in front of the cave is large and costs 100 dinars. In the parking lot before the beginning of the path there are 2-3 souvenir shops where you can buy various souvenirs. The entrance to the cave is 400 dinars per person. The cave has a large opening, beautifully arranged paths, stairs and lighting. There is a waterfall in the cave, deep pools of water that looks like Pamukkale. This cave is worth visiting. I first visited it 7 years ago, and since then many things have changed, new stairs have been put above the pools and to the waterfall.

The nearest car park has a charge of 100rsd which would be fine if there was a sign, but instead I parked a car and a woman appeared out of nowhere to get the money. My car wasn’t even standing on the parking space, there were no lines but she said ,,Everything here is our car park”… Then there is a less than 5min walk to the cave through a forest, really nice views. The cave itself is not so special as the Internet hyped me. There is not much water and the light effects don’t come into expression. We didn’t even get the tickets, only the bill.
Marko ( — Google review
One of the most beautiful, stunning, marvellous, breathtaking place I have been to. This is the natural cave with waterfall and water tubs. The Google says it closed at 4:30 but it is actually open until 6, so ppl can come until 5:45 (this is the time we reached) Do not miss this place at any chance if you’re in Serbia 🇷🇸

Uvac Special Nature Reserve

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Mountain park & preserve of the griffon vulture with a serpentine river & various eco-habitats.
Our journey through Serbia concludes with an unforgettable visit to Uvac Nature Reserve, a breathtaking natural wonder tucked away in the country's southwest corner. This protected area is renowned for its winding emerald river, dramatic limestone cliffs, and diverse wildlife. The star attraction is undoubtedly the Uvac River itself. Its mesmerizing meanders carve a serpentine path through the landscape, creating a series of tight loops known as "The Uvac Meanders." From the viewpoints high above, the river's bends form a stunning natural masterpiece that's straight out of a painter's imagination. The reserve is also a crucial habitat for the rare Griffon vulture. We were lucky enough to spot several of these majestic birds soaring on thermals high above the canyon. With wingspans reaching up to 3 meters, they were an impressive sight against the backdrop of blue sky and white cliffs.
Hammad H — Google review
An incredibly beautiful place with a river meandering among mountainous landscape and griffon vultures hovering high above. It totally worth a moderately strenuous hike to the top of the hill to obverve the vistas.
Dmitry — Google review
Just so you know, and this is very important when planning your trip to this site. All the spectacular images of the winding river can be seen after a paid 4-5 hour cruise that includes a stop and a not-so-easy climb to an observation deck where you can see the winding river. From those who took the cruise, it was worth it. I understand that you can also get to the river windings by renting a paid ATV.

Pure nature. The lungs of Serbia. A beautiful national park with a large number of hiking and mountain trails. Lots of content for rest and recreation for you, your children or your friends.

Priyanjana K — Google review
The truly unique and magnificent destination of southwestern Serbia where more and more visitors come. Untouched nature, caves, lakes, endemic plant and species and the last refuge of almost extinct birds - griffon vulture, are just some of the things you can see during a visit to this natural reserve. I definitely could sit on the hill and watch this beauty all day long. The griffon vulture eagles are so many so I couldn’t even count. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Serbia.
Bryan R — Google review
We went to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view. Google maps and Waze guided us through a terrible off-road road, where we had to pave our own road with stones and pieces of wood, because the holes and ditches were so bad that it was impossible to drive through it. When we came back, we didn't want to use this road anymore and thought, whatever happens, let's go around. However, it turned out that there is a new asphalt road under construction, which neither Waze nor Google maps showed. So if the app wants to direct you off the asphalt road to an off road path, don't go and just drive along the asphalt road, it will lead you right to the free parking lot at the top of the hill. From there, you need to walk a little along the road to the viewing platform. I recommend wearing closed shoes as there were a lot of sharp rocks in some places.

A real aqua park. Staf is very helpful. It is great for both families and all ages. My family loves it.

Just arrived after a pretty long car drive, only to find out that the aqua park is closed. You can pay a 60€/pP entry fee to get an entry card, along with one clean towel and a key for a locker, only to find out that you get access to a small pull, filled with hotel guests and day-ticket holders, instead of access to the aqua park. Pretty disappointing overall. 2 stars for the cleanliness and the staff‘s friendliness

Great place, we enjoyed a lot with our children. The staff is very friendly at the slides. At the only open restaurant it was a little bit chaotic and we had to wait relatively long for food and drinks. The entry for locals is currently out of space. For an average Serbian income it is like spending 15-20% of a monthly salary.

All is nice and perfect and clean etc, but one thing was driving me crazy "cash or credit card" after each single thing I did, whether I ordered ☕ or did massage, like I will escape from there. I didn't feel comfortable. I felt like a walking open wallet. Customer care is really under question mark, not to mention mind blowing prices. Its not my thing and I wooldnt recommend it if u want to enjoy and relax. When a bill arrives u will not b relaxed.
Sandra J — Google review
Many fun slides, waiting time aprox. 3 minutes. Great for families, especially on summer. The problem is that they don't allow you to bring any food/water inside, and the only restaurant in there is super expensive, unhealthy, with no vegetarian options.
Damjan C — Google review
Ok, so here is the thing: since 2018. pools are for the hotel guests only. Or you can get in but you would have to pay full day pool and wellness and spa entrance, which is pricey. It is 5* hotel after all. But that also means that there is no crowd at the pool, waiting time is non existant and especially before noon aqua park is almost empty. You also can't bring your own food, but you can buy snacks and meals at the pool restaurant. Prices are mid-range. I'm not sure about negative comments about the staff, from what I've seen everyone is polite, professional and doing a good job. All in all, it is steep price-wise but you get premium experience.

This UNESCO-listed monastery features well-preserved churches with impressive frescoes, including the Church of Lady which houses Stefan Nemanja's tomb, and the King's Church with acclaimed frescoes. Visitors describe it as a place of silence, majesty, and contemplation that exudes history and beauty.
Beautiful, peaceful, holy. This of the beaten path monastery is worth the visit especially for those of Serbian heritage. Monastery Studenica was built in the 11th century by Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja, who later become the 1st king of Serbia and the founder of Nemanjić dynasty. The interior is adorned by beautiful frescoes amongst which is the Studenica Crusifiction. A large amount of Byzantine blue paint was used for this fresco. Byzantine blue is saturated monarch purple with blue undertones. At the time, this pigment was valued more than gold. Just a few kings were adorned with capes in this color. Artists such as Raphael, Botticelli and Titian whose patrons were rich and influential were able to use this color in their masterpieces. How was a prince of a small Balkan country able to acquire this paint is still a mystery. Stefan Nemanja, St. Simeon both brothers of St. Sava as well as their mother Anastasija are entombed in Studenica.

Studenica Monastery is probably the most famous, beautiful and largest monastery in Serbia, and a UNESCO heritage site. It was built in the 12th century by the rulers Stephan Namanja and his son Stephan the First-Crowned, of Nemanjic dynasty, and later expanded by other rulers. There are 3 churches (one was closed), as well as ruins of another one, monastic residences and other buidings. Churches are adorned with amazing frescoes from different periods, the most famous and well preserved one being the Crucifixion, fron 1209, in the main church. Studenica Monastery is one of the highest achievements of Byzantine-style art anywhere, and has to be visited on any tour to Serbia.

This is one of the Byzantine Monasteries listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site. It is an impressive fully operational Orthodox Serbian Church containing priceless Byzantine frescoes. The architecture is impressive with a combination of materials and styles that came to be known as the “Raška School”. A gorgeous doorway leads into a narthex (church entry) on the west end that contains a large baptismal font. The walls of the narthex are lined with frescoes. The nave is located through a doorway on the east end of this room and is also beautifully done. Built by Stefan Nemanja when he abdicated as king of Serbia in 1190 it has been well maintained by the Nemanjić Dynasty since its completion.

This monastery is one of the most beautiful ones I've been to so far. It's located amongst mountains and the scenery is just amazing. I would recommend coming to the monastery on a working day rather than a weekend as I assume it'd be less crowded. When we visited, there was a lot of high schoolers due to a school trip and there was quite a bit of tourtists as well.

Beautiful, very peaceful and spiritual. An ideal place to gather your thoughts and to enjoy in silence. For its value and importance for Serbian and world heritage UNESCO included the Studenica monastery on the list of World Heritage sites. Founded in 12th century by Stefan Nemanja, the first in the famous Nemanjic dynasty m, whose burial place is within the church. Here is also a burial place of his son Stephen the First-Crowned, the first Serbian king crowned by the Catholic Church.

The oldest monastery in Serbia, built in 1200. It is located in a beautiful and large natural area. It is a bit difficult to reach (about 10 km from the main road), go here if you are passionate about this kind of thing.

I brought mine 8 y.o child in this memorial park and museum 21. October for the first time. It was very challenging how to explain horror of the Second World War and what really happened on this place so long ago. This memorial park and the Museum are places that have to been seen. Beautiful, peaceful place in Kragujevac city with lots of history behind every monument in it. Definitely worth of visiting although it left you with sadness and bitter taste.

A popular place for a walk with your family, friends or pets if you're in Kragujevac. Every October 21. there is a cultural show named "Veliki školski čas" where there are plays and a choir that is there to remind us of the tragic moments that our country's kids had to go through. You can catch a couple of people exercising on any other day of the year. All in all a breathtaking place everyone should visit.

Bridge of Love

The bridge of love. An interesting background to a sad true love story.
Silvester P — Google review
A small bridge 4 m long on the Vrnjačka river whose fences are covered with thousands of padlocks. The symbolism of padlocks is love, but in the sense that love lasts forever and is locked with a padlock, i.e. to prevent one of the lovers from giving up on the relationship and seeking happiness with someone else :) What should be done? 1. Buy a good padlock that will not be damaged by years and decades. 2. Go with your love partner to the bridge and swear eternal love. 3. Attach the padlock to the bridge fence and lock it. 4. Throw the key somewhere far away where no one will ever find it, for example in a big river. 5. Live happily ever after with the same partner. Good luck!

Water park with swimming pools, water slides & lounge chairs, plus fast food eateries.
Great place for kids in summer. Few small pools with slides and attractions. It's shame there's not some typical restaurant inside Aquapark, so all options for food is fastfood. It's visible that the place is old, but it's wide, open and despite lot of people, you don't have feeling of crowded place

Small water park with friendly staff. Rides are okay, but the ones that are taken without seats are quite bumpy and feel like you can get hurt. It's usually very busy which unfortunately means that it gets a bit dirty as the day passes. You can have a good fast food and refreshments on premises.

Reconstructed church with 14th-century origins & a facade of patterned brickwork & rose windows.
It is an amazing place. It took days for Serbian army to take last communion before a battle on Kosovo field ( field of blackbird ) 1389 against Ottoman Army. It is also a tribute to a founder of the city of Kruševac, Lazar Hrebljanovic, better known as Emperor Lazar for the Serbs.

The staff is extremely unsatisfactory, to put it the nicest way possible. They booked the wrong room first, were not very happy about correcting their mistake, and to make matters worse, they left us with no blankets or covers. Instead of fixing the issue, the receptionist was eager to say "we can't do that" to each of MY suggestions (don't think the receptionist would ever think of a solution themselves), and was open to arguing me for five minutes, instead of doing their job. I doubt I'll ever be booking any of the hotels from their chain again. I recommend avoiding this place. Also, the spa center is really not wow - you can find better ones for less money. Try another resort, my honest suggestion.

Polite staff and service is great. Hotel is clean and nice. The room was the smallest one we got for this weekend - it was not first time staying here. Pools are warm and hot, even those outside and sauna is great. But this time was only one of two sauna was in function .... Steam room was not in function also and salty room was not working. We had a breakfast and bed service I see in description that breakfast is free - it's not- on bill I saw few days later that they charged breakfast, it is some silly price (100 RSD / 0.85 EUR) but it is charged as a separate item. This didn't affected at price that we were told. It was snowing and outside pools were great at that moment.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Manasija Monastery, located in the Resava river gorge about 135km southeast of Belgrade, is a walled Serbian Orthodox complex dating back to 1418. The monastery served as a fortified refuge for artists and writers fleeing the Turkish invasion and features mammoth walls with 11 towers. Despite surviving various foreign rulers and battles over its more than 600-year history, it retains some original frescoes and a mosaic floor.
The best time to visit is on a weekday and in mild weather, so you can fully experience the peaceful energy of this ancient fortress without crowds. ✅ Why is it special? – The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming—you can even bring your dog! 🐕 (A rare exception for monasteries.) – The church is home to breathtaking frescoes, and the whole place feels deeply spiritual and serene. – The monastery shop offers unique souvenirs—I highly recommend the raspberry syrup and natural cosmetics. 🍇🛍️ 🌿 What’s nearby? After visiting, you can explore more hidden gems: 📍 Resava Cave (30-minute drive) 💦 Veliki Buk Waterfall 🌲 Eco-trail (starting from Izvor Lisine restaurant) 🚗 There’s a large parking area by the river—perfect for a picnic. And if you’re lucky, you might spot a herd of sheep grazing nearby! 🐑

Large cave system with stone formations & many species of bats, open for guided tours.
I visited the cave with a private guide in August 2024. This is one of the most famous and beautiful caves in Serbia. The tourist path is 800 meters long. The temperature is always around 7C, so it is a good idea to take a jacket or a sweater to the cave. The cave is rich in stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated by various colors of light. The whole experience is a lot of fun.

The availability of free parking further adds to the convenience. From the moment you arrive, it becomes abundantly clear why Ripaljka Waterfall is considered a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility. The sheer beauty of the surrounding landscape is awe-inspiring, offering a sanctuary where one can unwind and rejuvenate the soul. The peaceful ambiance combined with the harmonious sound of cascading water creates an atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Serbia. When you are visiting Eastern Serbia do not miss this natural treasure... Since there was so much water and waterfall looked so alive, I believe that best time of the year to visit it would be end of February, this would be my advice, just not to miss it in all his beauty. People sometimes come here during summer and there is no water or it is just barely alive...It is few minutes Sokobanja, so when in Sokobanja, visiting Ripaljka is a must... 😀
Darko T — Google review
If you’re visiting Soko Banja then you can ad this place to your “to visit list”. You can reach this place by a car and by walking. If you are coming by car you will find parking area close to the waterfall. Even so the restaurant, small souvenir shops, hospital and a small lake. If walking (depends in which season you’re visiting) it will take you round one hour walk. You will find some limited information in which direction you will walk but it’s not any marked path. Most of the walk would be on the local road up or downhill and you need to be careful and watch the passing cars.

The Red Cross Concentration Camp, situated in Nis, Serbia, is a poignant historical landmark that provides insight into the grim realities of World War II. Established by Nazi Germany during the occupation of Yugoslavia, this camp functioned as a significant detention and extermination center for prisoners of war and civilians. Despite being overshadowed by more well-known camps like Auschwitz and Dachau, it played a crucial role in the war's atrocities.
Exceptionally well preserved camp. You can really feel the atmosphere. You should plan and spend some time reading through the documentaron add it's really memorable. I only stayed there for about an hour and I felt so cold, mainly due to the moisture and lack of any isolation. Can't imagine how people survived there. So scary, indeed.

Neglected to be honest, love the story of the place and the lessons that you get for that happened here in the past but the place is dying slowly. They should renovate and take care of it more so we can have it through the years. Only 2.5€ and you CAN PAY BY CARD! Very important because we didn't had cash on us. No guided tour, you can just look around alone

Definitely worth a vist. Very poignant and disturbing. Note the faded writing over the ticket office. Plenty of information to read and many personal stories. We spent around 2 hours there and took everything in. As a result of the visit we decided to walk up to the memorial where many of the camp inmates were executed. It's about a 40 minute walk from the camp and once there about a 20 minute walk back to the centre.

Visiting the Nazi concentration camp in Niš was a deeply moving and educational experience. The site is well preserved and respectfully curated, offering powerful insights into the events that took place there. The story of the escape on February 12th stands out as a moment of incredible courage and hope in the face of darkness. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and in honoring the resilience of the human spirit.

Unparalleled atmosphere, as always in such kind of places. Three floors and good exhibition with artifacts and explanations in Serbian and English

I would highly recommend a visit if you’re a history buff like me. Walking around this place of death was eerie and cold. This place is well preserved. As you walk into the building where thousands of people were caged and tortured while waiting for execution the mind and imagination haunts you. It’s certainly changed my life having visited this place.

Some things should never be forgotten. I recommend to visit. Unfortunately, place is kind of neglected and with no true respect to all fallen victims. Cars of employees parked inside, some places turned into offices, some garbage outside. This place could be much better. It's just not enough will to do something.

These places are never easy to visit. It was very informative of the atrocities that took place. A good place to visit and pay your respect for the fallen.

Great place to spend a couple of hours and it's free. There are information plaques in Serbian and English located around the site with explanations of what you can see. Definitely worth a visit.

A wonderful and interesting archaeological place. It also contains places to buy beautiful souvenirs, in addition to quiet cafes surrounded by a forest with a beautiful view. It is really a wonderful place to enjoy.

A great place to visit in the city. There are many old things and buildings in the fortress that you should see. At the entrance there is a public toilet that is free, and in front of it a souvenir shop. There are two small trains here for the youngest who want to enjoy a walk through the park in a different way. A large part of the fortress is under deep shadows. The whole place is with lush vegetation and lots of greenery. Here you will see the remains of an old church, a mosque, a lapidarium, visit museums and many other things. In August, one of the most famous music festivals in the region, Nisville, takes place. It is worth visiting.

Good park, with some attractions around. Has a place for coffee, several souvenir shops, and an open stage with events (might be available online, but I'm not sure). There was no entry fee nor ticket required, but it could be only for this visit. It has a miniature locomotive which provides a sightseeing tour, not sure if it is guided. We parked at a public payed parking, but at the end of the work time for Saturday, but we found it a bit difficult for people who do not have a local Sim card. There is an app, but requires an account which we did not bother to make. Nearly there is a bazaar which has WONDERFUL produce at EXTREMELY affordable prices. Those aromas and tastes took me back to my childhood at my grandma's house - just wonderful, highly recommend!!!

Skull Tower

Local history museum
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Skull Tower, also known as Cele Kula, is a haunting stone structure in Nis, Serbia. Built in 1809 by the Ottomans, it is embedded with real human skulls. This iconic and chilling monument stands as a reminder of the first Serbian uprising against Ottoman rule. During this historic event, Serbian rebels were vastly outnumbered by the Turkish army at Cegar Hill near Nis.
Visiting the Skull Tower (Ćele Kula) in Niš was an unforgettable experience. It's both chilling and deeply moving—a powerful reminder of Serbia’s turbulent past and the sacrifices made during the fight for freedom. The structure, built from the skulls of Serbian rebels, is incredibly well preserved and respectfully presented. The museum provides detailed historical context in multiple languages, and the staff were knowledgeable and kind. It’s not a long visit—maybe 30–45 minutes—but the impact lasts much longer. This is a must-see for anyone interested in Balkan history, and a truly unique site you won't find anywhere else in the world. Highly recommended if you’re in Niš or passing through southern Serbia. Just be prepared—it's emotional, but incredibly important.

A tower constructed from 952 skulls of 19th-century Serbian rebels. The tower was built to serve as a lesson to Serbs who wanted to break away from the Ottoman Empire and was later converted into a monument. Until 1878, the tower remained open and unprotected, leaving only 58 skulls remaining today due to weather conditions and the fact that the skulls were taken away by rebel relatives for burial. In 1892, with donations from across Serbia, a church was built by Belgrade architect Dimitrije T. Leko, encompassing and enclosing the tower on all sides.
Hetz N — Google review
A unique and moving historical site in Niš. Skull Tower is a powerful reminder of the past, well preserved inside a chapel. Entrance is 300 RSD = 2.5€, and the visit takes about 20–30 minutes. Highly recommended for history lovers
Aleksandra M — Google review
Most unique monument in the world. Built by the Ottomans in 1809 as a warning to the Balkan people to not try to do battle with them. Made of the skills of proud Serbian warriors that sacrificed themselves instead of being captured.
Brett M — Google review
Tickets can be bought in the building next to it, but there was no one to check. Around 300 dinars from what I remember. Would be nice if there were more details to the story presented, but I understand why they would want to keep it as it is. All in all, weird feeling that you get there, keeps reminding us of what humans are capable of just for power.
Dora B — Google review
Sad story of the Serbs and what happened when they finally had a TINY bit of success against the Ottomans. To imagine that this tower still stands where it was originally built in 1809 was amazing.
Marjorie G — Google review
It's worth a vist and the entrance fee is not too high. It's probably about a 10 minute vist to see the 4 sides of the tower and read the 4 information boards.

Fortress located exactly in the center of the city of Pirot. iI you want a super relaxing walk then you have to visit the fortress, especially since there is no entrance tax and no other tax. It is very easy to reach the location, which is located in a very nicely maintained park. The park also has a playground if you come here with your child

Momchilov Grad (also known as Momchilovo Kale or Pirot Fortress), according to legend, it was built in the 14th century by the Rhodopean Bulgarian ruler Momchil Voivoda. It is definitely worth a visit, although the views from it are not impressive but rather disappointing—dirty and in stark contrast to the fortress.
Albena K — Google review
2025: Back ~6 years later. Now a renovated, modern fortress, open for a few hours a day 10 - 15h, free to enter. There are even screens with videos promoting and explaining Serbian culture. I loved it. So glad things have changed for the better! Be responsible and keep it clean. 2018/9: 1*. No actual need to stop here. The fortress is OK, from the outside, but is closed permanently. The garden around it is dirty and really nothing to see. You can stop if you pass by, for 10 min or so, should be enough to walk around it. Pirot's market is a better attraction.

I think this is the second time I come to Pirot, and the second time the fortress is closed an hour earlier than what it says on the sign outside.... not great for the single tourist attraction in Pirot...

Belogradchik Fortress

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Belogradchik Fortress is a historic site with unique conglomerate rock formations that were once used as fortresses. Constructed by the Romans between the first and third centuries CE, the fortress features openings for guns and three bastions for cannons on its walls. Visitors can climb to the highest point of the fortress, known as the first slab, to enjoy stunning views of the 230 ft. high rocks in the surrounding area.
For Bulgaria road-trip, I voted here to be the best place I have visited. This place is the combination of nature and human creativity. It gives you serene and fabulous feelings. One day, one night is a must to be here at least. I found not so many people here that is lovely when compared as any famous and popular places.

Amazing place, the favourite place of Mr.Musk. You need to see with your eyes, so can feel the real deal. If you want to fly with the balloon, you need to be on site 6:15AM, park in front of the police station and follow the lights :)

Here’s a more vivid review in English: An absolutely cosmic place — the mountains look as if they belong to another planet. The landscape is breathtaking, surreal, and unforgettable. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Alex L — Google review
There is a parking lot right next to the entrance pf the fortress. Paid parking 2,5 euro for the hall stay. The entrance price of the fortress - 7,5 euro 🙄 But the place was okay. If you want to go to the top - there are stairs and right at the top are a lot of big rocks - so prepare the right shoes. You can enter with the dog. The souvenirs are sold right behind the cashier- big stone building.

The Belogradchik Rocks in Bulgaria are a breathtaking natural wonder, with towering red sandstone formations carved over 230 million years in the Balkan Mountains. Reaching up to 200m, they create a dramatic, otherworldly landscape perfect for photography. The nearby Belogradchik Fortress, built into the rocks, adds historical depth. The trail has steep, uneven steps, so walk carefully. Bring water and snacks, as there are no facilities. Visit in daylight for vibrant colors or at sunset for a glowing sky—both are unforgettable! A must-see for adventurers and nature lovers!

Very interesting rocks formation within inserted perfectly the Roman empyre architecture for a fortress. Unfortunately is not well maintained from the staff, not too expensive 7,5€ but it's in a very remote region from Sofia. Better to spend one night in the area to visit also the Danube border region. They use it for events so the installation are unfortunately someway invasive.
