Itinerary
Get an early start with a 8 am pickup from your accommodation in Belgrade. Journey directly to Niš, the third largest city in Serbia and birthplace of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.
Begin your guided sightseeing tour of the city with a visit to Archaeological site Mediana - one of the most important Serbian Late Antiquity archaeological sites, built between III and the beginning of IV century. A villa with a peristyle with more than 1.000m2 of the valuable floor mosaics takes the central place in Mediana.
Continue your guided tour with a visit to Skull Tower, a morbid reminder of the ill-fated First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman empire in the early 19th century. Built from the skulls of fallen rebel fighters, the tower was initially constructed by the Ottoman's as a warning against further rebellion.
Expose yourself further to the darker side of Niš with a visit to the Crveni Krst Concentration Camp. Operated by the Nazis during the Second World War, the camp was used to detain as many as 35,000 Jews, Roma, and Serbs. Enter the three-story complex and familiarize yourself with a lesser-known Holocaust site that speaks to the complex history of WWII-era Serbia. Contemplate the area's dark past by viewing the personal belongings of prisoners, hearing stories about the first major escape from a Nazi concentration camp in Europe, and seeing ten prison cells.
Mourn the victims of the Red Cross Concentration camp with a stop at Bubanj Memorial Park where more than 10,000 people were executed.
Continue on with the sightseeing tour, making stops at Niš Fortress, King Milan Square and the Monument to the Liberators, Cair's Fountain (a well-preserved drinking fountain that forms an important part of the city's architectural heritage), Memorial of Constantine the Great, and City Hall (a stunning example of neoclassicist architecture built in 1925).
Finish your tour in Kazandzijsko Sokace or "Tinkers Alley," a picturesque, cobble-stoned street located in the old town. Take a photo at the iconic Stevan Sremac and Kalča Monument, located at the entrance to the alleyway.
2 hours break for lunch/shopping etc. before making the drive back to Belgrade.

We enjoyed very much this very well done and educational tour of Nis. Our guide Nina was very knowledgeable and friendly. Driver was great as well and we highly recommend it!
Dear Chris! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this thorough and insightful review. We appreciate that you've taken the time to share your experience. We are really looking forward to your return. Best Regards, SIT Team
A clear highlight of our week in Serbia, this trip far exceeded our expectations. Nina was attentive to the topics that were most engaging for us and was able to modify parts of the tour to ensure that we were happy with what we saw and what we were doing. Ranko was an excellent driver and was also engaging when we had a chance to talk with him over lunch. Make no mistake, this is a very long day with many hours in the car. But we were always comfortable and our needs and requests were always respected. We highly recommend Serbia Inspired and Nina/Ranko
