Highlights

Budapest: An expert walking tour that’ll take you past the Royal Palace, Chain Bridge and Fisherman’s Bastion.

Lake Bled: Take it easy with your new besties as you walk around the scenic lake, framed by the Julian Alps. 

Plitvice Lakes National Park: Turquoise lakes. Sparkling waterfalls. Lush green forests. You’ll never want to leave this little slice of heaven. 

Dubrovnik: Stroll through the UNESCO-listed old town with a local guide. And play a game of ‘spot the Game of Thrones film set’ as you go.  

Tirana: Take an orientation around the rainbow-coloured Albanian capital with your Contiki gang. Familiarise yourself with the landmarks and best places to grab a coffee.

Tirana: Wanna dive into Albania’s past? Then you need visit Bunk’Art – a massive underground bunker turned museum. It was once built to protect leaders from nuclear attacks. And now it tells the story of Albania’s communist era with art, history (and even a few surprises!). Explore eerie tunnels, snap some pics, and experience a slice of Cold War history you won’t find anywhere else.

Mostar: See this epic piece of Ottoman architecture, which was destroyed by war in 1993 and then rebuilt.  

Sarajevo: See the sights of the Bosnian capital and get up to speed on 500 years of history, from the Ottomans to the present day. 

Belgrade: Ramble around the Serbian capital. It’s brimming with culture and history for you to soak up.

Balkan Kaleidoscope — 8 Balkan Countries in 14 Days

The Balkans were once known as the “Powder Keg of Europe”. Indeed, history is full of sudden burst of strong Balkan passions. But wars are left in the past. We can now only enjoy the beautiful features of the sunny face of the Balkans — beautiful and preserved nature, old monasteries, cozy towns — a different and slightly old-fashioned Europe. In this 14-day tour of the Balkans, we take you through eight countries in the region. See the most interesting places in each country: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia. They are all alike and at the same time very different in their own ways. This is the place, where Europe meets the Orient, where Christians and Muslims have lived together for centuries, where old traditions coexist with the rhythm of the 21st century. Highlights of the tour include Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Dubrovnik, the masterpiece of the Adriatic; and the picturesque Kotor Bay and the town of Kotor, which form a beautiful ensemble of natural, historic and cultural heritage. You will also visit Visoki Decani Monastery in Kosovo; Tirana, the capital city of Albania; and Ohrid, the capital of Bulgarian Empire. See the itinerary section for more details.
