See the Dragon Bridge (Zmajski Most), guarded by large dragon statues at each end, spanning the Ljubljanica River. Stroll through Prešeren Square and visit Ljubljana Castle, perched atop a 376-meter hill.

Visit Bled Castle, the oldest castle in Slovenia.

Visit Bled Island in the middle of the lake, home to the Gothic-style Church of the Mother of God on the Lake. According to local wedding tradition, the groom must carry his bride up the 99 stone steps to the church and ring "The Wishing Bell" inside to make a wish.

Marvel at the spectacular stalactites and stalagmites inside the cave. A short distance away,

Bihać is a city in the Una-Sana Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the northwestern part of the country on the banks of the Una River, near the Croatian border. It was under Turkish rule until 1878. Enjoy the scenic views of the Una River with Una National Park as its backdrop.

Then, head to Travnik (217 km), the former Ottoman capital of Bosnia for 150 years from 1697 to 1850.

Visit the fortress and the picturesque bridge over the Lašva River. In the past, this town was known as the Istanbul of Europe and the castle town of Travnik. Today, it is well known for its sheep cheese and is the birthplace of Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić, author of classic Bosnian literature.

We'll take you to explore Sarajevo (95 km), the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and another major city in the Balkans with a long history dating back to the Ottoman Empire in 1461. A momentous historical event took place right here: this is where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914, triggering World War I. In addition, during the period when Bosnia and Herzegovina sought independence from Yugoslavia, Sarajevo was besieged by the Yugoslav military for over 1,425 days (about 3 years and 11 months)—recorded as the longest siege of a city in modern world history. Today, however, the city is recognized as one of the safest in Europe. While people often associate it with images of past wars, the reality is completely the opposite. In 2011–2012, Sarajevo was selected by Lonely Planet as one of the top ten cities to visit, and in 2014, it was the only non-EU city nominated to be the European Capital of Culture in 2014.

Then travel to Mostar (129 km) to visit the massive bunker built into the mountain in Konjic—once Yugoslavia's best-kept secret, where leaders of the Yugoslav Republic planned for atomic warfare. This is one of the most expensive structures built in the former Yugoslavia, taking 26 years to construct (from 1953 to 1979).

Today, we'll take you on a tour of Belgrade, the capital and largest city of Serbia, first settled in prehistoric times. Two major rivers flow through the city: the Sava River, flowing from the southwest, meets the Danube River here. The confluence of these two rivers was considered an advantageous strategic stronghold since ancient times and is the site of the ancient Belgrade Fortress. We will explore Belgrade Fortress and stroll along Knez Mihailova Street, a popular shopping street located nearby.

Next, we visit the Temple of Saint Sava (St. Sava Temple), one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. It is believed to be the site where the remains of Saint Sava, a saint revered by Serbians, were burned. Construction began in 1935 but was halted, resuming again in 1985. The interior is still undergoing completion, with the cathedral expected to be completed in 2020, featuring a large elevator for visitors to enjoy high-angle panoramic views from the base of the dome.

Before wrapping up today's tour, we'll take you to Zemun, a small town that has been part of Belgrade since 1934, located about 13 km away. This town once served as a border town between the Ottoman and Austrian empires. You'll stroll through this town filled with old Central European charm, visit the central market, and walk along the Danube riverbank—a favorite local relaxation spot surrounded by historic Central European-style houses. Next, walk to The Millennium Tower to ascend and admire breathtaking views of Zemun, then visit St. Nicholas Church, the town's oldest Orthodox church.

We take you to visit the House of Flowers at the Museum of Yugoslav History, the most visited museum in Serbia and an important symbol of the era and ideology that governed this region for nearly 50 years.
