Balkans & Venice (Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Balkans and Venice route spans some of Europe's most diverse and rewarding destinations, stretching from the Black Sea coasts of Bulgaria and Romania through the landlocked heartlands of Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, out to the stunning Adriatic shores of Croatia and Slovenia, and culminating in the iconic lagoon city of Venice, Italy. The region is celebrated for its dramatic contrasts — Ottoman bazaars, Byzantine monasteries, medieval walled cities like Dubrovnik, and the Baroque canals of Venice sit within days of each other. Travellers come for the rich layered history, incredible value for money, world-class hiking in the Dinaric Alps and Julian Alps, thriving nightlife in Belgrade, and some of the most unspoiled coastline in the Mediterranean. Independent and group travellers are drawn by the sense of discovery — well-trodden highlights alongside genuinely off-the-beaten-path corners that feel nothing like mainstream European tourism.
