Excursions from Belgrade
Ada Ciganlija
Once an island but now a peninsula, Ada Ciganlija is a fantastic place to while away a summer's afternoon on the beach or at one of the many bars and restaurants overlooking the lake and river. For the more energetic, there are all manner of sports and recreational pursuits on offer from sailing and swimming to bungee-jumping and paint ball. Ada is just 4km (2.5 miles) southwest of the city centre close to New Belgrade and is easily reached by bus or taxi.

Novi Sad
Serbia’s second city, Novi Sad, is 85km (53 miles) north of Belgrade and a possible day trip, but really worth several days. Don't miss the impressive Petrovaradin Citadel and a stroll along the city's charming pedestrianised streets, dotted with cafés, bars and museums. July is a good month to visit, as the annual Exit Festival sees the town flooded with festival-goers. If you have more time, though, make sure you explore the monasteries and vineyards of Fruška Gora.
