From airport to location
Golubac Fortress, a dramatically situated medieval stronghold on the Danube, offers a captivating historical experience. While accessible primarily by car with ample parking, visitors should note that exploring the fortress involves climbing stairs and uneven paths, potentially challenging for those with mobility limitations, though the lower levels and visitor center are more accommodating. Guests can choose between self-guided exploration with informative signage or opt for guided tours for deeper historical insights. The fortress is generally open year-round, but spring and autumn provide the most pleasant weather for a visit, avoiding summer heat and winter cold. Entry costs typically range from 3 to 7 EUR, and a comprehensive visit usually lasts between 2 to 4 hours. Don't forget comfortable footwear to fully enjoy the extensive grounds and breathtaking views of the Iron Gate gorge.
