Tara National Park and the Drina from Belgrade, Serbia
A small-group day from Belgrade to the house on the Drina, the Banjska Stena viewpoint and Tara's forests.
Tara National Park sits on a forested plateau above the Drina canyon in western Serbia. Its best-known sights are the Banjska Stena viewpoint, which looks straight down into the canyon, and the little wooden house on a rock in the middle of the Drina near Bajina Bašta.
The trip we link to picks you up in Belgrade and drives about three hours west in a small group of up to seven. You stop at the Drina and the house on the rock, then spend around three hours in the national park, with short walks to viewpoints including Banjska Stena and a stop at Zaovine Lake. Then it is about three hours back to Belgrade.
It is mostly sightseeing with easy walking, so it suits anyone who wants to see the Drina and Tara without renting a car. The roads through the mountains are winding, so take something for travel sickness if you need it.

Who is it for?
Best for: Visitors based in Belgrade who want to see western Serbia's best scenery in one day, without driving the mountain roads themselves.
Skip it if: You want a proper hike or time on the water. Stay a night or two in Bajina Bašta instead, and add rafting or kayaking on the Drina and longer trails in the park.
