Summer in Belgrade: boat tour

Feel the beauty of the two rivers

One of the people, among many, who were so much fascinated with Belgrade, was Ivo Andric, extraordinarily renowned writer and famous persona in the Balkan region. In my opinion, nobody could depict the beauty of Serbian capital, like he did, especially during the summer. Many people take it for granted, but the sky above Belgrade is so glorious. It is expansive and high, constanly shifting yet remaining beautiful. So blue and clear, it may surprise people with quick and refreshing summer storms that immerse in the gorgeous rivers of Belgrade, Sava and Danube. Andric always claimed them to be beautiful and rich, as a compensation to this unique town for everything that is not there, and a consolation for all that should not be. The splendor of summer sunsets and memorable, blue sky is beautifully reflected in the rivers beneath Belgrade. It would be perfect, almost fairytale-like to capture that remarkable reddish tint of the sun and observe it through Sava and Danube. But what if I told you that all that is indeed possible? You can spend you glorious summer days in Belgrade at its finest spot, by having a memorable boat tour.
