Kraljev Trg (King's Square) and the Center of Zlatibor

Kraljev Trg is the central location and a practical starting point for sightseeing. Cafes, restaurants, shops, and tourist information can be found here. Well-maintained pedestrian paths suitable for walking surround the area.

Zlatibor Lake

The lake is in the immediate vicinity of the center. A walk around the lake — with views of the mountain along nicely arranged paths — is one of the most beautiful parts of a day tour. Benches, cafes, and spots for a short break are located along the lakeside.

The Gold Gondola is one of the most visited attractions. The ride provides a view of the forested Zlatibor landscape and is recommended for anyone wishing to see Zlatibor from a different perspective.
