Zlatibor is one of the most visited mountain destinations in Serbia and an ideal place for a day trip from Belgrade.

Gaga Turs Zlatibor offers a morning departure at 07:30 and a return at 17:00, which allows for flexible planning of a day trip.

What to Visit During a Day Trip to Zlatibor
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.
Gold Gondola
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.
Lunch and Local Specialties
Zlatibor is famous for its gastronomy. During lunch, we recommend:
- Komplet lepinja
- Homemade cheeses and pršuta (prosciutto)
- Traditional dishes of the Zlatibor region
