Your journey begins with a scenic ride from Sofia to Nis. You'll pass by incredible vistas with a view of Serbia's Mediana, a historical site that still echoes the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It was once a luxurious suburban residence for the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.
The first stop is the Skull Tower, which serves as a somber reminder of the fierce resistance against Ottoman rule. The walls of the tower are adorned with the skulls of fallen rebels to serve as a cautionary tale. Your adventure takes a turn at the Red Cross Nazi Concentration Camp, a site steeped in grim history. Yet, it is remarkable for a story of resilience — the daring but successful breakout of its prisoners.
Your journey concludes at the Nis Fortress. There, you will explore the ruins that whisper tales of both the ancient city of Nisus and its Ottoman chapter. Enjoy the local culinary traditions and take a break after a day filled with moving stories from the past.
