Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
On a shared tour, you can only buy entrance tickets for "Zone 1" (the green zone) of Golubac Fortress. The other zones are available only on a private tour, moderate to extremely challenging, and require visitors to be in excellent physical condition. Also, appropriate clothing and footwear are mandatory (tracksuit, trousers, capris, trainers, hiking shoes).
Service animals allowed
Specialized infant seats are available
The minimum number for a shared tour to operate is three guests.
The restaurant doesn't accept credit cards, so payment is possible only with cash.
We kindly ask you to bring passports (just in case) because the fortress is very close to the Romanian border, and the border police in that area sometimes ask tourists for documents.
