Where the Danube narrows into the Iron Gates Gorge, Golubac greets you with a fortress that seems carved from legend. Nine towers stand guard above the river, their stone walls echoing with centuries of battles and shifting empires. Walk through the ramparts to hear tales of knights and kings, or stand on the battlements as the Danube stretches toward forested cliffs. Beyond the fortress, trails of Djerdap National Park invite you into landscapes alive with birdsong and hidden views of the gorge. Pause for a drink along the river, where fishermen cast their lines and the fortress glows in the fading light. With Celebrity River Cruises, Golubac is not just a historic site, it’s an unforgettable threshold into the wild beauty of the Danube.
