Bragadiru Palace

A Tauck Exclusive evening at Bragadiru Palace

Named after founder Dumitru Marinescu Bragadiru, one of Romania's most important industrialists, the palace was originally used as a brewery and a performance hall before being confiscated in the 1940's (later returning to the descendants of Bragadiru in the early 2000's). Get ready to dine amidst the walls of this intrepid palace on a Tauck Exclusive evening here complete with dinner and musical entertainment.

Tauck Exclusive – Dinner at a Royal Palace

Exclusive Tauck evening at Serbia's Royal White Palace in Belgrade

The Serbian Royal Family's White Palace (Beli Dvor) in the Dedinje Complex in Belgrade was built for the then Crown Princes of Yugoslavia in the 1930s, and shares the complex with the Royal Palace, built a decade earlier and now home to HRH Crown Prince Alexander II of Serbia. The beautiful neo-Classical White Palace is the setting for our Tauck Exclusive gala dinner in Belgrade... an evening you won't soon forget!

The Danube River

This was a first for Tauck and me on a river, so I expected the best and got the best. The ship was marvelous, the rooms spacious and the food delicious.
