Accompanied by a tour guide from Vranje and a Ukrainian-language translator, the participants visited some of the most important cultural and historical sites in Vranje. The first stop was the Beli most, a symbol of unrequited love, where the participants heard the legend of Ajša and Stojan. After that, they visited the Monastery of St. Nicholas, an endowment from the first half of the 14th century, which later became the metochion of the Hilandar Monastery. The tour continued at the Church of St. Petka, also known as the Cross Mosque, which dates back to the 13th century. During the Ottoman rule, it was converted into a mosque, but its architecture preserved the cross, which is why today it is an important place of pilgrimage for people of all faiths.

The path then led to Selamluk, today's National Museum of the City of Vranje, where the users had the opportunity to see an exhibition of traditional costumes of the urban and rural areas of old Vranje, authentic furniture, dishes, as well as displays of old crafts and houses. This was followed by a visit to the house of Saint Justin Popović, where the participants heard the story of the life and work of this great theologian, also known as Justin Ćelijski. A special moment was when the children got the opportunity to ring the church bells, which brought them great excitement and joy. At the end, each participant was given an icon of the Holy Father Justin Popović.

The excursion ended with a visit to the Bora Stanković House Museum, where visitors learned more about the life and work of one of the most famous Serbian writers. In the museum, they could see his birthplace, his first manuscripts, the original chair and the guest room of his mother Zlata. The last stop was lunch at Gradska Mehana, an authentic restaurant where the participants refreshed themselves and shared their impressions of the tour.

The excursion aroused enthusiasm among the participants and great interest in the next trip.
