In the heart of the Balkan Peninsula is the Republic of Serbia, a country with a Slavic soul and Turkish traditions. The kindness and hospitality of the Serbs is one of the main attractions of Serbia. The protracted military conflict at the end of the 20th century taught the Serbian people to love and respect all living things, and to look into the future with optimism. European tourists are attracted to this amazing country not by the chic and luxury of tourist services, but by the cleanest air, virgin nature and human (not commercial) relationships between people.

Due to the geographical location of Serbia, its history is “replete” with all kinds of conquests and seizures (Illyrian and Celtic tribes, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, etc.). Today, this is reflected in the richness of national customs and traditions, as well as the multinationality of the country’s inhabitants.

Modern Serbia has rich tourism potential: ski and health resorts, hunting and fishing grounds, incredible national parks, etc.

The largest and most majestic among the Serbian rivers is, of course, the Danube, which forms many bays, oxbow lakes, swamps and magnificent Djerdap Gorge, the narrowest part of which is often called the "iron gate". The Djerdap Gorge consists of four gorges and three basins. In some places, sheer cliffs rise 300 meters above the waters of the Danube. Here the river abounds with numerous pools up to 90 meters deep. On the territory of the Djerdap gorge lies the eponymous national park, the pride of which are numerous relict plants that have long disappeared in larger territory Europe.

Serbian embroidery and products made from the finest lace are very popular among tourists. A tastefully made “pot-bellied” bottle of strong brandy will also be a wonderful gift brought from Serbia.

Transport

Thanks to its geographical location, Serbia has become the shortest transport corridor between the countries of Western Europe and the Middle East, Africa and Central Europe.

Air transport links in Serbia are provided by 4 airports (near the cities of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Uzice and Nis), of which only the capital airport is international.

Of great importance for the country's economy is river transport. The Danube and Sava rivers are navigable. The largest river ports are in cities such as Belgrade, Novi Sad, Smederevo, Pancevo and Sabac. Tourists are offered most interesting excursions By largest rivers flowing through the territory of Serbia, on ships departing from the Belgrade river port on the Sava River.

Net highways The country is well developed and the quality of the surface is also quite good (except in mountainous areas), despite the fact that during recent military operations the roads were severely damaged.

In all populated areas, including Belgrade, it is almost impossible to find a trash can, so local residents are accustomed to throwing garbage under their feet, as well as from the windows of moving vehicles, including cars and trains. This behavior has led to the fact that the outskirts of many cities have turned into garbage dumps where hungry wild and stray animals can scour for food.

When traveling through the mountainous regions of the country, you should be extremely careful, as landslides caused by heavy rainfall are common here. In many places, the protective mesh protecting roads from falling stones is damaged and does not fulfill its function.

Business climate

The development of a business climate attractive to investors is negatively impacted by the presence of a huge bureaucratic apparatus and, accordingly, the excessive duration of administrative procedures.

The process of purchasing real estate in Serbia is quite lengthy and takes from 2 to 6 months.

Small cottages in the countryside, in the mountains, on the banks of rivers and lakes cost from 25,000 to 85,000 €. Cost 1 square meter in the capital it is 1,000-1,800 €, in large cities - 600-800 €.

In Serbia, there is a list of places that cannot be photographed for reasons of national security. Such facilities include ports, bridges, power plants and military installations.

Tap water in Serbia is not suitable for drinking; it is either highly chlorinated or contaminated due to the severe deterioration of the country's water supply system. To avoid intestinal disorders, it is better to drink bottled water.

Traditional 95-octane gasoline in Serbia is designated as " 95 bezolovni", 92nd - “95”.

Here is just a small fraction of all the attractions of Serbia, which are simply impossible to ignore.

Village of Kusturica - Drvengrad or Kustendorf

Emir Kusturica loves to show Serbia in his paintings. In his depiction, this is a phantasmagoric country, full of surrealism and special flavor. Moreover, it is worth a look at the village of Mechavniki or Drvengrad or Kustendorf, all these are names of the same place, which were specially built for the film “Life is a Miracle”. After passing the ancient wooden gates, you find yourself in a real medieval village. It has its own temple and art gallery, and vintage cars stand near the restored wooden houses.

Djerdap National Park

When Mother Nature gave each country a portion of natural wonders, Serbia received the most picturesque corner in the Balkans - the Djerdap Gorge. There is the great Danube, raising millions of splashes, the river flows among the tall rocks.

Royal chic of Serbia

There are plenty of palaces in Serbia - for every taste and size. So it’s quite possible to arrange a palace tour, choosing exclusively the royal chambers to visit. Among the most beautiful, we note the following.

Royal and White Palaces in Belgrade– residence of the young royal family.

These are monuments from the beginning of the last century, the facade and interior of which are strikingly reminiscent of the chambers of the Moscow Kremlin. It must be because the architect N. Krasnov, who planned this splendor, was Russian.

Bishop's Palace in Novi Sad– one of the most beautiful castles in Serbia.

The palace was erected in 1901. Arched window openings, a tall spire and luxurious decoration of the rooms - shining example combinations of East and West.

Reichl Palace in Subotica- not royal chambers, but a wonderful object in the Art Nouveau style. They say that the architect F. Reichl was so carried away by the decoration of his palace that he went bankrupt and sold the palace. But the painted facade and carved balconies of the palace are one of the most recognizable views of Subotica.

Devil's City

Serbia is rich in mysticism. What is the Devil's City alone worth! This is an unusual cluster of earthen pillars, whose outlines surprisingly resemble frozen people in hats. The place is located in the vicinity of Kuršumlija. To get your adrenaline pumping, you can choose a night excursion to the Devil's City. The impressions will last for a long time.

Tower of Skulls

Another gloomy place is located in the vicinity of Nis. This is Chele-Kula, famous Tower skulls - an ominous reminder of the centuries-old confrontation between Serbs and Turks. At the beginning XIX century Serbian commander Stefan Sindjelic fought bravely here. But his army was defeated by the Turks. The Turks built the walls of the tower from the skulls of the defenders. If you are in Nis, don’t miss the excursion to Chele-Kulu.

Memorial Cerveni Krst

This memorial is the pain of Serbia, a dark echo of the noisy war. Cerveni Krst – the first concentration camp in the territory former Yugoslavia. The old barracks still preserve the memory of the tears and groans of the prisoners, and the watchtowers still look gloomily at the world. Snapshots, photographs and personal belongings of former prisoners have been preserved. The memorial is open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday.

Temple of Saint Sava– one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.

The Church of St. Sava shares the title of the largest operating Orthodox church in the world with the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Construction began on it back in the century before last, but finishing work is still underway. One of the premises of the temple is open to visitors, and even the unfinished interior is simply amazing.

Most excursions in Belgrade start from here. Kalemegdan- the main historical monument of the Serbian capital.

The ancient gates, the sliding bridge, erected in the Middle Ages, and the towers themselves have been preserved. One of them has an observation deck, from where you can see the confluence of two rivers – the Dunava and Sava. You can look at this endlessly. On Balkanza.ru you can also see photos of Kalemegdan illuminated at night.

Skadarlija– a bohemian place in Belgrade. Somewhat reminiscent of Montmartre in Paris.

Skadarlija is a pedestrian area, entirely built up with restaurants, taverns and pubs, art galleries and antique shops. It’s worth visiting here in the evening, when numerous lights are lit and street musicians begin their concerts.

While in Belgrade, you should definitely get to Zemun.
