Serbia
Basic informations
Situated at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, Serbia is a combination of ancient cultures and civilizations with a charming mix of traditional and modern ways. Leaving behind its rough history, Serbia is a dynamic country which desires to adopt the contemporary values of Europe. When visiting, Serbia will have you won over by its culture, natural beauty, and warmhearted Slavic hospitality. Travelers will be hosted by an amazing diversity of habitats including plains, wetlands, and mountains. Those thrilled by nature may enjoy the springs, rivers, lakes, geysers, and the plenty of woods to explore. Serbia also boasts the largest sandy desert called Deliblato Sand and the only jungle in Europe, found in Perucac.
The most exciting spot is undoubtedly its capital, Belgrade, a gritty, energetic city. Vojvodina’s flat plains and the tranquil Fruška Gora monasteries provide an effective antidote to urban chaos, while Novi Sad is home to the world-famous Exit music festival. Proud and traditional Southern Serbia is a land of lush rolling hills and wooded valleys brushing up against rugged mountains. The medieval monasteries of Manasija, Sopoćani, and Studenica remain the keepers of Serbian faith and Byzantine art, while the mountains of Zlatibor and Kopaonik provide snow fun in winter and glorious hiking in summer. Mosques mix with monasteries in Novi Pazar, where life in the Turkish quarter continues much as it did a century ago when the Turks were still in power.
