Serbia travel guide

Serbia is emerging as one of Southern Europe’s newest and most popular tourist destinations. Despite its recent history, the country has an amazing variety of historical and cultural attractions, this on top its stunning natural beauty

Serbia’s capital city Belgrade is undoubtedly the country’s highlight, with many coming to reveal in its renowned party scene and fabulous restaurant culture.

But outside the capital the country is steeped a rich and varied history, with attractions ranging from the pre-historic ruins at Lepenski Vir to the medieval monasteries of Manasija and Studenica.The baroque splendour of the Petrovardin Fortress in Novi Sad, also known as the ‘Gibraltar of the Danube’ is a must see.

Serbia’s starling natural beauty is evident in its five national parks. Exploring the wild woodlands, rugged mountains and rapid rivers can easily be done from the seat of your car if you’re not inclined to hiking or rafting. Views of the soaring cliffs of Kazan and the massive Drina River Gorge are not to be missed

 

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Belgrade is a notorious party town, so if you’re looking to live it up, head to the capital city for it’s excellent restaurants, music and nightlife.
  2. Visit the pretty café lined streets of Novi Sad, host to Serbia’s biggest music festival each July. The town also boasts the impressive baroque Petrovardin Citadel.
  3. Explore the historical sites of Derdap National Park, featuring pre-historic remains at Lepenski Vir and the impressive Derdap Gorge.
  4. Discover Serbia’s stunning monasteries, the most impressive of which are the hidden gems of Studenica, Decani and Gracanica.
  5. Tour some of the old Hungarian towns in Vojvodina, including Subotica and Sombor and marvel at their ornate secessionist architecture.
  6. Hike amongst the forested hills of Zlatibor and Kopaonik national parks, taking in the picturesque views of valleys, rivers and streams

Wanderlust tips


It goes without saying that any discussion of politics can invite hostilities, especially if talking about Kosovo. Beware of taking photographs of military installations and taking photos of obvious war damage does not go down well either.
