Best Things to Do in Serbia

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Serbia

Serbia, formerly part of now-defunct Yugoslavia, is a Balkan land of mountains, minarets, medieval monasteries, museums, and manor houses. For variety, toss in fortresses, ski resorts, old but now-modern cities, ancient villages, archaeological sites, a famous party scene, and extremely welcoming people. While most world travelers don't necessarily consider Serbia a hot spot destination, this hidden gem is nothing to balk at- and definitely worth adding to the list.

Perhaps an extra day in Montenegro would help to be able to rest from very long bus rides. Otherwise all is very good.
