Travel Serbia Guide

Crossed by the Danube River, dotted by plum orchards and divided by wild-flower covered mountains, Serbia is one of Europe's long-forgotten beauties. Serbia is a land of rich culture, deep religion, and wild nature. Visitors to Serbia can enjoy monasteries which have sat at the foot of mountains for hundreds of years, waterfalls, natural hot springs, local wine and friendly people.


Serbia has a small population and a relatively large amount of land. Much of Serbia's un-occupied land sits inside of protected natural parks. Serbia's parks are home to pre-historic flora, waterfalls, caves and a wild beauty that is characteristic of this uncharted land. Those who visit the Serbian wild lands may find themselves cutting their own trails in the undiscovered beauty of the Serbian countryside.


Serbia's mountains are easily accessible and make for a perfect holiday destination in any season. Serbia's ski season is long and the snow is always fresh. Mt. Tara and Mt. Kopaonik are both gorgeous spots in the summer and winter, with an abundance of greenery year round. Mt. Brezovika, though, is Serbia's best skiing spot, with an altitude of over 2,000 meters and ample hunting in the off season.

Serbia has long been a popular tourist destination for those who wish to regain their health in one of the country's many spas. The thermal springs, clean mountain air and mild weather all make Serbia the ideal location for health spas. The most famous of Serbia's spas is Vrnjacka Banja, which has been in operation for over 120 years. This spa is home to several natural springs, the waters of which are believed to be curative. The spa itself is situated in an important archaeological area with monuments dating back to the 1300’s.

Serbia has a wealth of fascinating archaeological sites, and is even home to the world's oldest human settlement of Lepenski Vir, which is 7,000 years old. In addition to the ancient monuments of Lepenski Vir, Serbia is home to many Roman and Byzantine monuments including the Belgrade Fortress and the Tabula Trajana. The Serbian countryside is home to many ancient monasteries, all but untouched by tourism.

The natural splendor, ancient history and intriguing culture of Serbia all make it worth seeing and discovering. Hidden from the world by rulers and war for decades, it is time to open up Serbia to the world and expose it for what it is; a treasure of modern Europe.
