Serbia Tours & Travel Guide
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 (the capital, Belgrade, is known for its nightlife), ancient villages, archaeological sites, and welcoming people, who love to eat, drink and enjoy themselves.
Serbia is a destination full of many different kinds of experiences. No matter what kind of traveler you are or what your preferred travel style is, Serbia has something for you. Below are some of the most popular activities to participate in while visiting the country.
Cycling: There are many great destinations for travelers wanting a good bike ride. Ride by the water, through town and in the countryside.
Boating: With the Danube going through Serbia, boating is a great activity for travelers. See cities and nature all from the water.
Sightseeing: Serbia is full of museums, monuments, art galleries and castles. This is great for travelers who enjoy immersing themselves in these sites and learning more about the history and culture of Serbia.
Photography: Bringing a camera with you to Serbia is a must. From nature to cities to stunning river views, Serbia presents many great opportunities for the perfect picture.
Wildlife viewing: Whether you immerse yourself in national parks or take a trip to the zoo, there are many ways to view wildlife. Serbia has beautiful creatures that are definitely worth seeking out.
Serbian cuisine is influenced by many surrounding regions and is full of meat heavy dishes. Below are some of the best dishes you should definitely try while visiting Serbia.
Pljeskavica: Known as the ‘Serbian hamburger’, Pljeskavica, is a type of grilled meat. While compared to a western hamburger, Pljeskavica is bigger and known to be better. It is stuffed with cheese and definitely worth a try if you’re craving a big meal.
Riblja corba: A spicy soup, this dish is full of river fish. However, it is best to note this isn’t for those with a low tolerance for spicy foods. It’s one of the hottest dishes in the entire country!
Sarma: This dish is made up of sour cabbage leaves filled with minced meat. This is an iconic Serbian dish and a must try for anyone visiting the country.
Cevapi: Another iconic dish, Cevapi is finger-sized minced meat. It is often served with chopped onions.
Gibanica: Best described as a cheese pie, Gibanica is eaten as a snack or for dinner and even for breakfast. It’s something great that you could find to eat in Serbia at any time.
Belgrade is the vibrant capital of Serbia and offers many different experiences for travelers. For the culture and history buff, don’t miss out on visiting the Belgrade Fortress. Here the entire city used to lie inside the fortress which means there’s history at every turn.
If you’re looking for some time in the sun, make sure to visit Ada Ciganlija. This island turned peninsula is full of nature with elm and oak forests as well as beautiful pebble beaches. Here travelers can take part in many active experiences from walking to kayaking to playing golf.
To immerse yourself in local culture visit Republic Square which has many landmarks and businesses. It’s a very lively place with theaters, museums and monuments.
There are endless experiences in Belgrade. Travelers should definitely dedicate more than one day to this destination as it’s so rich with culture, history and nature.
