SERBIA/BELGRADE Serbia is situated in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula, at the vital crossroads between the Western Europe and the Middle East – a geopolitical hotspot. Disproportionately to its size and influence, Serbia often found itself in focus of the global and European attention throughout its remarkable and eventful history, which has left many historical landmarks and memorials worth seeing in our modest country. The most notable part of Serbia’s cultural and historic heritage are the medieval Serbian monasteries and churches, in which we are endlessly proud today (some are included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites). If you wish to greet Serbian people, you can either shake hands with them or kiss their cheek three times! Serbia is a small country with beautiful and unexplored nature, which has balmy effect on the soul distraught by the hasty pace of modern life, whereas, on the other hand, it does not lag behind the contemporary trends of the world. The country’s capital city, Belgrade, is the most evident indicator of this. Belgrade is the capital city of Serbia. Many people still remember it from the times of the former Yugoslavia, as the hub of high-profile events in the Balkans, which has remained unchanged to the present day. With a population of about 1.6 million, it sits at the captivating confluence of the rivers Sava and the Danube. The city’s most prominent landmark is the Kalemegdan Fortress, overlooking the confluence. Belgrade has a reputation of a lively, never-sleeping city, famed for its nightlife and sociable inhabitants, as well as for countless restaurants and cafés throughout the city, offering different programmes every day. Belgrade is definitely becoming Europe’s new recognizable tourist destination, rapidly climbing the ladder of popularity day after day.

The town is well-known for the historic 500-year-old stone bridge on the Drina – the Mehmed Pasha Sokolović Bridge. The old Visegrad town lies next to the bridge. Located 300m from the bridge, on a strip of land between the rivers Drina and Rzav, there is a small, cultural complex for tourists – Andricgrad. The complex is dedicated to Yugoslav novelist and Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andric, who popularised the Mehmed Pasha Sokolović Bridge in his novel The Bridge on the Drina.

The coastal area around Budva, known as the Budva Riviera, is the centre of Montenegrin tourism, well-known for its sandy beaches and diverse nightlife.
