Serbia completely surprised me. The landscape, the nature and its people will definitely let me come back and explore more. My favorite spot was the Danube river. Such a stunning scenery!
I've been to Serbia twice and hope to visit again; lots to do ranging from outdoor experiences to urban adventures and a big fan of the food and friendly people I've met on my travels.
A land of varied landscapes, it is Serbia’s natural treasures untouched by controversy that give it a new lease of life, as well as hope for the local people to show off a beautiful side to the country that we rarely, if at all, hear about.
Serbia has so much to offer! When I came first time to Serbia I was amazed by unspoiled nature, local hospitality or really delicious food. Although I travel a lot I have never felt this kind of authenticity in other country.
I have no doubt that Serbia will become very popular soon. I would say it is the best-kept European secret. Not many people know about Serbia’s beauty but those who visited this country once, they will come back again. I am good example.
Serbia is one of the most authentic countries I have ever seen! All the awe-inspiring landscapes mixed together with rich history, amazing food and incredibly hospitable people makes it a destination that should not be missed by anyone looking for a deep travel experience. Come to spend summer in Serbia and get ready to surprise yourself and fall in love!
Last summer I decided to explore this hidden side of Serbia that is rarely visited by tourists. I went with little or no expectation and came away surprised and enriched by a rich range of experiences. It will completely change your opinion and make you visit this beautiful country again!
This city will live forever! What else can you say about a place that was torn down more than 40 times in its long history and yet, still proudly shines in all its beauty! Welcome to the capital of cheerful people, smiley faces and modern life!
