Things to Do in Serbia
Serbia is a country rich in history, natural beauty, and vibrant culture, offering visitors a wide range of activities to enjoy. Whether you're exploring the dynamic capital of Belgrade, venturing into the lush mountains of Tara National Park, or discovering the charming towns along the Danube River, Serbia is a destination that captivates travelers with its diverse experiences.
A visit to Belgrade, the country’s lively capital, is a must. The city is known for its fascinating history, energetic nightlife, and picturesque riverside scenery. The Kalemegdan Fortress, perched above the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, offers breathtaking views and a glimpse into Serbia’s past. Stroll through Skadarlija, the city’s bohemian quarter, where cobblestone streets are lined with charming cafes, traditional restaurants, and live folk music. For museum lovers, the Nikola Tesla Museum showcases the work of the famous scientist, while the Museum of Yugoslavia provides insight into the country's 20th-century history.
For those seeking adventure in nature, Tara National Park is one of Serbia’s most breathtaking destinations. Located in western Serbia, the park is home to dense forests, winding rivers, and the famous Banjska Stena viewpoint, which offers spectacular panoramic views of the Drina River Canyon. The park is ideal for hiking, wildlife spotting, and photography. Nearby, the Drvengrad Wooden Village, built by renowned filmmaker Emir Kusturica, is a charming cultural site showcasing traditional Serbian architecture.
History enthusiasts will be drawn to Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, located on the banks of the Danube River. The city is famous for the Petrovaradin Fortress, a massive 18th-century stronghold that offers stunning views and hosts the globally renowned EXIT Festival each summer. Novi Sad’s relaxed atmosphere, beautiful baroque-style architecture, and rich cultural scene make it a great destination for a peaceful getaway. Just a short drive away, Fruška Gora National Park is home to scenic hiking trails and over a dozen medieval monasteries, perfect for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
In the south, Niš is a fascinating city with deep historical significance. One of Europe’s oldest cities, Niš was an important Roman settlement and is the birthplace of Emperor Constantine the Great. Visitors can explore the Niš Fortress, the chilling Skull Tower, built by the Ottomans, and the Red Cross Concentration Camp, a sobering reminder of Serbia’s role in World War II.
Serbia is also known for its thermal spas and wellness retreats, particularly in towns like Vrnjačka Banja and Sokobanja, where natural mineral springs have been attracting visitors for centuries. These towns offer relaxation and rejuvenation in a tranquil setting.
No visit to Serbia would be complete without sampling its delicious cuisine. Serbian food is a flavorful mix of Balkan, Ottoman, and Central European influences. Travelers should try ćevapi (grilled minced meat sausages), pljeskavica (a Serbian-style burger), and sarma (cabbage rolls filled with minced meat and rice). Dining in a traditional kafana (Serbian tavern) is a cultural experience in itself, where live folk music and warm hospitality make every meal memorable.
Driving through Serbia allows visitors to explore the country at their own pace, taking scenic roads through rolling hills, vineyard-covered landscapes, and charming villages. Whether you're wandering through medieval fortresses, discovering vibrant city life, or embracing the great outdoors, Serbia offers an unforgettable travel experience.
