Travel with me around Europe and beyond!
A short drive from Belgrade led me to Smederevo, a quiet town on the Danube that offered a completely different pace of travel. With its vast medieval fortress, peaceful churches, and understated atmosphere, it was not a place filled with attractions, but one that revealed its charm slowly, through simplicity and authenticity.
Sremski Karlovci was a short but memorable stop after exploring Novi Sad. With its elegant square, historic landmarks, and peaceful atmosphere, it offered a quieter side of Serbia. A visit to nearby Krušedol Monastery added a final layer of calm before returning to Belgrade.
Novi Sad turned out to be one of the most elegant and easygoing cities I visited in Serbia. With its colourful streets, relaxed atmosphere, and riverside setting, it offered a refreshing contrast to Belgrade. After a few hours exploring its main sights, I continued to the charming town of Sremski Karlovci, adding a quieter and more intimate layer to an already memorable day.
I spent five days discovering Belgrade, wandering from the lively streets of Republic Square to the calm riverbanks of the Sava, exploring historic fortresses, cultural landmarks, and local markets. The city’s mix of history, modernity, and approachable charm made every walk and meal a memorable experience.
This trip was never meant to happen. After my flights to Jordan were cancelled, I found myself heading to Belgrade with no real expectations. What followed was a journey through lively streets, quiet monasteries, and some of the most striking landscapes in Serbia.
Southern Serbia, often overlooked on the typical Balkan trail, is a land of deep scars and soaring landscapes. From ancient rebellions to the shadows of World War II, from hidden gorges to healing spas, this region delivers raw emotion, striking beauty, and heartfelt hospitality. Whether you’re a history buff, adventurer, or wellness seeker, the south of Serbia offers a travel experience both profound and personal.
Niš, one of Serbia’s oldest cities, blends history and modern life. Known as the birthplace of Constantine the Great, it features Roman ruins, Ottoman architecture, and a lively cultural scene. The Niš Fortress and Skull Tower are iconic landmarks. Today, it’s a vibrant center of education, industry, and music festivals.
