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.
I spent an unforgettable afternoon driving from Paphos to Larnaca, stopping at Paphos Castle, Aphrodite’s Beach, Kolossi Castle, Lemesos Castle, and Larnaka Medieval Fort. The combination of dramatic coastlines, historic sites, and charming streets gave a perfect introduction to southern Cyprus before I reached my hotel in the evening.
I don’t know about you, but I was always obsessed with fairytale castles. Whenever I’m visiting a new destination I always look for castles as there is just something magical about them! Anywhere I travel, I seek out castles to have a look at. I’m not sure I can pinpoint the moment it started but I have always been fascinated by them.
It was never actually my aim to combine the two, much less to specifically visit Luxembourg for either of these! It was in fact by sheer coincidence that I happened to book a few days here just a couple of weeks before Christmas.
