Serbia

Serbia brings together fortress-topped river confluences, vineyard valleys, and lively café quarters. Explore Belgrade’s Kalemegdan and Knez Mihailova, the monasteries and villages of Fruška Gora and Šumadija, and the dramatic gorges along the Danube.

With four distinct seasons, spring and autumn suit easy city wandering and nature days, while summer energises river promenades and festivals. Mountain parks and reserves reward hikers with quiet trails and far-reaching views.
