Attractions in Serbia


 

Wild mountain landscapes in the south of the country

In the southwest of the country, on the border with the neighboring countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Kosovo, Serbia has a share of the Dinaric Mountains, which stretch across the entire Balkans. Deep gorges and river valleys between the peaks give the mountains their characteristic appearance. A perfect terrain for climbing, hiking and mountain biking. In winter, the region turns into a skiing paradise.

The Balkan Mountains, home to the country's highest peaks

You can also find wide mountain landscapes in the Balkan Mountains (Serbian: Stara Planina). Located in the southeast of Serbia on the border with Bulgaria, it is the longest mountain range of the country and impresses with the highest mountains and numerous waterfalls and gorges. The highest peak, Midžor, at 2,169 m, is the highest elevation in Serbia and a popular destination for mountaineers, paragliders and mountain bikers. The alpine climate ensures cold and snowy winters with optimal conditions for winter sports enthusiasts. 

Impressive rock faces in Europe's largest canyon

The Derdap National Park is an impressive natural spectacle: The canyon stretches for over 100 kilometers along the Danube, which here forms the border with neighboring Romania. The Iron Gate marks the beginning of the gorge, here the Danube breaks through into the Serbian plain and shows its wild side. Along the national park there are several lookout points, from which you can enjoy an impressive view of the Danube or observe the numerous wild birds. The Golubac Fortress at the entrance of the gorge is an impressive monument from the past.

Nature at it's wildest, above and below the ground

Numerous myths and legends surround Davolja Varos, which is popularly known as the Devil's City. The 202 steeply rising rock pyramids are up to 15 meters high and exude a very special atmosphere. In the immediate vicinity are two springs with high mineral content, Davolja Voda and Crveno Vrelo.

Serbia also has numerous treasures hidden under the ground. One of the most famous caves is Bogovinska Caves. Countless cave figures and stalactites are waiting for you here and you can marvel at the extraordinary fauna with rare species of insects. No less worth seeing are the caves of Ceremošnja and Ravništarka.

Belgrad - economic and culture heart of the country

By far the largest city in the country is Belgrade in the center of Serbia. The city is characterized by its location on the Sava and Danube rivers and, as a gateway between East and West, is a melting pot of cultures.

Buildings worth seeing are the Belgrade Fortress in Kalemegdan Park and the Cathedral of St. Sava, one of the largest houses of worship of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Futuristic-looking is the Ada Bridge over the Sava River, which flows into the Danube in Belgrade.

Want to immerse yourself in Belgrade's nightlife? Then you are right in the Sava Mala district, an old part of the city with a well-known club scene.
