Serbia

Lying on the fault line between the great historical empires of the east and west, Serbia is a complex synthesis of cultures. Traditionally viewed as the big bad brother of the West Balkans, Serbia is beginning to shrug off this mantle and establish itself as a vibrant and archaeologically mesmerising holiday destination for the more curious traveller.

Despite being a relatively small nation of around 7.5 million people, Serbia has long had an important role to play, acting as a crossroads in Eurasian trade and military ambitions. This means also that Serbia now boasts a plethora of culturally-rich sites to visit, all set against the backdrop of some of the most spectacular and accessible scenery in Europe.

Whilst Serbia may not be high on travellers’ lists as a European country that merits a visit, it is somewhat of a hidden gem landlocked in the continent and has much to offer those who decide to take a leap and endeavour to the best Serbia destinations throughout its stunning natural landscapes and historic settlements.
