About Serbia

Serbia sits in the central Balkans, a landlocked country of river plains, low mountains and towns with Ottoman, Habsburg and Orthodox layers. Belgrade anchors nightlife and history on its two rivers, Novi Sad and its fortress host a summer festival, and the monasteries of Fruska Gora and Studenica hold medieval art. Late spring and early autumn suit cities and walking best; summers are hot, winters cold and snowy, and mountain resorts fill when the snow arrives.

Serbia has five UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Roman Felix Romuliana and the medieval Studenica monastery.
Belgrade sits where the Sava meets the Danube, and its Kalemegdan fortress has been contested for two millennia.
