Tourism in Serbia


Tourism in Serbia is a relitavely small sector of the total PPP of the nation. However, Serbia arguably has some of the most beautiful and pristine natural and man made wonders of the world. Serbia has an abundance of mountains including the Balkan Mountains and the Carpathian Mountain chain. They add to Serbia's natural beauty. The winter tourism in Serbia is unlike any other. Kopaonik, one of the countries most famous resorts offers unparalled ski and relaxation services. Zlatibor is the country's best relaxation and sports resort. Also, the Brezovica resort resmbles the Alps in many ways.The country is dotted with lakes and covered in majestic rivers. Notably, the River Sava and the River Danube. The Danube flows right through the glorious capital at Belgrade under a spectacular medival fortress named Kalimegdan. The Sava Rivier is a large river that spans approximately 900 km and joins with the Danube at Belgrade. The plains of Vojvodina pose a stark contrast to the rest of Serbia with rolling hills and fragrant orchards and meadows. The game in Serbia is particularly good as it is perfect for hunting.

The cities in Serbia are also a wonderful site. Belgrade, the heart and "soul" of Serbia has spectacular fortresses, monuments, and churches. Kalimegdan is a magnificent fortress which withstood the Seige if Belgrade. The recently completed St. Sava Orthodox Church is a symbol of the religious importance in Serbia. The Night life in Belgrade is also particularly excellent. Cafes are most active during the night with people flooding city center cafes to sit and have a Sinalco under the moonlight. Novi Sad, Nis, Kragujevac and other Serbian cities also have a host of history and delight to offer as well.
