Choose a region

Serbia is compact enough to cross in a day yet varied enough to fill a month. Start with Belgrade for nightlife, fortresses, and museums. Head north into Vojvodina for Habsburg towns and wine country. Drift south into Šumadija for spa towns and rakija stills. Follow the Danube east into Eastern Serbia for gorges and Roman archaeology. Climb west into Western Serbia for mountain villages and pine forest. Stop in Niš to walk Roman ruins and eat the country's best grilled meat.
