a land of surprising contrasts

Serbia Holidays – Our holidays to Serbia include hotels in the city of Belgrade, the resort of Novi Sad and the mountain ski resort of Kopaonik

Serbia shares its borders with Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania to the West, Hungary and Romania to the North, Bulgaria to the East and Macedonia to the South.

Since ancient times travellers have left written records in which they describe Serbia as a land of bewildering contrasts and wonderful beauty that awaken the imagination and passions of all who set foot in its territory.

Many of Serbia’s finest attractions can be found overlooking the banks of the Danube which flows through the heart of the country - Belgrade, Novi Sad, the medieval fortresses of Smederovo and Golubac and the Trayan’s tabula marking the spot where the Roman Emperor crossed the Danube.

Today those ‘in the know’ describe Serbia as the tourist destination of the future and one that offers tourists a truly warm and hospitable welcome. Given the turbulent history of recent events, Serbia is now very much on the up and tourists can be guaranteed an exceptional destination at incredibly good value.

Belgrade

The capital city of Belgrade is the jewel in Serbia’s crown. The tree-lined avenues, cobbled streets, busy cafés, trendy shops and open squares are teeming with hip, proud and stylish people who are once again looking forward to greeting the throngs of tourists who are now descending upon this city for its beauty, history and charm.

Visit the Republic Square with its dozens of street cafés or for those in need of some retail therapy head for the pedestrianised Knez Mihailova Street where there are endless luxury shops, some of which may be familiar to you.
For history and culture there is an abundance of theatres, museums, art galleries and parks displaying busts of great leaders, poets and painters.
No visit to Belgrade would be complete without an evening wandering the cobbled streets of the nineteenth century Skadarlija bohemian quarter. These beautiful streets are full of colour with tempting restaurants offering live traditional music.
After dark the city comes alive particularly along a street affectionately known locally as Silicone Valley. Drink is cheap and the endless streets of cafés, bars and clubs are full with happy, fun- loving people who know how to have a good time.

Novi Sad

Stretching along the banks of the Danube, Novi Sad is the elegant capital of Vojvodina. Also known as ‘Gibraltar on the Danube’, Novi Sad flourishes in education, culture, museums, galleries, libraries and theatres.
Its architectural jewel is the Petrovaradin fortress perched high above the Danube. It hosts museums and art galleries as well as ‘Exit’, the largest music festival in southeast Europe.

Kopaonik

The mountain of Kopaonik is nicknamed the ‘roof of Serbia’ and is the highest peak in Serbia and the country’s top ski resort of European repute.
In winter, skiing and snowboarding in Kopaonik will suit all skiers from the beginner to the most experienced. Most of the hotels have easy access to the slopes and chairlifts, which means skiers do not have to venture too far to get started. There are 21 ski runs and good snow from as early as December to the end of April.

The small town of Kopaonik has a lively atmosphere in winter with its many restaurants, bars, nightclubs, casino and shops.
