Find a cheap flight to Belgrade

The layers of history ring out in Belgrade's architecture. With impressive views over the Danube and Sava rivers, Belgrade's Kalemegdan Fortress houses several city museums, galleries, memorials, the planetarium, and zoo, as well as smart cafés, restaurants and paths filled with locals and tourists seeking tranquility in the city. The sidewalks of cafes are favorite gathering spots and are full in summer. The National Museum and National Theater (home to the city's major opera, ballet, orchestra and theater performances) are at Trg Republike (Republic Square), the center of historical revolution and protest. Visit the artist's quarter of Skardarlija and its cobbled Skadarska street, where you can find classic taverns serving traditional Serbian dishes as musicians play from table to table. See inside the world's largest Orthodox church, St. Sava. In the Vracar district is the Mausoleum of Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslavia's former president-for-life. Across the Sava River lies the Usce park, a spacious green space that holds the city's tallest building and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Serbia has amazing nature and cities steeped in history framed with cutting edge modernity. Some places to go are Palic with its baroque parks and art nouveau architecture. In Staro Selo, just south of Velika Plana, is an all wooden 19th century church built to be dismantled and moved in case of attack. Zlatibor and Kopaonik National Park have ski-resorts. Petrovaradin Fortress is one of the greatest and well preserved 17th century European fortresses. A famous spa place in Serbia is Sokobanja with its moderate continental climate and great expanses of woods, fresh air and thermo-mineral sources.
