Here are the top things to do on a Serbia holiday, as chosen by our Europe specialists.
Explore palaces in Belgrade
The Royal and White Palaces in Belgrade are the former residences of the imperial family. Commissioned by King Alexander I in the 1930s, these palaces contain various artefacts and paintings belonging to the royal family.
See Ottoman sights
Visit the Ottoman sights of Nis, one of the oldest cities in Europe and Serbia's third largest city. See the 18th-century Fortress of Nis, the Skull Tower (Cele Kula), a monument to the Serbian revolutionaries killed during the Battle of Cegar, and the remains of Mediana, an imperial villa from the late Roman period located on the road leading to Sofia near EI Nis.
Discover the Kalemegdan Fortress
The Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, which dates back to the 17th century, has a long history – the citadel has been destroyed over 40 times. Today it contains a military museum and extensive parkland overlooking both the Danube and Sava rivers.
Visit the Petrovaradin Fortress
The Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad is regarded as one of the greatest and best preserved 18th-century fortresses of its kind, with recent excavations providing evidence of habitation dating back to the Palaeolithic period.
