Crazy Serbian Souvenirs You Need To Take Home

Serbia is a country located on the Balkan peninsula. Untouched nature, food, and people who are always ready to party are the main characteristics of this place. If you ever decide to explore it, these are the souvenirs you must take home.

A Jar Of Ajvar

Serbs love ajvar, which is considered one of their traditional specialties. It is a relish made of red bell peppers, sometimes eggplants, garlic and chili pepper. So, a jar of home-made ajvar would be a great souvenir to take home.

A Bottle Of Rakija

Rakija is a traditional Serbian alcoholic beverage made of plums. But instead of bringing home a huge bottle, take čokanjčići, the tiny version. They are both cute and unique, and you also won’t have any problem with customs.

A 500 Billion Dinar Note

In the early 90s, more precisely in 1993, Serbia — then Yugoslavia — was hit by hyperinflation, which is considered one of the worst in history. It was so bad that the government decided to print a 500 billion (500,000,000,000) dinar note. Today, you can find them in some souvenir shops, or you can go to the National Bank Museum and get your own face printed on one.
