Most people visiting Belgrade are there to explore its rich history, cultural scene, and bustling nightlife, but its natural beauty shouldn’t be overlooked. The capital of Serbia is home to more parks than we can count and here are three that you shouldn’t miss for the world during your visit.

Kalemegdan Park

Belgrade Fortress is the No. 1 attraction in this city and it’s located on the grounds of the city’s most popular park. In addition to the historic forest, you’ll stumble upon everything from a zoo, monuments, and cafés to recreational areas and walking paths with amazing views.

Tasmajdan Park

This park shares its name with the nearby Tasmajdan Sports and Recreation Center and it’s a perfect place to take a break while exploring some of Belgrade’s top attractions. It’s located close to many of the city’s hotspots including St. Mark Orthodox Church, Nikola Tesla Museum, and the National Assembly.

Karadjordje’s Park

Karadjordje’s Park is pretty tiny when compared to other more popular parks in the Serbian capital, but there’s a reason why it made the cut. It’s located right next to the Temple of Saint Sava, one of the symbols of modern Belgrade, and the monument to the iconic Serbian revolutionary Karadjordje can be found on its grounds.

Belgrade has a lot to offer to travelers from all walks of life, including architecture lovers. From historic forts to modern buildings, the architectural richness of the Serbian capital is pretty diverse, but some of its most beautiful buildings happen to be churches—especially these three.

Saint Sava Temple

Named after the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Saint Sava Temple is one of the symbols of Belgrade despite the fact it’s only been around since 2004. Inspired by Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, this is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox churches in the entire world.

St. Mark’s Church

Completed in 1940, this Serb-Byzantine church is impossible to miss thanks to its close proximity to the Parliament of Serbia. Its imposing bell tower and red brick walls transformed it into one of the city’s most recognizable attractions of its kind.

Ruzica Church

Belgrade Fortress is home to many stunning attractions, and this church is one of its best-hidden secrets. It’s one of Belgrade’s most Instagram-friendly spots thanks to its ivy-covered façade, but you’ll also be wowed if you step inside thanks to its chandeliers made of weapons.

If you can’t resist the beauty of European cities located on the shores of the Danube, Novi Sad deserves a spot on your bucket list. Due to its riverfront location, this Serbian city is home to several amazing bridges that you should explore during your visit.

Liberty Bridge

One of the symbols of Novi Sad, this bridge was destroyed during the NATO bombing in 1999, but it was restored and reopened in 2005. To get the best views of this cable-stayed bridge, head to the public beach Strand or cross the bridge to have a chill picnic at Kamenicki Park.

Zezelj Bridge

This tied-arch bridge is instantly recognizable thanks to its white color and it’s one of Novi Sad’s most picturesque attractions, but it hasn’t been around for too long. The newly constructed bridge only reopened in 2018, following extensive reconstructions.

Varadin Bridge

Varadin Bridge may not seem like much when compared to other bridges in Novi Sad, but there are a few things that make it special. It’s often referred to as “Rainbow Bridge” because it’s truly stunning to watch it light up at night. It’s also popular due to its connection to the Petrovaradin Fortress and it only takes a few minutes to cross it and reach this landmark.

Serbia is one of Europe’s most underrated countries, but passionate tourists are slowly starting to discover its limitless beauty. Nature lovers will immediately fall in love with this country because it’s home to many amazing hidden gems, and its waterfalls are truly top of the line.

Lisine Waterfall

Lisine, also known as Veliki Buk, was long considered the highest waterfall in Serbia. Due to its huge popularity over the years, it’s much easier to access than the majority of other waterfalls in this country, and there are even many restaurants and walking trails close to it.

Prskalo Waterfall

If you’re in the mood to discover Serbia’s hidden gems that aren’t so easy to access, make sure to check out this stunning waterfall which slowly drips from a 15-meter-high rock formation.

Pilj Waterfall

Located in close proximity to the Bulgarian border, one of Serbia’s highest waterfalls has only been discovered two decades ago, and tourists have been in awe of its natural beauty ever since.

Tupavica Waterfall

Located in the very heart of the Balkan Mountains, this cascading waterfall is pretty small but fierce. It’s truly amazing to watch the water drip over the dark red rocks and green moss and grass before flowing to Dojkinac River.

Nikola Tesla left a remarkable mark on the world of science, and his name is mentioned in almost every technical and science museum around the world. There are even several museums that bear the Serbian-American inventor’s name across the Balkan region, and you should consider visiting these three.

Nikola Tesla Memorial Center – Smiljan, Croatia

This museum is located in the tiny village of Smiljan—Tesla’s birthplace—and it’s one of the best places to explore his work and life. In addition to housing artifacts and photographs from his early years, it also features prototypes of Tesla’s inventions.

Nikola Tesla Museum – Belgrade, Serbia

In addition to being the leading institution dedicated to Tesla’s life and work, this museum also serves as the scientist’s resting place. The interactive exhibition features a short film about Tesla’s life, authentic working models of Tesla’s machines, and his personal items and artifacts.

Nikola Tesla Technical Museum – Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb’s technical museum isn’t solely dedicated to Nikola Tesla, but the replica of his study is one of its main tourist attractions. It also features several other sections, including a planetarium, a beehive exhibit, and models of planes and steam engines.

Most people visiting Serbia only go to Belgrade and call it a day, but this tiny country has many more beautiful cities in store. Subotica is located in the very north, and it’s home to some of the most stunning Art Nouveau buildings you’ll get to see in this corner of Europe.

City Hall

Located in the very heart of Subotica, this red building is one of the city’s most recognizable symbols, together with the beautiful Blue Fountain situated right next to it. It’s also Subotica’s best example of the Hungarian Art Nouveau as this city happens to be located next to the Hungarian border.

Subotica Synagogue

A trip to Subotica is also incomplete without a visit to the city’s Synagogue, one of its most beautiful in this part of Europe. Like the previous building, this one also employs many elements of Hungarian folklore, but its quirky doors with curved bars happen to be one of its most recognizable traits.

Reichel Palace

The former home of the architect Raichle Ferenc is hailed as one of the most beautiful and Instagram-friendly buildings in Subotica. It now serves as a museum of modern art, and it looks truly impressive, both inside and out.

Belgrade probably isn’t the first place you think of when someone mentions immersive museums, but maybe it should be. Several quirky museums opened their doors in the Serbian capital in the last few years, and these three offer an amazing, Instagram-friendly adventure.

Museum of Illusions

The Museum of Illusions first opened its doors in Zagreb, before expanding to the rest of the world. You can find one of the museums from this popular franchise in Belgrade, and it offers some of the same, picture-perfect optical illusions that you can find in other ones.

Selfie Museum

Immersive museums that will fit right in on your Instagram feed are all the rage in Belgrade. The Selfie Museum falls under this category and its colorful themed rooms are the perfect spot for an epic photo-op that you can enjoy with your friends and family.

Museum of Chocolate

If you want to take a break from taking photos and dive into one of Belgrade’s sweetest spots, the Museum of Chocolate will be your cup of tea. Located in Kalemegdan Park, this museum will win you over with its amazing sweet displays and exhibitions that explore the history of chocolate.

Located in the Balkans, Serbia has always been proud of their national cuisine. The food there has been influenced by many different cultures, which makes it so diverse today. Here are three foods you must try in Serbia if you have a chance.

Gibanica

Gibanica is a traditional pie made with phyllo dough and cheese filling. The filling is rich and creamy, so the pie is not dry. The dough and the filling are layered in a baking dish and baked until golden brown. It’s a favorite breakfast dish of many!

Ajvar

Made from local red peppers—the best come from south Serbia—ajvar is a popular spread that goes great with many different foods. Once it’s made—typically at the beginning of fall when peppers are in season—it’s on the table every day with pretty much everything.

Sarma

Stuffed cabbage rolls are known as sarma in Serbia and they are insanely popular. Fermented cabbage leaves are stuffed with a mixture of minced meat, rice, onion, and spices, then rolled and put in a pot to cook. They’re a part of every celebration—but also often on the daily menu. It’s typical to make sarma in large quantities for family gatherings, holiday celebrations, etc.

Žitište is a small village in northeastern Serbia that became famous even outside of Serbia’s borders thanks to a unique statue you can see there. 

Žitište’s Rocky Balboa statue is the third one in the world apart from the more famous ones in Philadelphia and San Diego. It’s not a copy of either of these two. The sculpture was made by Croatian sculptor Boris Staparac in 2007. Since the budget was limited, the sculptor didn’t want to charge the fee for building the statue, lowering the total cost to around $6,000.

It’s been called one of the most bizarre monuments in the world by the press, but when you consider that Rocky is an idol for so many people around the world, it’s not a huge surprise that it was chosen for the village’s hero. The statue symbolizes hope, perseverance, and hard work. There’s nothing bizarre about that if you ask us.

If you happen to be in Eastern Europe and want to visit this quirky Serbia’s village, you can get there fairly easily from Belgrade or Novi Sad with a bus or a car. Žitište dates back to the 14th century, but there’s really not much to see after you check out the Rocky statue.

If you’re up for an unusual vacation, a trip to Serbia might be just what you’re looking for. While the capital Belgrade is known for exciting nightlife and great cafes and chilling spots for the day, a short ride will take you to many other exciting places that you never knew existed.

Novi Sad

Head around 100km north and you’ll find Novi Sad, the second-largest city in Serbia. It’s much more relaxed than Belgrade and not too big in size, which makes it perfect for walking around. Find many cafes, shops, and bars in Dunavska, one of the oldest streets in the city. Don’t miss Petrovaradin Fortress, also known as “Gibraltar on/of the Danube.”

Sremski Karlovci

Sremski Karlovci is a town close to Novi Sad where you can see incredible architecture and one of the most important buildings in Serbia—the Karlovci Gymnasium, the oldest secondary school in the country.

Tara

Mountain and national park Tara is something you shouldn’t miss while visiting Serbia. Tara is proof that Serbia has incredible nature. Just one look at the lake Perucac will make you forget about the rest of the world. Another mountain and a popular tourist destination Zlatibor is close to Tara, so you can check it out, too.

Located in the Balkans, Serbia has always been proud of their national cuisine. The food there has been influenced by many different cultures, which makes it so diverse today. Here are three foods you must try in Serbia if you have a chance.

Gibanica

Gibanica is a traditional pie made with phyllo dough and cheese filling. The filling is rich and creamy, so the pie is not dry. The dough and the filling are layered in a baking dish and baked until golden brown. It’s a favorite breakfast dish of many!

Ajvar

Made from local red peppers—the best come from south Serbia—ajvar is a popular spread that goes great with many different foods. Once it’s made—typically at the beginning of fall when peppers are in season—it’s on the table every day with pretty much everything.

Sarma

Stuffed cabbage rolls are known as sarma in Serbia and they are insanely popular. Fermented cabbage leaves are stuffed with a mixture of minced meat, rice, onion, and spices, then rolled and put in a pot to cook. They’re a part of every celebration—but also often on the daily menu. It’s typical to make sarma in large quantities for family gatherings, holiday celebrations, etc.

Žitište is a small village in northeastern Serbia that became famous even outside of Serbia’s borders thanks to a unique statue you can see there. 

Žitište’s Rocky Balboa statue is the third one in the world apart from the more famous ones in Philadelphia and San Diego. It’s not a copy of either of these two. The sculpture was made by Croatian sculptor Boris Staparac in 2007. Since the budget was limited, the sculptor didn’t want to charge the fee for building the statue, lowering the total cost to around $6,000.

It’s been called one of the most bizarre monuments in the world by the press, but when you consider that Rocky is an idol for so many people around the world, it’s not a huge surprise that it was chosen for the village’s hero. The statue symbolizes hope, perseverance, and hard work. There’s nothing bizarre about that if you ask us.

If you happen to be in Eastern Europe and want to visit this quirky Serbia’s village, you can get there fairly easily from Belgrade or Novi Sad with a bus or a car. Žitište dates back to the 14th century, but there’s really not much to see after you check out the Rocky statue.

If you’re up for an unusual vacation, a trip to Serbia might be just what you’re looking for. While the capital Belgrade is known for exciting nightlife and great cafes and chilling spots for the day, a short ride will take you to many other exciting places that you never knew existed.

Novi Sad

Head around 100km north and you’ll find Novi Sad, the second-largest city in Serbia. It’s much more relaxed than Belgrade and not too big in size, which makes it perfect for walking around. Find many cafes, shops, and bars in Dunavska, one of the oldest streets in the city. Don’t miss Petrovaradin Fortress, also known as “Gibraltar on/of the Danube.”

Sremski Karlovci

Sremski Karlovci is a town close to Novi Sad where you can see incredible architecture and one of the most important buildings in Serbia—the Karlovci Gymnasium, the oldest secondary school in the country.

Tara

Mountain and national park Tara is something you shouldn’t miss while visiting Serbia. Tara is proof that Serbia has incredible nature. Just one look at the lake Perucac will make you forget about the rest of the world. Another mountain and a popular tourist destination Zlatibor is close to Tara, so you can check it out, too.
