Verstaan

Serwiërs is 'n warm volk en verwelkoming teenoor buitelanders. Baie Serwiërs sal Engels praat en gretig wees om dit te beoefen (bejaardes praat egter waarskynlik Duits en / of Frans), sodat u die pad kan vind deur aanwysings te vra.

Klimaat

In die noorde: kontinentale klimaat (koue winters en warm, vogtige somers met reën wat goed versprei is); sentrale gedeelte: matige kontinentale klimaat; en in die suide: warm, droë somers en herfs en relatief koue winters met swaar sneeuval.

Geskiedenis

Daar was sewentien Romeinse keisers gebore in die gebied van vandag se Serwië, meer as in Gallië (Frankryk en België), Iberia (Spanje en Portugal) of inderdaad enige ander moderne land se gebied nie Italië, en hulle het almal monumente agtergelaat en paleise in of naby hul geboorteplekke gebou. Dit kan heel moontlik wees dat die oudste menslike nedersettings in Europa, al is dit nie in die wêreld nie, in die land Serwië gevind kan word. Die langste gedeelte van die Donau-rivier, langer as in enige ander Europese land, is in Serwië. Die reuse hidro-elektriese dam van Đerdap het 'n meer geskep wat kilometers ver uit die Đerdap-canyon strek met sy beroemde Romeinse pad na die Ooste wat deur keiser Trajanus gebou is.

Die eerste Serviese staat onder die naam is in die laat 8ste eeu gevorm, en word in die 12de eeu 'n koninkryk en brei teen die middel van die 14de eeu uit tot 'n ryk wat die grootste deel van die Balkan bestaan. In 1389 verloor die Serwiërs egter 'n beslissende stryd in die Kosovo-veld teen die Ottomaanse Ryk. Serwië het daarin geslaag om sy vryheid vir nog sewentig jaar te bewaar, en is uiteindelik in 1459 deur die Turke oorweldig.

Met 'n paar kort tussenposes van 2-5 jaar elk en een langer (1717-1739) toe die gebied Serwië suid van die riviere Donau en Sava is opgeneem in die Oostenrykse Ryk, het dit onder die Ottomaanse heerskappy gebly totdat 'n opstand in die vroeë 1800's tot 'n volskaalse oorlog gegroei het (Serwiese Revolusie oftewel Eerste Serwiese Opstand) het gelei tot die herstel van die Serviese outonomie in 1815 en volle onafhanklikheid in 1837. Na 160 jaar onder die Turke (dieselfde as die grootste deel van Kroasië en Hongarye), Noord-Serwië (Vojvodina) was vanaf die 1690's onder die Oostenrykse bewind.

Die 1914 Oostenryks-Hongaarse inval in Serwië na die sluipmoord op aartshertog Ferdinand deur 'n etniese Serwiese hoërskoolleerling het die eerste Wêreldoorlog. In die nasleep daarvan in 1918 het die oorwinnende Serwië alle suid-Slawiese lande (Kroasië, Slowenië, Slawië, Dalmatië, Bosnië en Hercegovina en Montenegro) bymekaargemaak in die Koninkryk Serwiërs, Kroate en Slowenes; Die land se naam is in 1929 na Joego-Slawië verander. Inval en besetting deur Duitsland en Italië in 1941 gedurende Tweede Wereldoorlog is deur die Joego-Slawiese weermag in vaderland (Chetniks) weerstaan, onder bevel van luitenant-generaal Dragoljub Mihajlović en kommunistiese geleide guerrilla (partisane) wat uiteindelik met mekaar en die indringers begin veg het. Die partisane, onder bevel van veldmaarskalk Josip Broz Tito, het as oorwinnaars uit die stryd getree en 'n voorlopige regering gevorm wat die monargie afgeskaf het en in 1946 'n republiek uitgeroep het na 'n twyfelagtige referendum. Aan die einde van die oorlog het byna alle etniese Duitsers die land verlaat. Hoewel die nuwe regering van J.B. Tito pro-kommunisties was, het hy die volgende vier en 'n half dekades met sukses sy eie delikate pad tussen die Warschau-paktnasies en die Weste gestuur.

In die vroeë negentigerjare het die post-Tito Joego-Slawië langs etniese linies begin ontrafel: Slowenië, Kroasië, en die voormalige Joego-Slawië Republiek van Macedonië almal het in 1991 van die Joego-Slawiese Unie geskei; en Bosnië en Herzegovina in 1992. Al die pogings om Joego-Slawië te bewaar, was onsuksesvol en bloedige burgeroorloë het in Kroasië en in Bosnië uitgebreek. Die oorblywende republieke van Serwië en Montenegro het in 1992 'n nuwe "Federale Republiek van Joego-Slawië" (FRY) verklaar. Slobodan Milošević is verkies tot die eerste president van Serwië.

In die laat negentigerjare het die konflik met die Albanese separatistiese beweging in Kosovo het gelei tot 'n NAVO-bomveldtog en direkte ingryping, wat die plasing van Kosovo onder 'n VN-administrasie laat. Slobodan Milošević, teen hierdie tyd verkies tot die president van die federasie, het in die herfs van 2000 in die Federale verkiesing aan Vojislav Koštunica verloor. Die land het sy lidmaatskap van die VN weer tot stand gebring en begin met die voorbereidings om tot die EU toe te tree.

In 2002 het die republieke Serwië en Montenegro met onderhandelinge begin om 'n losser verhouding te smee, wat eers gelei het tot die naamsverandering van die nasie na "Serwië en Montenegro", wat toe uitgeloop het op Montenegro onafhanklikheid in Junie 2006 verklaar. Kosovo eensydig sy onafhanklikheid verklaar; hierdie handeling word egter nie deur Serwië en baie ander lande erken nie.

Onafhanklikheid het op 4 Februarie 2003 plaasgevind (toe dit van die Federale Republiek Joego-Slawië na die Staatsunie van Serwië en Montenegro) of op 5 Junie 2006 (toe dit Serwië).

Soos die meeste lande in die wêreld, gebruik Serwië die Metrieke stelsel.

Gaan in

Toelatingsvereistes

Registreer by die polisie Soos die naburige Bosnië en Kroasië, moet buitelanders volgens die wet binne 12 uur registreer by die polisiekantoor in hul distrik nadat hulle 'n Serwiese toegangsstempel by 'n grensoorgang of lughawe ontvang het. Registrasie geskied outomaties deur hotelpersoneel by die inklokdatum; as u egter by vriende in 'n privaat woning tuisgaan, moet u u teenwoordigheid by die polisie in die distrik waarin u tuisgaan, registreer. U moet die onderste gedeelte van die registrasievorm vir buitelanders ontvang wat u moet saamneem as u by 'n polisiekantoor registreer, of 'n afdruk van die hotelontvangs as u in 'n hotel tuisgaan; wanneer u die land verlaat, kan u gevra word om dit aan die grenspolisie voor te lê. Soms sal hulle nie daarvoor vra nie, en u kan dit as 'n administratiewe aandenking hou. Moet nooit vergeet dat die versuim om te registreer tot vervolging en 'n groot boete kan lei nie, hoewel dit selde toegepas word.

Buitelandse burgers van die volgende lande / gebiede kan Serwië binnekom visumvry (Regeringswebwerf):

• Tot by 90 dae in 6 maande:Albanië, Andorra, Argentinië, Australië, Oostenryk, Azerbeidjan, Bahrein, België, Bolivia, Bosnië en Herzegovina, Brasilië, Bulgarye, Kanada, Chili, Costa Rica, Kroasië, Kuba, Ciprus, Tsjeggiese Republiek, Denemarke, Estland, Finland, Frankryk, Duitsland, Griekeland, Heilige Stoel, Hongarye, Ysland, Ierland, Israel, Italië, Japan, Letland, Liechtenstein, Litaue, Luxemburg, Macau, Malta, Mexiko, Moldawië, Monaco, Mongolië, Montenegro, Nederland, Nieu-Seeland, Noord-Macedonië, Noorweë, Oman, Peru, Pole, Portugal, Katar, Roemenië, San Marino, Seychelle, Singapoer, Slowakye, Slowenië, Suid-Korea, Spanje, Swede, Switserland, Tunisië, Turkye, Verenigde Arabiese Emirate, Verenigde Koninkryk, Verenigde State, Uruguay

Serwië het aangekondig dat besoekers met Kosovar visums of paspoortstempels word nie in die land toegelaat nie. Dit blyk egter dat die visums en seëls in plaas daarvan met 'n 'gekanselleerde' stempel oorstempel sal word. Om Serwië binne Kosovo binne te gaan sonder 'n Serwiese toegangsstempel, word beskou as 'n onwettige toegang en kan met strawwe strawwe opgelê word; om Serwië via Kosovo te verlaat, is egter nie 'n probleem nie.

Doeane-beheer is redelik eenvoudig, maar 'n opvallende regulasie is dat u slegs 120 000 mag skuif Serwiese dinars (RSD) die land in en uit, en note groter as RSD 1000 mag nie oor die grens beweeg nie. U kan tot € 10.000 sonder die verklaring deur die grens neem. Aangesien bankoordragte uit Serwië steeds moeilik is, is kontant steeds die maklikste opsie vir medium bedrae.

Sien Belgrado # Met die trein vir gedetailleerde inligting en pryse. Treine na Roemenië, Bulgarye en Noord-Macedonië is gewoonlik redelik laat (ongeveer 'n uur) en daar word na bewering dikwels bestaan ​​uit ou, nie baie gemaklike motors nie. Treine is gewoonlik baie veilig. Dink daaraan dat baie oornagtreine in die middel van die nag die grens oorsteek, en dat die aangewese beamptes nie ongemaklik is om u wakker te maak nie.

Vir die roosters en alle ander inligting, kyk na die webwerf van die nasionale vervoerder Serwiese spoorweë.

Die Beograd-Bar-lyn is een van die mooiste spoorweë in Europa, met baie tonnels en brûe (waaronder Mala Rijeka, die hoogste spoorwegbrug ter wêreld) en 'n pragtige uitsig op die Dinar-berge. Dit is beslis die moeite werd om die trein per dag te neem.

Met die motor

As u voertuig in 'n EU-land geregistreer en verseker is, het u nie 'n groen kaart nodig nie. Andersins, maak seker dat u Green Card 'n "SRB" -kassie het. Die grensoorgang Szeged / Horgos, wat van Hongarye binnekom, is berug vir sy opeenhoping. As u die grens vanaf Hongarye oorsteek, probeer dan die Tompa / Kelebija-kruispunt, ongeveer 20 km wes.

Die polisie is gewoonlik by groot kruisings of by onderpaaie om verkeer en spoed te beheer. Bestuurders waarsku gewoonlik dat die polisie teenwoordig is deur twee of drie keer die groot balke te knip. Onderskeppers van die polisie patrolleer alle groot snelweë. Bestuurders wat vinnig jaag en / of aggressief ry, word gestop. Snelhede tot 140 km / h in 120 km / h-sones word gewoonlik geduld, maar nie altyd nie.

Die verkeerswet is streng. Geen persoon jonger as 14 jaar mag op die voorste sitplek ry nie, veiligheidsgordels is verpligtend vir alle passasiers, die alkoholinhoud in bloed is beperk tot 0,03% en boetes begin by € 30 vir kleiner oortredings en gaan tot 60 dae gevangenisstraf en € 5 000 omdat hulle 'n groter verkeersongeluk veroorsaak het (inwoners sowel as buitelanders). Hou in gedagte dat gevangenisstraf byna onvermydelik sal wees as u iemand in 'n ongeluk doodmaak. As u op landelike en plaaslike paaie ry, let veral op die fietsryers, trekkers en ander swaar landboumasjiene! Dit kan sonder behoorlike ligsignalisering en moeilik sigbaar wees, dus vertraag snags.

Die snelweg is tol, maar die tol is nie meer vir buitelanders hoër as vir inwoners nie. Sneltariewe kos gemiddeld € 0,03 / km en kan in Serwiese dinars of euro's betaal word. Dit word per straatgeld gehef, dus dit is moontlik om meer te betaal as slegs 'n gedeelte van die gedeelte gebruik word. Hoofpaaie en bevolkte gebiede is goed bedek met vulstasies, wat u 'n wye verskeidenheid gewone brandstowwe (eurody, loodvrye petrol, ens.)

Die Serbian Auto-Moto Association (AMSS) -telefoonnommer is 1987 en hulle lewer allerhande dienste (inligting, sleep, herstelwerk). Privaat insleepdienste kan duur wees, en sommige is stomp. Die meeste van die groot motorondernemings het hul diens in Serwië.

Met die bus

Wene - Busse vertrek feitlik elke dag vanaf Wene International Busterminal (Erdberg). Vir bestemmings suid van Belgrado vertrek Zoran Reisen-afrigters Vrydag om 15:00 en vra ongeveer € 45 vir 'n enkele reis.

Vir meer inligting, sien die rooster in Engels^{[dooie skakel]} (aankoms / vertrek) van die Belgrado-busstasie.

Per boot

Daar is boottoere wat deur Belgrado beweeg. Dit is Trafalgar Tours in Engels, wat langs die eilandvaart vaar Donau en hou 'n tweedaagse tussenstop in Belgrado.

Deur duim

Rittog oor Serwië is steeds aanvaarbaar en die meeste bestuurders sal jou soos 'n vriend behandel. Die nodige voorsorgmaatreëls moet egter steeds getref word. Oor die algemeen is dit maklik om deur Vojvodina te ry en baie moeiliker om van Belgrado na die suide, na Kosovo of Noord-Macedonië en Montenegro te ry. Die Hitchhiker's Guide to Serbia bied 'n versameling liften vir 'n aantal liften vir 'n aantal stede en dorpe in Serwië. Dit is gemaak deur die lede van die Serbia Travel Club, 'n vereniging van onafhanklike reisigers uit Serwië, en is beskikbaar in Engels en Serwies.

Per fiets

Die fietsroete EuroVelo 6 wat vanaf die Atlantiese Oseaan tot by die Swart See loop, kruis Serwië deur die Donau-rivier te volg. Die meeste van die aanbevole reisroute volg klein geplaveide paaie, en die aanwysings word duidelik aangedui deur 'n spesifieke EuroVelo 6-aanwysing.

Alhoewel te min stede gepaste fietsryvriendelike infrastruktuur bied, wen fietsry stadig belangstelling onder die bevolking as 'n ekonomiese en volhoubare alternatiewe manier om te toer en pendel.

Kry rond

Met die bus

Die algemeenste en gerieflikste manier om Serwië te bereik, is per bus. Sien Busreise in die voormalige Joego-Slawië vir meer inligting. Vir roosters (alhoewel nie die pryse nie), kan u dit nagaan polazak.rs

Met die trein

Treine in Serwië is aansienlik stadiger as die meeste van Wes- / Sentraal-Europa, maar dit kan 'n skilderagtige manier wees om die land te sien. Op die meeste van die roetes is treine ook stadiger as busse, met uitsondering van die lyne vanaf Belgrado na Novi Sad en tot by die Kroaties-grens (Šid). Dit kan egter baie goedkoper wees (tot 40%). Treine is baie meer gereeld op tyd, maar die intensiteit van die spoorwegdienste is op die meeste lyne afgeneem (met sommige internasionale lyne wat opgeskort word).

Die meeste treinspore word met nuwe treine bestuur (Stadler Flirt vir geëlektrifiseerde lyne en Metrovagonmash RA-2 vir nie-geëlektrifiseerde treine, maar u kan nog steeds van die ouer treine op randlyne vind (JŽ-klas 412/416 vervaardig in die Sowjet-Unie) Union), en selfs sommige van die ou Oos-Duitse dieselspoorbusse (Šinobus), laasgenoemde, meestal in streekgebruik in Banat) en meer gereelde treine met lokomotiewe wat internasionale lyne bedien.

Alle treine word bestuur deur die Serwiese Spoorweg-passasiersvertakking SrbijaVoz^{[dooie skakel]}. (roosters beskikbaar, om een ​​of ander rede, pryse is slegs beskikbaar vir sekere roetes. Vir treinpryse vir alle roetes kan u kyk polazak.rs . U moet 'n treinstasie kies op die plekke waarheen u reis (gemerk met 'n treinsimbool en gevolg deur ŽS.

Treintipes

Daar is verskillende treinsoorte in gereelde passasiersdienste, maar die treintipe beïnvloed selde die werklike reistyd, of treinspoed. Dit verskil ook effens in pryse.

Brzi (Vinnige) treine (gemerk met 'n B op roosters), wat teoreties op minder haltes stop (alhoewel dit meestal die mees perifere beteken).

RegioEkspres treine (gemerk met 'n Re op roosters), wat op die meeste stasies stop (dit beteken gewoonlik almal).

Hierdie twee soorte treine het 'n aanvulling wat by die kaartjie gevoeg word (50 RSD vir ritte tot 50 km, en 100 RSD vir ritte meer as 50 km, vir Re-treine en 100 RSD vir B-treine)

Putnički (Passasier) (gemerk met 'n PT op roosters) treine, wat by alle stasies stop en nie 'n aanvulling het nie. Hierdie tipe word al hoe ongewooner omdat ŽS dit uitfaseer ten gunste van Re-treine.

Treintyd en pryse

Treinreise in die grootste deel van Serwië is geensins tydbesparend nie, maar dit kan 'n baie goeie opsie wees vir sakereisigers. Daar is (in teorie) twee klasse in B- en Re-treine (1e en 2e, 1ste is 20% duurder)), alhoewel dit toenemend betekenisloos is, aangesien nuwe Stadler- en Metrovagonmash-treine baie min 1-klas sitplekke het (4 in elke trein) , en hulle word byna altyd deur die dirigente geneem, en dit kan uitdagend wees om hulle te laat beweeg. Daar is byna nooit 'n 1ste klas vervoer op die meeste internasionale treine nie.

Reistye op die meeste lyne is baie langer as om met die bus te reis, en baie stede in Sentraal-Serwië is nie direk met Belgrado verbind nie (en roosterbeplanners stel dit nie voorop om vinnige en maklike veranderinge moontlik te maak nie). Hierdie situasie laat 'n voornemende treinreisiger met min moontlikhede om per trein na kleiner stede te reis.

Oor die algemeen is dit makliker, goedkoper en gemakliker (en soms vinniger) om 'n trein van Belgrado na Novi Sad te neem (~ 1½ uur reis, ~ 400 RSD eenrigting). Om van Belgrado naar Niš te reis, is 'n ander opsie, alhoewel hierdie reis baie langer is as met die bus (~ 5½ uur teenoor ~ 3 uur), en dit kan baie ongemaklik raak as u met nuwer Stadler-treine reis, want hul sitplekke is gebou vir korter reistye (dit kan ook baie frustrerend wees om in 'n heeltemal moderne trein te sit met 'n LCD-skerm wat u voortdurend 45 km / uur laat sien). Hierdie reis kan, aan die ander kant, 'n baie aangename en skilderagtige ervaring wees, as u byvoorbeeld 'n PT-trein neem vanaf Zemun (vertrek Belgradsentrumstasie om 15:22 en arriveer om 20:52, kos 784 RSD) wat steeds deur ou koetswaens en lokomotiewe vervoer word (en byna altyd heeltemal leeg (Mei 2017).

Die langdurige verandering (begin in die 1980's) van spoorwegterminale vanaf Glavna Železnička Stanica Beograd (Belgrado-hoofspoorwegstasie) na Beograd Centar / Prokop (Belgradsentrum / Prokop) is voltooi (vanaf die rooster vir 2017/18). Die enigste treine wat by die hoofspoorweg eindig, is nou die internasionale, en 'n paar B treine vanaf Subotica en Novi Sad. Die probleem hiermee is dat die Beograd Centar meestal nie gebou is nie; hy het net die perrons en geen stasiegebou nie, en dit is moeilik om te bereik (soos die inwoners van Belgrado graag wil sê, daar is slegs 1½ buslyne) nêrens en 'n ander (baie onreëlmatig) wat van nêrens af gaan na die Slavija-plein nie. As u toevallig van Novi Sad, Subotica of Šid gaan, moet u dit oorweeg om die trein by Novi Beograd te verlaat en 'n bus of 'n tram na die middestad te neem. Of jy kan met die stadspoorweg ry (BG: Voz vanaf Beograd Centar na Novi Beograd of Karađorđev Park / Vukov spomenik, wat meer sentraal geleë is. Vermy treine wat laat in die nag aankom, want nie Novi Beograd-stasie of Belgradsentrum is 'n goeie plek om te wees nie snags, en na 23:00 is daar feitlik geen openbare vervoer nie. Beograd Centar is gebou as 'n spoorwegnaaf vir die Joego-Slawiese spoorweë, en is beplan vir baie meer en baie groter treine wat hy nou sien, dus wees seker wag regs perron en bly naby die middel, want anders kan jy jou trein mis.

You must buy tickets at the train station before boarding the train (unless the ticket window is closed (usually only very late at night, and never in main cities). A ticket is valid for a specific train, not (as is common in Western Europe, a line), so you can't hop-on hop-off.

The cashiers usually speak little English, so you should have a peace of paper with your destination written on it, and if you don't want to the next train, the number of that train. The cashier will sometimes ask you if you want a reservation, and if you speak no Serbo-Croatian, they will usually put it without asking. This reservation costs 110 RSD, and has no real purpose, as it only guarantees you a seat, and trains are almost never full (except the Belgrade-Novi Sad line). Also, even if you have it, conductors can be unwilling to fight other passengers to give you the seat, and you can bet that no one on the train will have a reservation for a particular seat you take. If you don't wish to take the reservation you should just say bez rezervacije (bez rezervatsiye) when buying a ticket.

The official Serbian language is similar to Croatian and Bosnian. Before the era of nationalist linguistic policies and the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, all of those dialects were all known as Serbo-Croatian. Today, people in the former Yugoslavia no longer use this general term for what remains a common language.

English is commonly spoken by younger adults throughout Serbia and they are also quite willing to practise it with foreigners. You can also try with German, French, Russian, Spanish or Italian which are taught in school.

If you speak Russies or other Slavic languages such as Bulgarian and Macedonian, it can prove to be occasionally helpful for you, as the those languages have some similarities with Serbian. Older people may speak Russian as it was taught as a compulsory second language in school during the communist era, though it has been largely supplanted by English among the younger generation.

In Vojvodina, most people speak Serbian, but other languages are also used. In some towns near the Hungarian border, you are more likely to hear Hungarian. There are many smaller minorities (Slovaks, Romanians, Roma people), who often speak their native languages.

Serbia's many sights include stunning castles, Medieval monasteries, lovely traditional villages and bustling cities with baroque parks and art-deco architecture.

Stede en dorpe

Its capital, Belgrado, is a lively and upcoming European city with the Sava and Danube rivers running right trough it. Certainly not a boring city, it has a plethora of interesting destinations, old and new.. Stroll through Prince Michael Street, the cities main pedestrian street, or stop by for a drink in one of Skadarlija 's many restaurants. There are a lot of old buildings on all four banks, including the huge Kalemegdan Fortress, that has been built, modeled and remodeled by the Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Serbs, Austrians and Turks in a time span of over 2000 years. Once an important military fortification, it now serves as a central park of Belgrade with beautiful views facing the north-west. Within the fort is a zoo, a military museum, a couple churches rich in history, galleries, parks, sports fields, etc. It has a multitude of various towers and ports, and two long walking/biking paths along both rivers. Other Belgrade sights include the modern Temple of Saint Sava, die Nasionale Museum en die Old Court Palace. The river island Ada Ciganlija has an artificial lake and an 8 km long gravel beach, and is a close option if one doesn't want to bathe in pools. Should one want the contrary, Tasmajdan park is, along with the famous church of St. Mark, filled with pools and even houses a water polo team. It's a lively place with lots of sports and entertainment, cafes and restaurants, some of which are opened the whole year round. Zemun, now part of the Belgrade urban area, developed under Hungarian and later Habsburg influence for most of its history and is a pleasant area with a distinct feeling dissimilar to Belgrade. It offers plenty of entertainment and restaurants on its Zemun quay, on the bank of the Danube.

Novi Sad is another delightful city, with the Petrovaradin Fortress (one of the greatest and best preserved 18th-century fortresses in Europe) as its main sight. The city also has a number of lovely parks that just ask for a long afternoon stroll or picnic. Sremski Karlovci near Novi Sad has a rich history, numerous monuments, museums, churches, galleries and famous wine cellars.

After you see the villages, Zlatibor offers some great ski-resorts, hiking trails and landscapes. Or hop on the Šargan Eight, a narrow-gauge heritage railway running from Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station (Zlatibor and Tara mountains). When it comes to the number of bridges and tunnels, and the rise of 18 per thousand, Sargan Eight is unique in Europe and a ride on the 8-shaped track is a popular pass time for tourists.

Kloosters

Serbia is home to a great number of Medieval orthodox monasteries, many with excellent fresco masterpieces inside. The 12th-century monastery of Studenica (naby Kraljevo) is one of the finest examples and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its two churches are built in white marble and boast some stunning 13th and 14th century Byzantine paintings. Žiča, also near Kraljevo, was founded around 1207 and painted red as a symbol of the blood of the martyrs of the early Christian church. The frescos at Sopoćani (naby Novi Pazar) are considered some of the finest examples of their time, and the monastery is on the World Heritage list together with ruins of ancient Stari Ras, once the capital of the Serbian state of Raška but deserted in the 13th century. The fortified Manasija monastery near Despotovac is protected by massive walls and towers, and although much of its original frescos were damaged beyond repair during the Ottoman rule, it's still well worth a visit. In the beautiful Kučaj mountains, Ravanica naby Ćuprija was assaulted, damaged and rebuilt time and again during history. It is the burial place of Lazar of Serbia, who is a saint of the orthodox Serbian church and a hero in Serbian epic poetry. Other fine monasteries include the Mileševa monastery near Prijepolje, with its world famous "White Angel" fresco, and Krušedol naby Srem. The famous medieval monasteries were protected by UNESCO are: The Pec Patriarchate (monastery), Gracanica monastery, and the monastery of Visoki Decani.

Nasionale parke

Of the several national parks and natural areas in the country, Fruška Gora is undoubtedly one of the best. Dotted with ancient monasteries and wineries, it combines orchards and vineyards on its vast plains with tight forests on its plains. Die Tara National Park covers some 20,000 hectares in the west of the country. There, the steep gorges of the Drina river and the high mountain peaks provide some stunning views that make a long hike well worth your effort. The mountainous landscape of Kopaonik, in the south, offers some great ski and snowboard opportunities, great views and a rich flora.

Largest national park in the country is Đerdap in the eastern part of the country, on the border with Romania. It consists of the Djerdap (Iron Gate) gorge thru which the river Danube runs and its beautiful surroundings of almost untouched nature. It is simply breathtaking and best experienced from a boat cruise. It can be also toured by bus or a car with many belvederes to stop and enjoy its views. EuroVelo 6 cycling route also runs through it.

Spas and resorts

Serbia is the land of spas. There are many thermal and mineral water springs and most of them are turned into healing and resting resorts.Vrnjačka Banja is the largest and most popular of them and is traditionally very attractive tourist resort for rest and recreation. It's the only mineral spa with a water temperature to match that of the human body, 36.5 °Celsius. Sokobanja is another famous spa and tourist place in Serbia known for its moderate continental climate and untouched nature - immense surfaces of woods, fresh air and a lot of thermo-mineral sources. Palić is a lovely city in the north. Its baroque parks, monuments of art nouveau architecture and a long tradition in catering made it a fashionable summer resort and spa for the 19th and 20th century elite.

Argeologiese terreine

Viminacium near the village of Stari Kostolac is an important archaeological site and was Serbia's first excavation project in the 1880s. It was once the provincial capital of the Roman province of Moesia (today's Serbia) and dates back to the 1st century. At the site you'll find archaeological remains of temples, streets, squares, a large amphitheatre, palaces, hippodromes and Roman baths. Another major archaeological site (and doubling as a spa) is that of Gamzigrad. It hosts the remnants of an ancient Roman complex of palaces and temples called Felix Romuliana, and is considered one of the most prominent and best preserved late-Roman sites.

Lepenski Vir, situated in national park Đerdap, 160 km east of Belgrade, between towns of Golubac and Donji Milanovac, is the site of oldest neolithic settlement in Europe and is part of UNESCO world heritage. It is very well preserved and famous for its fish-like sculptures. From neolithic period there is also an archaeological site Vinča, less spectacular though, but a must - see.

Ada Ciganlija is also an excellent place to kick back and relax during summer. It is as locals call it the sea of Belgrade. A lot of sport fields and courts (soccer, basketball, golf, volleyball, etc.) Cafés serving ice cream and beer abound on the banks of this lake-beach park.

A favorite leisure activity in Belgrade is drinking coffee in numerous bars, bistros and cafés (especially in Strahinjića Bana street, which is known locally as Silicon Valley). It is very strange, but most of places are occupied all day long - i.e., within working hours. You should check: Downtown café, Buka bar, Movie bar, Iron café, Biblioteka café, Monza café-boat, Bibis café-boat, and many more; People who are not in the folk and MTV music, and don't like to drink overpriced coffee, should avoid this street. There are coffee bars on almost every corner in Belgrade, which offer more relaxed atmosphere and are designed with more taste that those in Strahinjića Bana street.

Smederevo is a town about 50 km from Belgrade. There are direct bus lines almost every half an hour and it takes about one hour to get there from Belgrade. It is considered as the unofficial rock 'n' roll capitol of Serbia because of its many rock musicians and bands who live there or were born there. See the largest lowland medieval fortress in Europe (especially at night when its lights give a special romantic and mystical atmosphere) or go to a rock concert at "Moto Club Street Fighter" which is on the bank of the Danube. At the end of September, the town hosts a traditional festival called "Smederevska Jesen" (Smederevo Autumn) which is a festival of vine and Serbian culture with many concerts and other happenings. During the festival, there is a carnival at the end of the town, but avoid it because it's loud and crowded and basically, there's nothing to see or do. Just stay in the town center. The Museum of Smederevo holds a lot of Roman and medieval items and collections, so for history lovers, it's a must-see.

Restaurants, clubs, cafés and hotels are usually full-booked and organize New Years celebrations with food and live music.

However, Serbian New Year's celebrations are most known for the outdoors festivities in Belgrade, and several other major cities such as Novi Sad, Niš and Jagodina. As of mid-December, cities are extensively decorated and lit. The decorations remain until way into January due to the persistent influence of the old Julian calendar. Throughout the region, especially amongst former Yugoslav republics, Belgrade is known as the place to be for major parties, concerts and happenings. It has become common for large groups of Slovenes to visit their former capital and celebrate the beginning of a new year. Especially since the mid-1990s, street celebrations grew into mass gatherings with hundreds of thousands of people, celebrating New Year on one of several locations throughout Belgrade.

Also, on January 14, Serbians celebrate the so-called Serbian New Year, which is New Year's Eve by the Eastern Church calendar. In the night between January 13 and 14, you can re-live New Year's Eve.

The currency in Serbia is the dinar (denoted by РСД of динар, pl. dinari/динари). The USO currency code is RSD. Coins are minted in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 dinars, and banknotes are printed in values of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 dinars. The banknotes tend to be more common than the coins, so be prepared to carry around a large number of banknotes in varying conditions.

Serbian taxis, street vendors, and small restaurants will rarely have change for the larger denominations (especially 5000 notes). Travelers would be wise to spend these at department stores or large grocery stores to keep an adequate supply of small notes on hand .

Money can be exchanged at official exchange offices, locally called menjačnica, often carrying the emblem of the National Bank of Serbia outside the building. The rates here are usually better than those of the banks. It is much easier to convert euros or other major currencies. There are many ATMs, which accept foreign bank and credit cards without a glitch. Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard and Maestro are widely accepted. However, American Express and Diners Club cards are rarely accepted. Likewise, traveller's cheques are not a well known form of payment in Serbia and cashing them in could present a challenge.

The dinar is not widely convertible outside Serbia; re-convert your remaining dinars to Euros or other major currencies before leaving the country.

Old Yugoslavian currency can be purchased from street sellers. A RSD 500,000,000,000 note makes an interesting souvenir. At Kalemegdan, near the fortress in Belgrade, you can pick up a set of 10 banknotes from the hyperinflation era for RSD 600.

The euro is occasionally accepted, but prices are often higher when directly compared to the dinar. Belgrade is typically on par with prices in many European cities; however, outside the capital, prices of almost any item are a lot lower than in the capital.

Money changers may refuse worn-out or damaged foreign banknotes, especially US dollars, therefore it is recommended to bring notes only in good condition. Banks usually accept slightly damaged notes, sometimes with a commission.

Gas stations close to borders sometimes accept foreign currencies.

Kantel

Wenke are never considered a strict obligation since service charges are always included in the bill, however rounding up or leaving a tip (10-15%) is common in restaurants (not in fast-food restaurants) if the customer is satisfied with the service. Tips are also accepted in bars and taxicabs (usually by rounding up the amount paid - e.g. if the taximeter displays RSD 592, give 600).

Inkopies

Imported western food is available in many supermarkets, especially in the "Idea" chain.

In nearly all Serbian pharmacies (apoteka), you can buy prescription drugs without prescription.

Prices tend to be on par with the rest of the Balkans. However, import taxes make clothes and shoes in Serbia very expensive.

Pure vegetarian restaurants are rare, but many places will provide you with non-meat food (just ask for 'posno'-general term for non - meat foods). Numerous fast-food stands (burgers, barbecue, pizza, hot dog, pancakes...) and bakeries (Asian and European pastry, pitas...) are usually very good and will satisfy your needs at a reasonable price. Pizza, sandwiches, and pancakes (crepes) are also commonly found. Salads are primarily tomato, cucumber, and onion, or cabbage. Local produce is fresh and organic.

Serbian-style coffee

Coffee culture in Belgrade is particularly developed; walking about the central areas of the city you will find sprawling terraces and cafés, serving all types of coffee and sweets, particularly Viennese type cakes and local specialties. Be sure to try Serbian Turkish-style coffee, and chestnut purée with whipped cream, a local specialty especially at Republic Square (available mostly during winter).

Bly veilig

Serbia is generally a safe place to visit. The locals are incredibly polite and helpful in case you require any assistance. (If you need any help finding/reaching a place, it's best to ask a younger person for help, as they are more likely to speak English.) However, you should always be aware of pickpockets, mainly in crowded tourist places and on public transportation. Street robberies, murders, or attacks are highly unusual, even in dark or remote parts of a city/town. One should always watch out for drivers, who can be very rude to pedestrians or cyclists. There is also widespread intolerance against homosexuals.

Emergency phone numbers are: 192 - police; 193 - fire dept. and 194 - ambulance.

Following the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, reports of UXOs (unexploded ordnances) have occurred outside the major cities. Keep an eye out for markings which may note a potential UXO zone when outside the cities and always stick to well-trod paths. If you find a suspicious object resembling a bomb/mortar/landmine, don't touch it. Report it to the nearest police station immediately. Although most or UXOs have been cleared, it is also very unlikely that you will find any of those, even in the least visited parcels of Serbia.

Bly gesond

Kraanwater is perfectly safe to drink, and mainly of a good quality, too. There are also many springs and fountains with excellent-quality drinking water - the most popular ones being the fountain on Knez Mihailova in Belgrade, and the many fountains in the city of Nis.One must pay attention when it comes to water in Vojvodina. Some regions (like Kikinda and Zrenjanin) have heavily polluted water that is not even used for cooking, only as technical water.

Respek

Serbs are a very friendly, polite and hospitable people, especially in the southern parts of the country.

When you are invited into a Serbian home, make sure to bring them a gift if you are coming for the first time. Anything is fine from flowers to chocolate or something representative from your country. When you arrive at a rural house, take off your shoes unless the owner explicitly tells you to keep them on. When inside the house, don't ask for anything, for they will surely offer it. If you are thirsty it is polite to ask for a glass of water. The host probably forgot to offer you a drink and will do so.

In a bus or a tram it is considered polite to offer an elderly person or a pregnant woman a place to sit.

Because many Serbs feel frustrated by the 1990s Yugoslavian Wars or the NATO bombing of Serbia, it is best to avoid discussion of them. If someone brings the topic up, try to avoid giving any strong opinions until you can assess your acquaintance's views. Do not voice support for Kosovo independence. The US's vocal support of Kosovar independence, in addition to the 1999 air strikes caused some ill will directed towards the West, particularly towards the US (though this is rarely extrapolated to individual Americans). However, if you share the views of most Serbs, some may be willing to discuss the subject and many will be happy speaking to a Westerner who shares their views.

On the other hand, talking about Socialist Yugoslavia and Tito will not raise as many eyebrows, as most will not hesitate to talk about it and some may even approach it with a strong degree of affection towards that stabler and more peaceful era. Serbia does not recognize the independence of Kosovo but maintains relations with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.

Similar to other ex-Yugoslavia countries, Serbs do not like their country to be described as part of "Eastern Europe". A common misconception is that Serbia was part of the Soviet Bloc (in fact, it was part of Yugoslavia, which split with the Eastern bloc in 1948). While in other nations of Eastern Europe Russia remains unpopular due to its influence over those nations during the Cold War, in Serbia Russians were always seen as friendly brotherly people. People have no problems talking about the communist period or Tito and often express nostalgia over it.

When toasting in Serbia, as in most European countries, make sure you make eye contact. You may be invited to drink gallons but are expected to be able to hold your drink. Being obviously drunk is a sign of bad taste, lack of character, and worse. Be careful: "rakija", a plum spirit (usually about 53% alcohol content), is stronger than you might expect, and will make you drunk fast! It is always nice to toast in your companion's native tongue. Cheers is živeli in Serbian.

Don't point with your finger at someone. This is considered rude.

Socially, displays of affection among the younger generation are as in Western Europe, but the older generation (over 65) is quite conservative.

The word molim (please) is key to polite conversation in Serbian. It basically means please, maar ook you're welcome, an appropriate response when somebody thanks you (and says hvala). It also means I beg your pardon?. Just saying Šta? (What?) can sound rude. It may be said that the use of the word molim is similar to the use of bitte in German.

Like most European languages, Serbian has formal and informal ways of saying jy (Vi en ti). Use the formal Vi version when addressing older people. People are normally not addressed or referred to by their first names, unless among friends or relatives.

Verbind

There are three GSM/UMTS mobile phone networks in Serbia: MTS, Telenor and Vip. Prepaid SIM cards usually cost RSD 200-300 and there is no need for identification when buying them at a store in person. Most small stores and kiosks that sell newspapers and cigarettes in Belgrade offer the SIM cards. A good option (as of April 2018) is the VIP 7-day card for 300RSD including 8GB of LTE Internet (but no call or SMS credit).

But you need to have a valid Serbian ID for online order of prepaid SIM card from Telenor (the only operator known which takes online orders).

In some stores you can buy a simple mobile phone packaged with prepaid SIM card for RSD 2000–3000.

Most hotels have internet connections, and plenty of restaurants have Wi-Fi hotspots.
