Serbia is one of the rare unexploited tourist destinations in Europe and the last getaway from the civilisation.
It is the point in Europe where East meets West. It abounds in mystery, rich history and culture, friendly people and interesting places that will certainly not make you feel indifferent.
Where else can you find an abandoned medieval castle or natural phenomena in which you will be able to enjoy without being disturbed by loads of tourists around you.
One of the first impressions you will get about the people here is that they are very warm and friendly. What you can be guaranteed is that your contact with local people will free you from any possible prejudice you had about Serbia.
Balkanic spontenaity, kindness and willingness to help are only some of the qualities these people have. There are ancient and interesting customs, rich culture and tradition, healthy domestic food and famous welcome drinks.
Hundreds of difficult and turbulent years have passed from the foundation of a small medieval fuedal county in the 900s, to a modern European society.
All this time has left a deep impact on the culture and tradition of this region. The Illyrians, Celts, Romans, Slavs, Turks and Germans, are merely a part of the history of the Balkans.
After the decay of the former Republic of Yugoslavia, wars and crises during the 1990s, Serbia has emerged from the dark of communism and headed towards European and world integration.
The country is now stable and safe and open to the world. The number of foreign tourists has been increasing every month. In 2006, more than 420,000 foreign tourists have enjoyed the beauty of Serbia. More than 40,000 tourists spent New Years Eve in Belgrade.
