Serbia holidays by Cox & Kings

Having come through the troubles and conflict of the 1990s, Serbia became a country in its own right in 2006 after Montenegro claimed independence.

Located at the crossroads of central and south-eastern Europe, the country offers a variety of natural landscapes; from the fertile plains in the north giving way to lush rolling hills, to wooded valleys rising to the Dinaric Alps in the south. History is visible in the mix of socialist blocks, Orthodox churches, imperial palaces and 18th-century fortresses in the capital, Belgrade – one of the oldest cities in Europe.

Serbia is still relatively untouched by tourism – so be sure to visit this underrated Balkan nation before the secret gets out.
