Belgrade
The capital city of Belgrade is one of the best places to start your vacation in Serbia because of the many attractions and things to do such as visiting Kalemegdan fortress (pictured).
Kalemegdan fortress and park is one of the most interesting places to visit in Serbia, and it’s the oldest settlement and one of the biggest attractions in the country.

Apart from marveling at the fortress and walking along the beautiful promenades within the fortress, you can do many other things such as visiting the zoo, the military museum, the museum of natural science and the Observatory and Planetarium.
A visit to Belgrade wouldn't be complete without exploring Belgrade’s beautiful squares such as Slavija Square, and beautiful districts such as Knez Mihajlova Street and Krunka Street where you’ll find the Temple of Saint Sava and Nikola Tesla Museum.
A few of my favorite places along Knez Mihajlova Street are:

Another interesting thing to do in Novi Sad it’s taking a walking tour of the city center to soak in the beautiful sights and stunning façades.
Places to look out for in the center of Novi Sad include the Republic Square and the beautiful Novi Sad Cathedral Square, and Dunavski Park where you can unwind after a lond day of touring the city’s attractions.
