What to see in Serbia first of all
1. Belgrade Fortress (Belgrade)
The oldest Belgrade fortress of the Roman era
Many guides in Serbia recommend that guests of the country visit this place. This is the most famous landmark of Serbia – the Belgrade Fortress, which was repeatedly destroyed and finally restored in the XX century. It was owned by the Byzantines, Hungarians, and Bulgarians. During the time of the Ottoman yoke, the fortress belonged to the Turks. The name of the ancient building (Kalemegdan), built more than 2,000 years ago, translates from Turkish as “castle square”. The Turks called this place on the banks of the Danube and the Sava “the hill of reflection.” There is now a park on the site of the former military barracks. The unique historical museum complex includes Kalemegdan Park, Upper and Lower Towns. A military museum has also been founded here, presenting countless exhibits – various types of weapons, ranging from medieval catapults, crossbows, nuclear cannons and crossbows to modern bombs and missiles. There are also the remains of the Metropolitan Palace, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, the chapel of the gate of the powder storage and many towers. One of the symbols of Belgrade stands on the territory of the complex – a monument to the Winner in honor of the victory over the Turks.

If you are passionate about mysticism, be sure to go to the Devil’s city. This slightly creepy place is located in the south of the country, not far from Kosovo. They say that it is simply necessary to see this complex in Serbia, otherwise you will simply regret the missed chance. Unusual pillars in the middle of the forest and the “blood” water flowing around both frighten and attract with their mystery anyone who is hunting for new experiences. The intricate shapes of the rocks lead locals and visitors of this place to think about the existence of evil spirits. It is said that this place has magical powers. Around the city of the Devil, the remains of ancient mines have been preserved, where unfortunate workers have been flooded more than once. Mysterious flickering lights are often seen here at night. However, officially it is a national park and one of the business cards of Serbia. Climbing the stairs to several observation decks, you will see fascinating fantastic rocks, constantly changing their shapes, from different sides. It would seem that there is no place for church buildings in the “devil’s” city, however, walking through the park, you will definitely come across a chapel and make sure that God has penetrated into this strange place.

When choosing the most interesting sights of Serbia to visit, go to the Nikola Tesla Museum, which opened in Belgrade in 1952.

Trams, trolleybuses, electric cars, subways, wireless control panels – all this is available, thanks to the genius of the scientist.

6. Resava cave (Despotovac)
The natural Resava Cave in eastern Serbia
Tourists who are thinking about what to see in Serbia can go to the Resava Cave, located in the eastern part of Serbia, 20 km from the town of Despotovac. It is located on a limestone hill with a height of 485 m. Some say that the cave is 45 million years old, while others believe that it is twice as old. Its formation began even before the Great Ice Age due to the chemical and mechanical action of an underground river running through limestone rocks. The cave was discovered only in 1962 and opened to the public in 1972, although shepherds with their sheep took shelter here in bad weather even earlier. The temperature in the cave is unchanged (– 7 ° C); at the same time, the humidity reaches 80-100%. Calcareous formations begin at the very entrance. Visitors move through the cave along a spiral concrete path. The trail passes through various halls on two levels (upper and lower galleries). The bottom of the cave runs at an altitude of 405 m. Four halls are open to the public in the upper gallery. In the third hall, the Vestibule of History, tools (a stone axe and spears), the skull of an Arctic fox and a prehistoric fireplace were found. The cave is included in the territory of a protected natural monument with an area of 11 hectares.
7. Drvengrad (Uzhice)
A unique ethnic village of Drevengrad on the picturesque Mokra Mountain
Looking for information about what to visit in Serbia and really be surprised by the strangeness of what you see, do not miss the materials about Drvengrad. This ethnic village was built quite recently, in 2004, by a man who wanted to live in the city of his dreams – the Emir of Kusturica himself. Drvengrad is not on any map, and even many Serbs are unaware of this miracle. You can get here on a retro train that appeared in the director’s film “Life as a Miracle”. This car moves at a speed of only 30 km / h, so tourists have time to admire the nature of the Balkans. After getting off at the Mokra Gora station, they get to Drvengrad. Rumors that the houses were built here without a single nail are just a myth, so the place looks much more comfortable than an ordinary Balkan village. Here Kusturica welcomes tourists, holds festivals and loudly declares its views. The streets and houses of the “city of dreams” are named after prominent people. Among them there is the Dostoevsky house and Tarkovsky Street. Walking along the wooden pavement of the ethnic village, you can meet colorful Serbian grandmothers offering sheep wool products to tourists.
8. Zika Monastery (Kraljevo)
The Crimson Monastery of Zika
Any excursions in Serbia consider this object to be a valuable point in tourist routes. The monastery of Zika (Zicha), built at the beginning of the XIII century, can be called a truly unique historical place. Stefan, the first autocrat of the country, was crowned here, and Serbia acquired the status of a kingdom. According to legend, a total of seven rulers of the country were crowned here. At the same time, after the end of the ceremony, the doors through which the new king passed were immediately sealed forever. Today, the Church of the Holy Savior, with its crimson color and its grandeur, reminds visitors of the invincibility of the spirit of Christians who gave their lives for the faith and willingly shed their blood for Serbia. A temple was built here under Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich, where during restoration a fresco with the image of the martyr Nicholas II was discovered, made fifty years before the official canonization of the murdered Russian tsar. Over the centuries, the monastery has suffered many troubles. Its buildings were constantly looted, burned by the Turks; it was almost destroyed by the Nazis. In 1987, part of the walls collapsed from the tremors of an earthquake. In 1999, NATO bombing almost completely destroyed the shrine. However, the monastery has survived, having received the status of a tourist attraction in Serbia. It is now home to more than 40 nuns.
9. Monastery of Manasia (Despotovac)
Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Manasia
Among the green hills of the bright Resava gorge, surrounded by magnificent towers of a medieval fortress, is the monastery of Manasia, built in the best traditions of Serbian architecture. The history of the holy place began in 1407. At that time, the ruler of the country Stefan Lazarevich decided to build a quiet, secluded holiday home. As a result, a magnificent monastic complex of a fortress of 12 surrounding towers appeared. Protected from the winds and bad weather by high hills, surrounded by beautiful nature, the monastery has become a real pearl of Serbian architecture, culture and art. Over the more than 600 years of its existence, the monastery has been destroyed many times. The most thorough restoration was carried out in 1956, but the restoration of the unique frescoes is still ongoing. Today you will see on them scenes from the life of Jesus Christ and the apostles, the faces of the prophets of the Old Testament, the image of Stephen himself with a scepter in one hand and a small model of the monastery in the other hand. Like many other sights in Serbia, the monastery has become an important cultural monument.

10. Petrovaradin Fortress (Novi Sad)
View of the fortress city of Petrovaradin
Customers who have contacted tour operators with a question about what to see in Serbia from the fortresses will certainly be advised to go to Novi Sad and visit Petrovaradin. This is the largest European fortress, fully built only at the end of the XVII century – the work lasted almost a century. As a result, a powerful complex with thick walls, towers, terraces, hidden loopholes, underground secret passages and galleries appeared. In the most prominent place, in an open square, the famous clock has been built, always showing the exact time. The captains of the ships passing along the Danube were guided by them. These watches have become the hallmark of the fortress – tourists who come to see the sights of Serbia must be photographed against their background. Petrovaradin is home to a museum and a military hospital. The peculiarity of the structure is the numerous shelters, wells and labyrinths invented to protect the fortress. These tunnels form a maze up to 20 km deep. The underground part of the fortress is still ready to serve as a shelter for 30,000 people. Today, a rock and pop music festival is held in the upper areas of the complex in the summer.

11. Smederevo fortress (Smederevo)
Medieval Smederevskaya fortress
The Smederevskaya fortress was built back in the XV century. It is said that the idea of its construction belonged to a woman, but this information seems to be just a beautiful legend. A huge fortress to protect the city of Smederevo, then practically the capital of the country, was built very quickly. This required extremely strenuous efforts, and the workers were exhausted to death, calling the construction site and the wife of the Serbian ruler, who ordered the work to be accelerated, “cursed.” Today the fortress is a masterpiece of Serbian medieval architecture. Permanent excavations are underway on its territory. Not so long ago, the tomb of an unknown noble lady decorated with jewels was unearthed in the basements of buildings. To this day, numerous adventurers are searching for treasures hidden (according to legend) in the walls of the fortress. If you are looking for adventures and are trying to find the sights of Serbia with a mysterious past, try your luck in search of treasures here.

The 82 – meter building itself is crowned with a 70-meter-high dome and a gilded twelve-meter cross. The central dome weighs 4,000 tons, and it took 40 days to lift it. It is planned that upon completion of the construction of the temple, its interior will be decorated with many mosaics, and the Central Dome will house the face of Christos Pantokrator. The surface of the temple is covered with white marble and granite, but the splendor of this Serbian landmark lies not in its size, but in its spiritual significance for the Balkan people.

Passenger train on the Shargan Eight railway in Serbia Herbert Ortner
Serbian historical, cultural and natural monuments are so diverse that every guest of the country can choose for himself the most attractive sights of Serbia. The presentation of this review concludes with another interesting object — a narrow-gauge railway passing right through the rock. At the beginning of the last century, the laying of this road began in Mount Shargan, and the purpose of the event was to connect Serbia with Bosnia. Hard work made it possible to pave almost 16 kilometers of road in the rock face, and to overcome the height difference, the path was laid along the slope with bends resembling an eight. Today, this narrow-gauge railway has become one of the most visited routes in the country. Croatia, the country of a thousand islands, is located next to Serbia in the west. While in Serbia, how about visiting this extraordinarily beautiful country? Read about the sights of Croatia and get inspired for your further journey through Europe!
