Serbia Overview

 

Serbia is a house by the road, a crossroad of many ways, a place where Europe joins Middle East and Asia. In this house about 10 million people lives in harmony. Not only Serbs, but 37 nationalities! This diversity of people and cultures gives Serbia its strength and make its fortune.

Serbs are temperamental people who seem to have red wine instead of blood circulating in their veins. They can love and passionately defend their beliefs, tradition and history!

Speaking of honour, one of the best evidence it still exists in Serbia, are typical Serbian taverns, very specific for each town. Famous Serbian author ones wrote: “Tavern is for Serbs what square was for ancient Greeks. Belgrade is breezy city, springs are cold, autumns rainy, and summer sultriness unbearable. And, squares are not among the most beautiful in Europe. People gather on squares rarely, only in key historical moments. Therefore, for public life remained taverns, restaurants, bars and in newer time – cafés; those cradles that swayed away famous Belgrade spirit.”

Tavern is a special institution in Serbia. A place where you can feel the “pulse” of the nation: what people think and what intends to do. For centuries, in taverns governments have been destroyed, important political decisions have been made, honour has been defended… Even today, in taverns, Serbia lives a parallel, maybe shorter, but fare more exciting life!

This is the story of Serbia at the Balkans crossroads, warm country in the rose of cold winds, the country of wine and bread, the country which smells of a maiden's breasts and warm round bread as well, of good old home made brandy which is served for weddings by open - hearted and honest hosts. In her house by the road, she wrapped her hospitality in a fair heart, she blesses and welcomes invited and uninvited guests with a toast, because everybody is welcomed in Serbia!


Belgrade

Whenever and however you come, either by boat, by bus or by plane, you will feel the warm hand that has led it or held it up from ashes. While you take a walk through Kalemegdan or down Knez Mihajlova Street, or you are inspired by old Skadarlija life, you will realize it as a city which was built and grew up just as it suits human heart.

Danube

Monasteries

If you look for Serbia on geographical map, you will find it wound up at the crossroads: crucified among fertile plain in the North, spacious valleys in the South, mountain ranges in the West and abundance of water in the East. But you will find the real face of Serbia in the centre of the – Cross. It reflects there and it is also the source of its spirituality and beauty.
