Status Kosovo - danes večinsko albanska dežela, čeprav je bila v preteklosti del Srbije, in kraj bitke na Kosovu leta 1389, vse do danes zelo obremenjen dogodek, v katerem so bili srbski zagovorniki uničeni, a so tudi pobili večino napadalnih otomanskih sil in osmanskega sultana leta postopek - je v Srbiji, ki regije ne priznava kot neodvisno, precej sporen.

Razumeti

Srbi so toplo ljudstvo in prijazno do tujcev. Številni Srbi bodo govorili nekaj angleščine in jo bodo želeli vaditi (starejši pa bodo verjetno govorili nemško in / ali francosko), zato se boste lahko znašli, če boste vprašali navodila. Večina turistov pride v Srbijo poleti in na beograjskih ulicah pogosto slišite nemščino, italijanščino, francoščino in angleščino, medtem ko slovenski turisti točijo za novoletne praznike.

Podnebje

Na severu: celinsko podnebje (hladne zime in vroča, vlažna poletja z dobro porazdeljenimi padavinami); osrednji del: zmerno celinsko podnebje; in na jugu: vroča, suha poletja in jeseni ter razmeroma hladne zime z močnim sneženjem.

Geografija

Izredno raznoliko: na severu bogate rodovitne ravnice; na vzhodu, apnenčasti verigi in kotline; na jugovzhodu, starodavne gore in hribi. Čeprav je regija okoli mesta Mionica znana že po nekaterih potresih, ti nikakor niso bili uničujoči. Najvišja točka je Đeravica na 2656 m.

Zgodovina

Bilo jih je sedemnajst Rimski cesarji rojeni na ozemlju današnje Srbije, bolj kot v Galiji (Francija in Belgija), Iberija (Španija in Portugalska) ali dejansko na ozemlju katere koli druge sodobne države, vendar Italijain vsi so zapustili spomenike in zgradili palače v svojih rojstnih krajih ali blizu njih. Mogoče je, da najstarejša človeška naselja v Evropi, če ne celo na svetu, najdemo v državi Srbiji. Najdaljši odsek reke Donave, daljši kot v kateri koli drugi evropski državi, je v Srbiji. Ogromni hidroelektrarni Đerdap je ustvaril jezero, ki se razteza več kilometrov od kanjona Đerdap s svojo znamenito rimsko cesto na vzhod, ki jo je zgradil cesar Trajan.

Prva srbska država s tem imenom je bila ustanovljena konec 8. stoletja, v 12. stoletju je postala kraljevina, do sredine 14. stoletja pa se je razširila na imperij, ki je obsegal večino Balkana. Leta 1389 pa so Srbi na kosovskem polju izgubili odločilno bitko proti otomanski imperij. Srbiji je uspelo ohraniti svobodo še sedemdeset let, le da so jo Turki leta 1459 dokončno prevzeli.

Z več kratkimi vmesnimi vmesniki po 2-5 let in enim daljšim (1717-1739), ko je ozemlje Srbije južno od rek Donava in Sava je bil vključen v Avstrijsko cesarstvoje ostal pod osmansko oblastjo, dokler vstaja v zgodnjih 1800-ih ni prerasla v polno vojno (srbska revolucija ali prva srbska vstaja), ki je privedla do obnovitve srbske avtonomije leta 1815 in popolne neodvisnosti leta 1837. Vendar po 160 letih pod Turki (enako kot večina Hrvaške in Madžarske), Severna Srbija (Vojvodina) je bila pod avstrijsko oblastjo od devetdesetih let 20. stoletja.

Avstro-ogrska invazija na Srbijo leta 1914 po atentatu na nadvojvodo Ferdinanda s strani srbskega srednješolca je povzročila prva svetovna vojna. Po zmagi leta 1918 je zmagovita Srbija zbrala vse južnoslovanske dežele (Hrvaško, Slovenijo, Slavonijo, Dalmacijo, Bosno in Hercegovino ter Črno goro) v Kraljevino Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev; Ime države se je leta 1929 spremenilo v Jugoslavija. Invazija in okupacija Nemčije in Italije leta 1941 med druga svetovna vojna se je uprla Jugoslovanska vojska v domovini (četniki), ki ji je poveljeval generalpodpolkovnik Dragoljub Mihajlović in komunistična gverila (partizani), ki so se sčasoma začeli boriti med seboj in napadalci. Partizani, ki jim je poveljeval feldmaršal Josip Broz Tito, so zmagali in oblikovali začasno vlado, ki je monarhijo odpravila in republiko leta 1946 razglasila po dvomljivem referendumu. Po koncu vojne so državo zapustili skoraj vsi Nemci. Čeprav je bila prokomunistična, je nova vlada J. B. Tita v naslednjih štirih desetletjih in pol uspešno vodila svojo občutljivo pot med narodi Varšavskega pakta in Zahodom.

V začetku devetdesetih let se je po Titovi Jugoslaviji začelo razpletati po etnični pripadnosti: Slovenija, Hrvaška, in nekdanja jugoslovanska Republika Makedonija vsi so se ločili od Jugoslovanske zveze leta 1991; in Bosna in Hercegovina leta 1992. Vsa prizadevanja za ohranitev Jugoslavije so bila neuspešna in na Hrvaškem in v Bosni so se začele krvave državljanske vojne. Preostale republike Srbija in Črna gora so leta 1992 razglasile novo "Zvezno republiko Jugoslavijo" (ZRJ). Za prvega predsednika Srbije je bil izvoljen Slobodan Milošević.

Konec devetdesetih let je bil konflikt z albanskim separatističnim gibanjem v Ljubljani Kosovo vodil do bombne kampanje Nato in neposrednega posredovanja, zaradi česar je bilo Kosovo postavljeno pod upravo OZN. Slobodan Milošević, ki je bil v tem času izvoljen za predsednika zveze, je na zveznih volitvah jeseni 2000 izgubil proti Vojislavu Koštunici. Država je ponovno vzpostavila članstvo v OZN in začela s pripravami na vstop v EU.

Leta 2002 sta republiki Srbija in Črna gora začeli pogajanja za oblikovanje ohlapnejših odnosov, kar je najprej privedlo do spremembe imena države v "Srbija in Črna gora", nato pa vrhunec v Črna gora razglasitev neodvisnosti junija 2006. Kosovo enostransko razglasil svojo neodvisnost; vendar tega dejanja Srbija in številne druge države še vedno ne priznavajo.

Neodvisnost je prišla 4. Februarja 2003 (ko se je spremenila iz Zvezna republika Jugoslavija do Državna skupnost Srbije in Črne gore) ali 5. junija 2006 (ko je postala Srbija).

Državni prazniki

1. – 2. Januar (novoletni dan), 7. januar (vzhodno-pravoslavni božič), 14. januar (delovni dan) (pravoslavno novo leto), 27. januar (delovni dan) (praznik sv. Save), 15. – 16. Februar (Sretenje / Dan mraka (sveče) / srbski dan državnosti, veliki petek in velikonočni ponedeljek (po pravoslavnem koledarju), 1. – 2. Maj (praznik dela), 9. maj (delovni dan) (dan zmage), 28. junij (delovni dan) ( Vidovdan / dan svetega Vida) in 11. november (dan premirja) sta določena kot državna praznika. Večji maloprodajni obrati, kot so supermarketi in nakupovalna središča, ostajajo odprti vse te dni, razen 1. januarja in 7. januarja. Obstaja tudi več uradno določenih dni, ko imajo samo pripadniki nekaterih verskih manjšin pravico do prostega dne. V praksi to pomeni, da na najsevernejših območjih države, vključno z Subotica, kjer je veliko katoliškega prebivalstva, se številne trgovine po gregorijanskem koledarju zaprejo 25. decembra - na božični dan.

Ukrepi

Srbija, tako kot večina držav na svetu, uporablja Metrični sistem.

Vstopi

Zahteve za vstop

Prijava na policijo Tako kot sosednji Bosni in Hrvaški se tudi tujci po zakonu morajo prijaviti na policijski postaji v svojem okrožju v 12 urah po prejemu srbskega vstopnega žiga na mejnem prehodu ali letališču. Registracijo osebje hotela samodejno opravi ob prijavi; če pa bivate pri prijateljih v zasebnem stanovanju, morate svojo prisotnost prijaviti policiji v okrožju, v katerem prebivate. Prejeli bi spodnji del obrazca za registracijo tujcev, ki bi ga imeli s seboj, če se prijavljate na policijski postaji, ali izpis na recepciji hotela, če bivate v hotelu; ob izstopu iz države boste morda morali to predložiti mejni policiji. Včasih ga ne bodo zahtevali in lahko ga hranite kot administrativni spomin. Nikoli ne pozabite, da bi lahko registracija povzročila kazenski pregon in globo, čeprav se to redko izvrši.

Tuji državljani naslednjih držav / ozemelj lahko vstopijo v Srbijo brez vizumov (Spletna stran vlade):

• Za do 90 dni v 6 mesecih:Albanija, Andora, Argentina, Avstralija, Avstrija, Azerbajdžan, Bahrajn, Belgija, Bolivija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Brazilija, Bolgarija, Kanada, Čile, Kostarika, Hrvaška, Kuba, Ciper, Češka, Danska, Estonija, Finska, Francija, Nemčija, Grčija, Sveti sedež, Madžarska, Islandija, Irska, Izrael, Italija, Japonska, Latvija, Lihtenštajn, Litva, Luksemburg, Macau, Malta, Mehika, Moldavija, Monako, Mongolija, Črna gora, Nizozemska, Nova Zelandija, Severna Makedonija, Norveška, Oman, Peru, Poljska, Portugalska, Katar, Romunija, San Marino, Sejšeli, Singapur, Slovaška, Slovenija, Južna Koreja, Španija, Švedska, Švica, Tunizija, puran, Združeni Arabski Emirati, Združeno kraljestvo, Združene države, Urugvaj

Državljani naslednjih držav lahko vstopijo in ostanejo na mestu 90 dni v 6 mesecih z njihovo osebno izkaznico: Avstrija, Belgija, Bosna in Hercegovina, Bolgarija, Hrvaška, Ciper, Češka, Danska, Estonija, Finska, Francija, Nemčija, Grčija, Madžarska, Islandija, Irska, Italija, Latvija, Litva, Luksemburg, Malta, Črna gora, Nizozemska, Severna Makedonija, Norveška, Poljska, Portugalska, Romunija, Slovaška, Slovenija, Španija, Švedska, Švica, Združeno kraljestvo.

Veljavni imetniki vizumov in prebivalci držav članic Evropske unije in schengenskega območja ter ZDA lahko od novembra 2014 v Srbijo vstopijo brez vizuma za največ 90 dni v 180 dneh, pod pogojem, da vizum ostane veljaven celotno bivanje .

Srbija je sporočila, da obiskovalci s Kosovar vizumi ali potni listki v državo ne bodo smeli. Kaže pa, da bodo namesto tega vizumi in žigi pretirano žigosani z žigom "preklican". Vstop v Srbijo prek Kosova brez srbskega vstopnega žiga se šteje za nezakonit vstop in se lahko kaznuje s strogimi kaznimi; vendar odhod iz Srbije prek Kosova ni problem.

Carinske kontrole so dokaj enostavne, a pomembna uredba je, da lahko premikate le 120.000 Srbskih dinarjev (RSD) v državo in iz nje, bankovci, večji od 1000 RSD, pa se ne smejo premikati čez mejo. Skozi mejo lahko brez deklaracije pripeljete do 10.000 EUR. Ker so bančna nakazila iz Srbije še vedno težka, je gotovina še vedno najlažja možnost za srednje vsote.

Z vlakom

Železnica Budimpešta-Beograd je zaprta vsaj do leta 2022. Obvozne železniške poti so počasne in dolgočasne, vzemite avtobus.

Več mednarodnih vlakov (podnevi in ​​ponoči) povezuje Beograd z Avstrijo, Madžarsko, Slovenijo, Hrvaško, Črno goro, Severno Makedonijo, Romunijo in Bolgarijo. Glej Beograd # Z vlakom za podrobne informacije in cene. Vlaki v Romunijo, Bolgarijo in Severno Makedonijo pogosto zamujajo (približno eno uro) in naj bi bili pogosto sestavljeni iz starih, ne preveč udobnih avtomobilov. Vlaki so običajno zelo varni. Upoštevajte, da veliko vlakov čez noč prečka mejo sredi noči in cariniki ne bodo imeli skrupulov, da vas zbudijo.

Za vozne rede in vse ostale informacije poglejte spletno stran nacionalnega prevoznika Srbske železnice.

Poceni način potovanja v Srbijo ali iz nje je lahko Balkanski Flexipass.

Proga Beograd-Bar je ena najbolj slikovitih železnic v Evropi, z obilico predorov in mostov (vključno z Malo Reko, najvišjim železniškim mostom na svetu) in čudovitim razgledom na dinarske gore. Vsekakor se splača vzeti dnevni vlak.

Z avtom

Če je vaše vozilo registrirano in zavarovano v državi EU, ne potrebujete zelene karte. V nasprotnem primeru se prepričajte, da ima vaša zelena karta nepreklicano polje "SRB".

Policija je praviloma nameščena na večjih križiščih ali podhodih za nadzor prometa in hitrosti. Vozniki druge pogosto opozorijo na prisotnost policije tako, da dvakrat ali trikrat pritisnejo dolge luči. Policijski prestrezniki patrulirajo po vseh glavnih avtocestah. Vozniki, ki prehitro in / ali agresivno vozijo, se ustavijo. Hitrosti do 140 km / h v conah 120 km / h običajno prenašamo, vendar ne vedno.

Prometna zakonodaja je stroga. Nobena oseba, mlajša od 14 let, se ne sme voziti na sprednjem sedežu, varnostni pasovi so obvezni za vse potnike, vsebnost alkohola v krvi je omejena na 0,03%, globe pa se začnejo pri 30 EUR za manjše kršitve in znašajo do 60 dni zapora in € 5.000 zaradi povzročitve večje prometne nesreče (tako domačinov kot tujcev). Upoštevajte, da če boste nekoga ubili v nesreči, se zaporna kazen skorajda ne bo izognila. Če vozite po državnih in lokalnih cestah, bodite pozorni na kolesarje, traktorje in druge težke kmetijske stroje, še posebej ponoči! Lahko so brez ustrezne svetlobne signalizacije in jih je težko videti, zato ponoči upočasnite.

Avtocesta je plačljiva, vendar cestnina za tujce ni več višja kot za domačine. Cestnine za avtoceste v povprečju stanejo 0,03 EUR / km in jih je mogoče plačati v srbskih dinarjih ali evrih. Plačajo se po cestnem odseku, zato je možno plačati več, če se uporablja le del odseka. Glavne ceste in naseljena območja so dobro pokrita z bencinskimi črpalkami, ki vam ponujajo široko paleto pogonskih goriv (evrodizel, neosvinčeni bencin itd.) TNP niso tako številni, so pa v zadovoljivem številu na glavnih cestah in večjih mestih.

Telefonska številka Srbskega avto-moto združenja (AMSS) je 1987 in nudijo vse vrste storitev (informacije, vleka, popravila). Zasebne vlečne storitve so lahko drage, nekatere pa topo odvzemanje. Večina največjih avtomobilskih podjetij ima imenovane službe v Srbiji.

Z avtobusom

Dunaj - Avtobusi odhajajo z dunajskega mednarodnega avtobusnega terminala (Erdberg) skoraj vsak dan. Za destinacije južno od Beograda trenerji Zorana Reisena odpeljejo v petek ob 15:00 in enosmerno potovanje zaračunajo približno 45 EUR.

Obstajajo izleti z ladjo, ki gredo skozi Beograd. To so Trafalgar Tours v angleščini, ki križarijo po Donava in imajo dvodnevni postanek v Beogradu.

S palcem

Avtostop po Srbiji je še vedno sprejemljiv in večina voznikov vas bo obravnavala kot prijatelja. Vendar je treba še vedno sprejeti potrebne previdnostne ukrepe. Na splošno je skozi Vojvodino enostavno stopirati, veliko težje pa se je pripeljati iz Beograda na jug, na Kosovo ali severno Makedonijo in Črno goro. The Štoparski vodič po Srbiji ponuja zbirko nasvetov za avtostope za številna mesta v Srbiji. Izdelali so ga člani Serbia Travel Club, združenja neodvisnih popotnikov iz Srbije, na voljo pa je v angleščini in srbščini.

S kolesom

Kolesarska pot EuroVelo 6 ki teče od Atlantskega oceana do Črnega morja, prečka Srbijo po reki Donavi. Večina priporočenih poti sledi manjšim asfaltiranim cestam, smeri pa so jasno označene s posebno oznako EuroVelo 6.

Čeprav premalo mest ponuja ustrezne kolesarjem prijazne infrastrukture, kolesarjenje počasi pridobiva zanimanje med prebivalstvom kot ekonomski in trajnostni nadomestni način potovanja in vožnje.

Obiti

Z avtobusom

Najpogostejši in najprimernejši način vožnje po Srbiji je avtobus. Glej Potovanje z avtobusom po nekdanji Jugoslaviji za več informacij. Za vozne rede (čeprav ne cene) lahko preverite polazak.rs

Z vlakom

Vlaki v Srbiji so precej počasnejši kot večina zahodne / srednje Evrope, vendar so lahko precej slikovit način za ogled države. Na večini poti so vlaki tudi počasnejši od avtobusov, izjema so proge, ki vozijo od Beograda do Novega Sada in do hrvaške meje (Šid). Vendar so lahko veliko cenejši (do 40%). Vlaki so precej pogostejši pravočasno, vendar se je intenzivnost železniških storitev na večini prog zmanjšala (nekatere mednarodne proge so začasno ustavljene).

Večino voženj po železnicah vozijo novi vlaki (Stadler Flirt za elektrificirane proge in Metrovagonmash RA-2 za neelektrificirane, vendar lahko še vedno najdete nekatere starejše vlake, ki se uporabljajo na obrobnih progah (razred JŽ 412/416, narejen v Sovjetski zvezi). Union) in celo nekateri stari vzhodnonemški dizelski železniški avtobusi (Šinobus), slednji, večinoma v regionalni uporabi v Banatu, in bolj redni vlaki z lokomotivo, ki vozijo na mednarodne proge.

Vse vlake vozi potniška podružnica Srbskih železnic SrbijaVoz^{[mrtva povezava]}. (razpoložljivi vozni redi, čeprav so iz nekega razloga cene na voljo samo za določene poti. Za cene vlakov za vse poti lahko preverite polazak.rs . V krajih, kamor potujete, bi morali izbrati železniško postajo (označeno s simbolom vlaka in nato ŽS.

Vrste vlakov

V rednem potniškem prometu obstaja več vrst vlakov, vendar vrsta vlaka redko vpliva na dejanski čas potovanja ali hitrost vlaka. Nekoliko se razlikujejo tudi po cenah.

Brzi (Hitri) vlaki (označeni z B vozni redi), ki se teoretično ustavijo na manj postankih (čeprav to večinoma pomeni tiste najbolj obrobne).

RegioEkspres vlaki (označeni z Re vozni redi), ki se ustavijo na večini postaj (to običajno pomeni vse).

Ti dve vrsti vlakov imata dodatek, ki se doda vozovnici (50 RSD za potovanja do 50 km in 100 RSD za potovanja nad 50 km, za vlake Re in 100 RSD za vlake B)

Putniški (Potnik) (označeno z PT na vozni redi) vlaki, ki se ustavijo na vseh postajah in nimajo dodatka. Ta vrsta postaja vse bolj nenavadna, saj jo ŽS postopno opušča v korist vlakov Re.

Čas potovanja z vlakom in cene

Potovanje z vlakom v večini Srbije nikakor ne prihrani časa, čeprav je lahko zelo ugodna izbira za proračunske potnike. V vlakih B in Re sta (teoretično) dva razreda (1. in 2., 1. je 20% dražji)), čeprav je to vse bolj nesmiselno, saj imajo novi vlaki Stadler in Metrovagonmash zelo malo sedežev 1. razreda (4 v vsakem vlaku). , skoraj vedno pa jih prevzamejo dirigenti in njihovo premikanje je lahko izziv. Tudi na večini mednarodnih vlakov skoraj nikoli ni vozov prvega razreda.

Čas potovanja na večini linij je veliko daljši kot potovanje z avtobusom, številna mesta v osrednji Srbiji pa niso neposredno povezana z Beogradom (in načrtovalci voznih redov ne dajejo prednosti hitrim in enostavnim spremembam). Te razmere bodočemu popotniku z vlakom pustijo malo možnosti, da bi uživali v potovanju z vlakom do manjših mest.

Na splošno je lažje, ceneje in udobneje (in včasih tudi hitreje) z vlakom od Beograda do Novega Sada (~ 1½ ura vožnje, ~ 400 RSD v eno smer). Druga možnost je potovanje od Beograda do Niša, čeprav je to potovanje veliko daljše kot z avtobusom (~ 5½ ur v primerjavi s ~ 3 ure) in je lahko zelo neprijetno, če potujete v novejših vlakih Stadler, saj so bili njihovi sedeži zgrajeni za krajši čas potovanja (lahko je tudi zelo moteče, če sedite v popolnoma modernem vlaku z LCD zaslonom, ki vam neprekinjeno prikazuje hitrost vožnje 45 km / uro). Po drugi strani pa je to potovanje lahko zelo lepo in slikovito doživetje, če se na primer vozite z vlakom PT iz Zemuna (odhod iz postaje Beograd Center ob 15:22 in prihod ob 20:52 in stane 784 RSD) ki ga še vedno upravljajo stari kupeji in vlečena lokomotiva (in skoraj vedno povsem prazna (maj 2017).

Dolgotrajna sprememba (od osemdesetih let) železniških terminalov od Glavne železniške Stanice Beograd (Glavna železniška postaja Beograd) do Beograd Centar / Prokop (Beograd Center / Prokop) je zaključena (po voznem redu 2017/18). Zdaj so edini vlaki, ki končajo na glavni železniški postaji, mednarodni in nekaj B vlaki iz Subotice in Novega Sada. Težava tega je v tem, da je Beograd Centar večinoma neizgrajen, saj ima le perone in nobeno stavbno postajo ter je neslavno težko dostopen (kot radi pravijo domačini v Beogradu, do njega vozi le 1½ avtobusnih linij (ena od nikoder do nikamor in še en (zelo nepravilno) od nikoder do trga Slavija). Če greste slučajno iz Novega Sada, Subotice ali Šida, razmislite o izstopu iz vlaka v Novem Beogradu in se z avtobusom ali tramvajem do središča mesta. Ali lahko se odpeljete po mestni železnici (BG: Voz iz Beograda Centar bodisi do Novega Beograda ali Karađorđevega parka / Vukov spomenik, ki se nahajajo bolj centralno. Izogibajte se vlakom, ki prihajajo pozno ponoči, saj niti postaja Novi Beograd niti Beograd Center nista primerna ponoči in po 23:00 tam skorajda ni javnega prevoza. Beograd Centar je bil zgrajen kot železniško vozlišče jugoslovanskih železnic in je bil načrtovan za mnogo več in veliko večje vlake, ki jih vidi zdaj, zato bodite prepričani, da ste čaka na desni peronu in ostanite blizu sredine, ker lahko v nasprotnem primeru zamudite vlak.

Vozovnice morate kupiti na železniški postaji, preden se vkrcate na vlak (razen če je okno z vozovnicami zaprto (običajno le zelo pozno ponoči in nikoli v glavnih mestih). Vozovnica velja za določen vlak, ne (kot je to običajno v zahodnih državah) Evropa, črta), tako da hop-on hop-off ne morete.

The cashiers usually speak little English, so you should have a peace of paper with your destination written on it, and if you don't want to the next train, the number of that train. The cashier will sometimes ask you if you want a reservation, and if you speak no Serbo-Croatian, they will usually put it without asking. This reservation costs 110 RSD, and has no real purpose, as it only guarantees you a seat, and trains are almost never full (except the Belgrade-Novi Sad line). Also, even if you have it, conductors can be unwilling to fight other passengers to give you the seat, and you can bet that no one on the train will have a reservation for a particular seat you take. If you don't wish to take the reservation you should just say bez rezervacije (bez rezervatsiye) when buying a ticket.

The official Serbian language is similar to Croatian and Bosnian. Before the era of nationalist linguistic policies and the breakup of the former Yugoslavia, all of those dialects were all known as Serbo-Croatian. Today, people in the former Yugoslavia no longer use this general term for what remains a common language.

English is commonly spoken by younger adults throughout Serbia and they are also quite willing to practise it with foreigners. You can also try with German, French, Russian, Spanish or Italian which are taught in school.

If you speak Rusko or other Slavic languages such as Bulgarian and Macedonian, it can prove to be occasionally helpful for you, as the those languages have some similarities with Serbian. Older people may speak Russian as it was taught as a compulsory second language in school during the communist era, though it has been largely supplanted by English among the younger generation.

In Vojvodina, most people speak Serbian, but other languages are also used. In some towns near the Hungarian border, you are more likely to hear Hungarian. There are many smaller minorities (Slovaks, Romanians, Roma people), who often speak their native languages.

Within the fort is a zoo, a military museum, a couple churches rich in history, galleries, parks, sports fields, etc. It has a multitude of various towers and ports, and two long walking/biking paths along both rivers. Other Belgrade sights include the modern Temple of Saint Sava, Narodni muzej in Old Court Palace. The river island Ada Ciganlija has an artificial lake and an 8 km long gravel beach, and is a close option if one doesn't want to bathe in pools. Should one want the contrary, Tasmajdan park is, along with the famous church of St. Mark, filled with pools and even houses a water polo team. It's a lively place with lots of sports and entertainment, cafes and restaurants, some of which are opened the whole year round. Zemun, now part of the Belgrade urban area, developed under Hungarian and later Habsburg influence for most of its history and is a pleasant area with a distinct feeling dissimilar to Belgrade. It offers plenty of entertainment and restaurants on its Zemun quay, on the bank of the Danube.

Novi Sad is another delightful city, with the Petrovaradin Fortress (one of the greatest and best preserved 18th-century fortresses in Europe) as its main sight. The city also has a number of lovely parks that just ask for a long afternoon stroll or picnic. Sremski Karlovci near Novi Sad has a rich history, numerous monuments, museums, churches, galleries and famous wine cellars.

Very nearby is the traditional village of Drvengrad, poznan tudi kot Mećavnik, which the Serbian film director Emir Kusturica built for his film Življenje je čudež. After you see the villages, Zlatibor offers some great ski-resorts, hiking trails and landscapes. Or hop on the Šarganov osem, a narrow-gauge heritage railway running from Mokra Gora to Šargan Vitasi station (Zlatibor and Tara mountains). When it comes to the number of bridges and tunnels, and the rise of 18 per thousand, Sargan Eight is unique in Europe and a ride on the 8-shaped track is a popular pass time for tourists.

Samostani

Serbia is home to a great number of Medieval orthodox monasteries, many with excellent fresco masterpieces inside. The 12th-century monastery of Studenica (blizu Kraljevo) is one of the finest examples and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its two churches are built in white marble and boast some stunning 13th and 14th century Byzantine paintings. Žiča, also near Kraljevo, was founded around 1207 and painted red as a symbol of the blood of the martyrs of the early Christian church. The frescos at Sopoćani (blizu Novi Pazar) are considered some of the finest examples of their time, and the monastery is on the World Heritage list together with ruins of ancient Stari Ras, once the capital of the Serbian state of Raška but deserted in the 13th century. Utrdeno Manasija monastery near Despotovac is protected by massive walls and towers, and although much of its original frescos were damaged beyond repair during the Ottoman rule, it's still well worth a visit. In the beautiful Kučaj mountains, Ravanica blizu Ćuprija was assaulted, damaged and rebuilt time and again during history. It is the burial place of Lazar of Serbia, who is a saint of the orthodox Serbian church and a hero in Serbian epic poetry. Other fine monasteries include the Mileševa monastery near Prijepolje, with its world famous "White Angel" fresco, and Krušedol blizu Srem. The famous medieval monasteries were protected by UNESCO are: The Pec Patriarchate (monastery), Gracanica monastery, and the monastery of Visoki Decani.

National parks

Of the several national parks and natural areas in the country, Fruška Gora is undoubtedly one of the best. Dotted with ancient monasteries and wineries, it combines orchards and vineyards on its vast plains with tight forests on its plains. The Tara National Park covers some 20,000 hectares in the west of the country. There, the steep gorges of the Drina river and the high mountain peaks provide some stunning views that make a long hike well worth your effort. The mountainous landscape of Kopaonik, in the south, offers some great ski and snowboard opportunities, great views and a rich flora.

Largest national park in the country is Đerdap in the eastern part of the country, on the border with Romania. It consists of the Djerdap (Iron Gate) gorge thru which the river Danube runs and its beautiful surroundings of almost untouched nature. It is simply breathtaking and best experienced from a boat cruise. It can be also toured by bus or a car with many belvederes to stop and enjoy its views. EuroVelo 6 cycling route also runs through it.

Spas and resorts

Serbia is the land of spas. There are many thermal and mineral water springs and most of them are turned into healing and resting resorts.Vrnjačka Banja is the largest and most popular of them and is traditionally very attractive tourist resort for rest and recreation. It's the only mineral spa with a water temperature to match that of the human body, 36.5 °Celsius. Sokobanja is another famous spa and tourist place in Serbia known for its moderate continental climate and untouched nature - immense surfaces of woods, fresh air and a lot of thermo-mineral sources. Palić is a lovely city in the north. Its baroque parks, monuments of art nouveau architecture and a long tradition in catering made it a fashionable summer resort and spa for the 19th and 20th century elite.

Arheološka najdišča

Viminacij near the village of Stari Kostolac is an important archaeological site and was Serbia's first excavation project in the 1880s. It was once the provincial capital of the Roman province of Moesia (today's Serbia) and dates back to the 1st century. At the site you'll find archaeological remains of temples, streets, squares, a large amphitheatre, palaces, hippodromes and Roman baths. Another major archaeological site (and doubling as a spa) is that of Gamzigrad. It hosts the remnants of an ancient Roman complex of palaces and temples called Felix Romuliana, and is considered one of the most prominent and best preserved late-Roman sites.

Lepenski Vir, situated in national park Đerdap, 160 km east of Belgrade, between towns of Golubac and Donji Milanovac, is the site of oldest neolithic settlement in Europe and is part of UNESCO world heritage. It is very well preserved and famous for its fish-like sculptures. From neolithic period there is also an archaeological site Vinča, less spectacular though, but a must - see. It is in Belgrade suburb of Vinča, 20 km from city centre.

Sremska Mitrovica is a town over the remainings of Sirmium, a provincial capital of the rimsko cesarstvo, destroyed in attacks by Avars in 505 AD. The remainings are under the whole town, but there are exposed excavations on several places. Ten Roman emperors were born in or around Sirmium. It was the capital of the Panonnia province and the Praetorian prefecture of Illyricum.

Ada Ciganlija is also an excellent place to kick back and relax during summer. It is as locals call it the sea of Belgrade. A lot of sport fields and courts (soccer, basketball, golf, volleyball, etc.) Cafés serving ice cream and beer abound on the banks of this lake-beach park.

A favorite leisure activity in Belgrade is drinking coffee in numerous bars, bistros and cafés (especially in Strahinjića Bana street, which is known locally as Silicon Valley). It is very strange, but most of places are occupied all day long - i.e., within working hours. You should check: Downtown café, Buka bar, Movie bar, Iron café, Biblioteka café, Monza café-boat, Bibis café-boat, and many more; People who are not in the folk and MTV music, and don't like to drink overpriced coffee, should avoid this street. There are coffee bars on almost every corner in Belgrade, which offer more relaxed atmosphere and are designed with more taste that those in Strahinjića Bana street.

Smederevo is a town about 50 km from Belgrade. There are direct bus lines almost every half an hour and it takes about one hour to get there from Belgrade. It is considered as the unofficial rock 'n' roll capitol of Serbia because of its many rock musicians and bands who live there or were born there. See the largest lowland medieval fortress in Europe (especially at night when its lights give a special romantic and mystical atmosphere) or go to a rock concert at "Moto Club Street Fighter" which is on the bank of the Danube. At the end of September, the town hosts a traditional festival called "Smederevska Jesen" (Smederevo Autumn) which is a festival of vine and Serbian culture with many concerts and other happenings. During the festival, there is a carnival at the end of the town, but avoid it because it's loud and crowded and basically, there's nothing to see or do. Just stay in the town center. The Museum of Smederevo holds a lot of Roman and medieval items and collections, so for history lovers, it's a must-see.

novo letni večer

Restaurants, clubs, cafés and hotels are usually full-booked and organize New Years celebrations with food and live music.

However, Serbian New Year's celebrations are most known for the outdoors festivities in Belgrade, and several other major cities such as Novi Sad, Niš and Jagodina. As of mid-December, cities are extensively decorated and lit. The decorations remain until way into January due to the persistent influence of the old Julian calendar. Throughout the region, especially amongst former Yugoslav republics, Belgrade is known as the place to be for major parties, concerts and happenings. It has become common for large groups of Slovenes to visit their former capital and celebrate the beginning of a new year. Especially since the mid-1990s, street celebrations grew into mass gatherings with hundreds of thousands of people, celebrating New Year on one of several locations throughout Belgrade.

Also, on January 14, Serbians celebrate the so-called Serbian New Year, which is New Year's Eve by the Eastern Church calendar. In the night between January 13 and 14, you can re-live New Year's Eve.

Exchange rates for Serbian dinari Od januarja 2020: US$1 ≈ RSD105 €1 ≈ RSD120 UK£1 ≈ RSD140 Tečaji nihajo. Trenutne cene za te in druge valute so na voljo pri XE.com

The currency in Serbia is the dinar (denoted by РСД ali динар, pl. dinari/динари). The USO currency code is RSD. Coins are minted in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 dinars, and banknotes are printed in values of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 dinars. The banknotes tend to be more common than the coins, so be prepared to carry around a large number of banknotes in varying conditions.

Serbian taxis, street vendors, and small restaurants will rarely have change for the larger denominations (especially 5000 notes). Travelers would be wise to spend these at department stores or large grocery stores to keep an adequate supply of small notes on hand .

Money can be exchanged at official exchange offices, locally called menjačnica, often carrying the emblem of the National Bank of Serbia outside the building. The rates here are usually better than those of the banks. It is much easier to convert euros or other major currencies. There are many ATMs, which accept foreign bank and credit cards without a glitch. Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard and Maestro are widely accepted. However, American Express and Diners Club cards are rarely accepted. Likewise, traveller's cheques are not a well known form of payment in Serbia and cashing them in could present a challenge.

The dinar is not widely convertible outside Serbia; re-convert your remaining dinars to Euros or other major currencies before leaving the country.

Old Yugoslavian currency can be purchased from street sellers. A RSD 500,000,000,000 note makes an interesting souvenir. At Kalemegdan, near the fortress in Belgrade, you can pick up a set of 10 banknotes from the hyperinflation era for RSD 600.

The euro is occasionally accepted, but prices are often higher when directly compared to the dinar. Belgrade is typically on par with prices in many European cities; however, outside the capital, prices of almost any item are a lot lower than in the capital.

Money changers may refuse worn-out or damaged foreign banknotes, especially US dollars, therefore it is recommended to bring notes only in good condition. Banks usually accept slightly damaged notes, sometimes with a commission.

Gas stations close to borders sometimes accept foreign currencies.

Prekuhavanje

Nasveti are never considered a strict obligation since service charges are always included in the bill, however rounding up or leaving a tip (10-15%) is common in restaurants (not in fast-food restaurants) if the customer is satisfied with the service. Tips are also accepted in bars and taxicabs (usually by rounding up the amount paid - e.g. if the taximeter displays RSD 592, give 600).

Nakupovanje

Imported western food is available in many supermarkets, especially in the "Idea" chain.

In nearly all Serbian pharmacies (apoteka), you can buy prescription drugs without prescription.

Prices tend to be on par with the rest of the Balkans. However, import taxes make clothes and shoes in Serbia very expensive.

Serbian food is a typical Balkan mix of Central European, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. Serbs are very proud of their food, which is heavy on grilled meats and sausages, local cheeses and bread. Serbia is predominantly a meat-loving nation. In all major cities, there are many international restaurants, such as Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Thai, Lebanese. In Belgrade you can even find sushi or kosher food.

There are international fast-food franchises such as McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut. On the whole, prices are cheap compared to Western Europe with main dishes ranging from €5–20 per person.

Typical Serbian foods

Most Serbian restaurants offer roštilj, a large plate of various grilled meats, or any possible variety of grilled chicken wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese. It is possible to order fresh salads, plates of grilled vegetables, crepes, or omelettes if you are not carnivorous. Serbian cuisine is famous for its heavy use of varied vegetables, fresh or cooked.

Bakeries – called pekara – are ubiquitous in the city center, and you will find a wide assortment of breads, sweet and savoury pastries, sandwiches, and pizza. Some are open 24 hours per day. A snack or light meal of pastry and drinkable yoghurt (similar to kefir but milder) will give you an added healthy boost when walking about the city center.

Turkish delicacies such as baklava, tulumba, and other sweet treats are also commonly found.

Foods that vegetarians and meat eaters alike should try include kajmak (something between cream cheese and butter) and ajvar, a savory spread made out of roasted red peppers. It is also worth visiting a pijaca (green market) to buy some fresh fruit, vegetables and other grocery items.

Pljeskavica (pronounced approximately: PLYES-ka-vitsa) is the Serbian version of a hamburger which can be purchased from fast food restaurants.

The most famous dish in Serbia is ćevapčići (pronounced: chay-VAH-pee, chay-VAP-chitchee). Also called Ćevapi, they are a traditional food eaten throughout the Balkans. It consists of different types of minced meat (pork and beef) mixed together, shaped like small sausages, and then put on the grill. It is usually eaten with diced onion, and is very tasty. Depending on size, a portion of ćevapčići in a somun (pita bread), possibly with onion, ajvar or kajmak, is between €1.5 and €4.

Do not forget to taste the Karađorđeva Šnicla. It is meat that is filled with kajmak and bacon, and then pan-fried. It is another traditional Serbian dish that honors the leader of the first Serbian uprising against the Ottomans.

Try other traditional Serbian dishes, such as pečenje (roast pork or lamb), veal soup, and fish soup.

Numerous fast-food stands (burgers, barbecue, pizza, hot dog, pancakes...) and bakeries (Asian and European pastry, pitas...) are usually very good and will satisfy your needs at a reasonable price. Pizza, sandwiches, and pancakes (crepes) are also commonly found. Salads are primarily tomato, cucumber, and onion, or cabbage. Local produce is fresh and organic.

Serbian-style coffee

Coffee culture in Belgrade is particularly developed; walking about the central areas of the city you will find sprawling terraces and cafés, serving all types of coffee and sweets, particularly Viennese type cakes and local specialties. Be sure to try Serbian Turkish-style coffee, and chestnut purée with whipped cream, a local specialty especially at Republic Square (available mostly during winter).

Ostani varen

Serbia is generally a safe place to visit. The locals are incredibly polite and helpful in case you require any assistance. (If you need any help finding/reaching a place, it's best to ask a younger person for help, as they are more likely to speak English.) However, you should always be aware of pickpockets, mainly in crowded tourist places and on public transportation. Street robberies, murders, or attacks are highly unusual, even in dark or remote parts of a city/town. One should always watch out for drivers, who can be very rude to pedestrians or cyclists. There is also widespread intolerance against homosexuals.

Emergency phone numbers are: 192 - police; 193 - fire dept. and 194 - ambulance.

Following the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, reports of UXOs (unexploded ordnances) have occurred outside the major cities. Keep an eye out for markings which may note a potential UXO zone when outside the cities and always stick to well-trod paths. If you find a suspicious object resembling a bomb/mortar/landmine, ne touch it. Report it to the nearest police station immediately. Although most or UXOs have been cleared, it is also very unlikely that you will find any of those, even in the least visited parcels of Serbia.

Ostani zdrav

Voda iz pipe is perfectly safe to drink, and mainly of a good quality, too. There are also many springs and fountains with excellent-quality drinking water - the most popular ones being the fountain on Knez Mihailova in Belgrade, and the many fountains in the city of Nis.One must pay attention when it comes to water in Vojvodina. Some regions (like Kikinda and Zrenjanin) have heavily polluted water that is not even used for cooking, only as technical water.

Spoštovanje

Serbs are a very friendly, polite and hospitable people, especially in the southern parts of the country.

When you are invited into a Serbian home, make sure to bring them a gift if you are coming for the first time. Anything is fine from flowers to chocolate or something representative from your country. When you arrive at a rural house, take off your shoes unless the owner explicitly tells you to keep them on. When inside the house, don't ask for anything, for they will surely offer it. If you are thirsty it is polite to ask for a glass of water. The host probably forgot to offer you a drink and will do so.

In a bus or a tram it is considered polite to offer an elderly person or a pregnant woman a place to sit.

Because many Serbs feel frustrated by the 1990s Yugoslavian Wars or the NATO bombing of Serbia, it is best to avoid discussion of them. If someone brings the topic up, try to avoid giving any strong opinions until you can assess your acquaintance's views. Do not voice support for Kosovo independence. The US's vocal support of Kosovar independence, in addition to the 1999 air strikes caused some ill will directed towards the West, particularly towards the US (though this is rarely extrapolated to individual Americans). However, if you share the views of most Serbs, some may be willing to discuss the subject and many will be happy speaking to a Westerner who shares their views.

On the other hand, talking about Socialist Yugoslavia and Tito will not raise as many eyebrows, as most will not hesitate to talk about it and some may even approach it with a strong degree of affection towards that stabler and more peaceful era. Serbia does not recognize the independence of Kosovo but maintains relations with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.

Similar to other ex-Yugoslavia countries, Serbs do not like their country to be described as part of "Eastern Europe". A common misconception is that Serbia was part of the Soviet Bloc (in fact, it was part of Yugoslavia, which split with the Eastern bloc in 1948). While in other nations of Eastern Europe Russia remains unpopular due to its influence over those nations during the Cold War, in Serbia Russians were always seen as friendly brotherly people. People have no problems talking about the communist period or Tito and often express nostalgia over it.

When toasting in Serbia, as in most European countries, make sure you make eye contact. You may be invited to drink gallons but are expected to be able to hold your drink. Being obviously drunk is a sign of bad taste, lack of character, and worse. Be careful: "rakija", a plum spirit (usually about 53% alcohol content), is stronger than you might expect, and will make you drunk fast! It is always nice to toast in your companion's native tongue. Na zdravje je živeli in Serbian.

Don't point with your finger at someone. This is considered rude.

Socially, displays of affection among the younger generation are as in Western Europe, but the older generation (over 65) is quite conservative.

Beseda molim (please) is key to polite conversation in Serbian. It basically means prosim, ampak tudi you're welcome, an appropriate response when somebody thanks you (and says hvala). It also means I beg your pardon?. Just saying Šta? (What?) can sound rude. It may be said that the use of the word molim is similar to the use of bitte v nemščini.

Like most European languages, Serbian has formal and informal ways of saying ti (Vi in ti). Use the formal Vi version when addressing older people. People are normally not addressed or referred to by their first names, unless among friends or relatives.

There are three GSM/UMTS mobile phone networks in Serbia: MTS, Telenor and Vip. Prepaid SIM cards usually cost RSD 200-300 and there is no need for identification when buying them at a store in person. Most small stores and kiosks that sell newspapers and cigarettes in Belgrade offer the SIM cards. A good option (as of April 2018) is the VIP 7-day card for 300RSD including 8GB of LTE Internet (but no call or SMS credit).

But you need to have a valid Serbian ID for online order of prepaid SIM card from Telenor (the only operator known which takes online orders).

In some stores you can buy a simple mobile phone packaged with prepaid SIM card for RSD 2000–3000.

Most hotels have internet connections, and plenty of restaurants have Wi-Fi hotspots.
