There is something exciting and intriguing about Belgrade. In Belgrade, the Sava river unreservedly surrenders to the Danube, and the calm and flat Pannonian plain slowly begins to \u201cwave\u201d and grow into hills and mountains. Located at the crossroads of cultural influences, it is a city that never rests. The secret of its charm is in its acceptance of various, sometimes opposing ideas and world views. You recognise the spirit of Belgrade on its streets, in its architecture, monuments, picnic areas, and above all in the hospitality and openness of its people.<\/p>\n

The second largest city in Serbia has been declared the European Capital of Culture for 2022. The wide plain through which the Danube casually flows was fertile ground for the creation of a broad-minded city, in which monuments of different cultures and religions are harmoniously intertwined.<\/p>\n

If you want to feel the true spirit of southern Serbia, you need to visit Ni\u0161. Life with \u201cmerak\u201d – taking pleasure from the small things in life, needs to be experienced to be fully understood. Numerous historical traces dating back to the era of ancient Rome, monuments of strong symbolism and testimony to the dramatic reversals of world trends have not prevented the people of Ni\u0161 from developing a special art of enjoying and finding what is good in the present Roman Emperor Constantine the Great was born in Naissus, today\u2019s Ni\u0161, and he is known for passing the Edict of Milan, by which Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. The remains of a luxurious suburb from the time of his reign can be seen at the archaeological site of Mediana from the 4th century.<\/p>\n
Suva Planina mountain, the Ni\u0161ava river and the Si\u0107eva\u010dka and Jela\u0161ni\u010dka gorges seem to have been created for an action film. Indulge in rafting, paragliding, hiking and many other activities. In the Si\u0107eva\u010dka gorge there is the Hydroelectric Power Plant \u201cSt. Petka\u201d, built at the beginning of the 20th century according to the project of famous Serbian scientist Nikola Tesla and his colleague \u0110or\u0111e Stanojevi\u0107, which still supplies Ni\u0161 with elec- tricity to this day. There is a monument to Serbian heroes from the First Serbian Uprising in 1804. on \u010cegar Hill. After the battle, out of revenge, the Ottomans built a terrifying Skull Tower with the skulls of the killed Serbian warriors.

This water giant, the largest in Europe after the Volga, is indeed cosmopolitan – at home in four European capitals and as many as ten countries. It feeds on tributaries of fresh ideas from vibrant cities as it tours the remains of Neolithic culture, Roman cities and medieval fortifications on its shores. On its way through Serbia, the Danube performs incredible stunts: it spills its waters in the Pannonian plain, wanders through the dense forests and marshes of the \u201cBa\u010dko Podunavlje\u201d<\/p>\n
UNESCO nature reserve, glides along the sandy banks and rivers, plays around the mountain range of Fru\u0161ka Gora, and becomes the sea near Deliblatska Pe\u0161\u010dara sands. The most dramatic transformation of the Danube is near Golubac, where it plunges into the straits of the Carpathian Mountains, creating enchanting scenes<\/p>\n

Down the Danube, you sail to the prehistoric era and the cultural centre of the oldest Europe, to the remains of the famous culture of Lepenski Vir, 8 millennia old, and the Vin\u010da culture, more than 7 millennia old. Throughout history, the Danube has been a line of connection, but also of separation, facilitating the exchange of goods and keeping the opposing sides on different banks. Sailing through Serbia, you follow the course of history, in which you can recognise the traces of the Celts, Romans, Byzantines, the first Slavs, the medieval Serbian and Hungarian states, the Ottomans, the Austrian Empire and the modern Serbian state. International cruisers that stop at several ports give you an opportunity to experience this river directly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
