The Belgrade Fortress (Belgrade Fortress) is the core historical landmark of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the strategic highland at the intersection of the Sava and Danube rivers, known as the "key of the Balkans". Its history dates back to the early fortifications built by the Celtic in the 3rd century BC, and was later rebuilt and competed for many times by Rome, Byzantine, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and was listed as a special protected cultural relics of Serbian state level in 1979. As a strategic fortress in Europe, the fortress of Belgrade witnessed more than 2000 years of conflict and integration: from the Roman Legion garrison, Ottoman siege, to the fire of modern world wars, the masonry structure of its city walls clearly presents the architectural technology of different periods. Known as "open-air history textbook". The Sava River and Danube River interchange have a wide view and are the best place to take a panoramic view of the city; the classic seat is next to the Victors Memorial. It is recommended to go in the evening and enjoy the sunset on the riverside.
Take a taxi to the Belgrade Fortress for sightseeing. This fortress is located at the junction of the Sava River and the Danube River. Seeing the castle walls and the cast iron bridge leading to the city gate, it seems to have returned to the smoke-filled era. This fighting nation is worthy of its name...

The Wooden Village is a film base built by the famous Serbian director Emir Kusturica for the filming of the movie "Life is a Miracle". The strong artistic atmosphere allows people to feel the fusion of film and reality here and experience a different way of vacation.
The Wooden Village is a very famous attraction in the town of Zlatibor.
The scenery here is nice and the environment is pleasant. It is a base built for filming movies. All the buildings are made of wood, so it is called the Wooden Village. It is now a resort.

St. Sava's Cathedral is one of Belgrade's top landmarks and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. Its stunning white exterior and huge dome can be seen in all corners of the city. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the catacombsit is beautifully decorated with golden mosaics and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s an ideal place to learn about history, culture and take amazing photos. Parking on the surrounding streets is paid and it’s hard to find a space. It's worth seeing, it's definitely worth seeing.
amazing so beautiful and worth to spend a few hours exploring.i like the fact candle burning is done outside hence preserving paintings.The tiling and mosaic work is just outstanding.

In front of the site of the former Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, there are stone tablets commemorating the three Chinese journalists who died. We came here to pay homage to the heroes who are sleeping in a foreign country, and never forget the national humiliation! The new "Chinese Cultural Center" building was built on the site, reflecting the rise of the Chinese people.
As time goes by, the traces of the ruins of the Chinese Embassy in the former Yugoslavia will never be erased, and NATO's atrocities are still vivid in people's minds. Although high-rise buildings have been built on the ruins, it still reminds people of the martyrs.

The street is beautiful and suitable for walking. How can you go to Belgrade without a stroll? It is very lively and people are still busy until after midnight so it feels very safe whenever you come. The restaurant is open late and the cafe is open early so you can always find a place to sit and hang out. If you are in Belgrade, this is definitely a must! A beautiful trail lined with ancient buildings, shops, restaurants and cafes. It's bustling, the locals are enjoying life, and they're dressed properly. It's so vibrant and vibrant!
【Knez Mihailova Street】
Knez Mihailova Street
Knez Mihailova Street is connected to the Karamegdan Castle at one end and the Republic Square (Trg Republika) at the other end. It is the most central commercial street in Belgrade, just like the Champs Elysees in Paris. If you choose to stay, staying near here is the best choice. There are some alternative street performers during the day, and the surrounding bars will be very lively after the shops close at night.
The street consists of a large number of buildings from the reign of the Obrenovic and Karajolyević dynasties. The street is about 700 meters long and connects Kalemegdan to other parts of the city. The performances of street singers add to the overall atmosphere of the walk. There are many cafes and restaurants on this street, serving traditional Serbian food. The crowd is densest in the evening.

Located in the small town of Zlatibor in southwestern Serbia. In the border river between Serbia and Montenegro. In the past, people spent the summer in the river and stayed there for fun. It was not built by Milutinovic's nephew as the legend goes.
The river hut is a landmark building in Serbia and also a popular tourist attraction. It was built by people who often swim in the river as a resting place. The guardian is the nephew of the former national football coach Milu...
In winter, when you come to the river hut and see the blue-green color of the river and the whiteness of the snow, it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking. It seems that time has stopped at this moment. No one around is there. Only you are looking at it. It is so beautiful...

The museum exhibition is very well organized. On the ground floor you can see different archeological items found over centuries, as well as coins and banknotes used in Serbia throughout history. The first floor has art from different periods(permanent exhibition), and the last floor is where the temporary exhibitions are situated. The cheaper ticket is 300 dinars, and the entrance is free.on Sundays. The staff is welcoming amd helpful. Taking photos is allowed, but you need to leave your coat, umbrella, backpack, etc. in the wardrobe.
It is right next to the square. I have forgotten what the statue means, but the ice cream in the square is delicious. We saw many refugees here. If national stability is a blessing, this moment deeply touched us.

It's a very old train, each carriage is different, the scenery along the way is pretty good, but there are many caves. If you can't buy a seat ticket during holidays, you can stand at the connection of the carriages to take pictures for a better view (the front of the train is too noisy). Ordinary people can't tell the difference between wide gauge and narrow gauge. The journey is too long and it will be a bit boring later.
Zlatibor is a small town in southwestern Serbia. It is a filming location. A 8-shaped train line was built there. It stops running in winter due to snow. There is also a unique small train station.

Petrovaradin Fortress: A Historical Treasure on the Danube
Located in Novi Sad, Serbia, Petrovaradin Fortress stands majestically on the right bank of the Danube and is known as the "Gibraltar on the Danube". This magnificent military fortress was built in the 17th century and expanded during the Austro-Hungarian Empire to become one of the strongest fortresses in Europe.
Main Features:
- Spectacular Architecture: The fortress covers a vast area, has thick walls, a maze of underground passages (up to 16 kilometers long) and solid fortifications, demonstrating the exquisite craftsmanship of 18th-century military engineering.
- Iconic Clock Tower: The clock tower on the top of the fortress is the symbol of Novi Sad. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the hour and minute hands work in opposite directions - the long hand points to the hours and the short hand points to the minutes, so that boatmen on the river can identify the time from a distance.
- Excellent viewing platform: Standing on the top of the fortress, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Danube and the old town of Novi Sad. The red roofs and the river complement each other, and the scenery is particularly charming at sunset.
- Cultural and vibrant center: Today, the fortress is not only a historical site, but also a gathering place for art and music. The "EXIT Music Festival" held every summer attracts music fans from all over the world and rejuvenates the ancient city walls.
Petrovaradin Fortress combines history, architecture and modern culture, and is one of the most unmissable attractions in Serbia.
Located in Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, it is one of the three major attractions in Novi Sad (Petrovaradin Fortress, Freedom Square, and Red Wine Town). You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river and the houses with red roofs.
