Why Serbia

Serbia offers travellers a distinctive mix of historic towns, architecture, museums and strong regional traditions. The country's best-known visitor experiences include Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zlatibor, making it suitable for sightseeing, culture and flexible multi-stop itineraries. Food is part of the experience too, with regional cuisine, bakeries, cafés and local markets. NO17 recommends allowing enough time for both headline attractions and slower neighbourhood, scenic or cultural experiences, while matching transport and daily pace to the season and travel group.
