Belgrade

Every year, more and more travelers are looking to get off the beaten track in Europe, seeking different, up-and-coming destinations to add to their lists. Croatia and Slovenia have seen a massive increase in tourism, especially since joining the EU. Their fairytale castles, stunning coastlines, and pristine nature parks appeal to many foreign tourists and are now becoming just as packed as their western European counterparts. For this reason, traveling in the Balkans has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the influx of Balkan tourism seems to be concentrated in countries with untouched Adriatic coastlines, meaning that landlocked nations like Serbia fall short on the international tourism scale. And this is a shame because Serbia, notably Belgrade’s capital city, is one of the best destinations to visit in all of Europe.
