Belgrade and Beyond: Cities and Everyday Life in Serbia

The capital of Serbia is Belgrade, a lively and beautiful city built where the Danube and Sava rivers meet. It is the largest city in Serbia, with around two million people living, working, and enjoying its parks, theaters, museums, and cafés. Belgrade is also the cultural and economic heart of the country.

Other Famous Cities

Besides Belgrade, Serbia has many other important and historic cities:

• Novi Sad – known for its music festivals and the Petrovaradin Fortress

• Niš – one of the oldest cities in Europe, with Roman roots

• Kragujevac – once the capital of Serbia in the 19th century

• Čačak – a city surrounded by mountains and full of stories

Most Serbian cities are filled with castles, fortresses, and memories of medieval battles. These old buildings help tell the story of how the country was formed and protected through the ages.
