Best Boutique Hotels in Serbia
Inland in the southeast of Europe, lies the Balkan nation of Serbia. An excellent choice for those wishing to get ahead of the curve in tourism popularity, as yet it remains relatively unspoilt. The summer months can get very hot, so spring and autumn are usually the best times to visit. A beautiful country, its lakes, rivers, UNESCO reserves, caves and mountains are stunning, as is the regal architecture in more populated areas. Belgrade is a great option for a city break, or if you want to experience village life, you can book a tour with locals to learn more about Serbian rural heritage.
