The world is littered with sad mistakes, often based on the misplaced values of its leaders. Serbia can be considered one of those places. But, anyone in the know knows how much the the country and its main city, Belgrade has grown and bloomed and boomed into one of the places to be. Take for example its rich History and Culture: Serbia has a long and complex history that has left a rich cultural heritage. From ancient Roman ruins and medieval monasteries to Ottoman architecture and vibrant folk traditions, Serbia offers a wealth of historical and cultural sites to explore. It had to fight its way through the violence that overtook the country and the city in the 1970’s.
But, it’s a very different place now. Luckily, some of the brutalist elements of the “Soviet years” are still there in the architecture, and that’s a good thing. Not everything was horrible under Soviet management. Even better, the night life is something to behold. Watch the DW Travel video.
