This new, fully updated edition of Bradt's Serbia covers all the practical information you could need, as well as details about the history, geography, economy, politics, and people of Serbia, along with food and wine, urban life, hiking, and outdoor adventures. Significant improvements in accommodations across the country in recent years are covered, with a wide range of options from five-star and boutique hotels to backpacker hostels.

Bradt's Serbia also highlights the culture and arts - music, literature, cinema, and art - as well as natural history, providing a detailed overview of the best wildlife areas in Serbia.

Serbia remains one of the lesser-known corners of Europe, although Belgrade, the capital, is becoming increasingly popular with foreign visitors, as is the second city, Novi Sad. Both cities are vibrant, cosmopolitan, and welcoming, with a lively nightlife. In contrast, rural Serbia, with its hidden monasteries and stunning countryside, is an unexplored gem.

This new edition covers everything from the development of the coastal city of Savamala in Belgrade to accommodations in villages, archaeological sites from Roman times or earlier, public transport information, the EXIT festival, and the Guča Trumpet Festival, and of course the country’s sporting achievements: tennis player Novak Djokovic has won 20 Grand Slam titles, while Serbia has also excelled in team sports such as water polo, basketball, volleyball, and soccer in recent years.

Regardless of your interests, whether it’s a trip on one of the steepest railways in the world, the Sargan Eight line, visiting one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, the Saint Sava Temple in Belgrade, or touring the National Museum or the Museum of Contemporary Art, both now open, Bradt's Serbia offers everything you need for a successful trip.
