Summer holiday usually means beaches and sea in Italy or Croatia. But did you know that there is another, equally tempting alternative? Serbia, a destination full of history, beautiful nature and interesting experiences, will certainly be pleasantly surprised.
Every year, many people go on holiday to familiar and crowded destinations without realizing that there are other, often equally beautiful and interesting countries. One of these destinations is Serbia, which you do not have to go so far. Although this Balkan country does not have access to the sea, it certainly has a lot to offer. Beautiful nature, rich history and fascinating culture of the capital are just some of the reasons why you should include Serbia on your holiday list. It is no wonder that, according to the prestigious Lonely Planet magazine, Serbia was selected as one of the best possible destinations for 2025.

Why Serbia?
It is great not to stay just for popular destinations and discover even the less known, which often offer equally fascinating experiences. Serbia is an ideal example of such hidden pearls. Thanks to the similarity of language to Czech you will feel at home and communicating with the locals will not be such a problem for you.
In addition, Serbia will reward you with authentic Balkan culture, interesting traditions and local hospitality. And what’s the best thing about it? Prices are favorable and the distance from the Czech Republic is short, so you don’t have to travel far to enjoy your holiday full of unforgettable experiences. So why not get to know Serbia this summer?
