Tours to Belgrade
The main city of Serbia, which was once the capital of the state of Yugoslavia, Belgrade stretches on the Danube at the confluence of the Sava River.

In the meantime, tours to Belgrade are gaining more and more popularity among Russian travelers. The reason for this is the not too long flight, and the similarity of languages and cultures, and the famous Serbian hospitality.

This city began to be called Belgrade only in the 9th century, but this name did not bring the desired peace of mind to its inhabitants. They were conquered again and again by the Bulgarians, the Turks, the Austrians..
Today, more than a million people live in the capital of Serbia, including Montenegrins, Yugoslavs, Serbs, Roma, and even Chinese.
