Serbia is located in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula, on the most important route linking Europe and Asia, occupying an area of 88,361sq.km. Serbia is in the West European time zone (one hour ahead of Greenwich time). capital city Belgrade is situated in South-Eastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula. It lies at the point where the river Sava merges into the Danube, on the slope between two alluvial planes. The river waters surround it from three sides, and that is why since ancient times it has been the guardian of river passages. Because of its position it was properly called “the gate” of the Balkans, and “the door” to Central Europe. Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education and science. It has the highest concentration of nationally important science and art institutions. Among them are the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, established in 1886 as the Serbian Royal Academy; the National Library of Serbia, founded in 1832; the National Museum, founded in 1841 and the National Theatre, founded in 1869. The budget of the City of Belgrade provides financial resources, wholly or for the most part, for 30 cultural institutions. Belgrade has 19 theatres, 29 cinemas, 20 cultural centers, 4 concert halls, 7 foreign cultural centers, 43 museums, 66 galleries, 11 libraries with their municipal branches, many orchestras, choirs, jazz orchestras and cultural artistic companies. The City of Belgrade is the founder, financer and organizer of many regular annual cultural events. Most of the authors from all fields of culture and art live and work in Belgrade, the center of culture and art of Serbia and Serbia and Montenegro. Belgrade has also hosted the famous world authors and performers in the fields of music, theatre, film... The only Serbian Nobel laureate, Ivo Andric, has created some of his greatest literary works right here, in Belgrade. The most important works of architecture, monuments and other immovable cultural properties of the Serbian people are in most part located in Belgrade. Belgrade is also the seat of the Belgrade University, founded in 1808, and of the University of Arts. Sport in Belgrade One can often meet European, World and Olympic champions in the streets of Belgrade. It’s nice when a small country can say that it is a superpower in sports. This region is a true exporter of top class basketball, football, volleyball, water polo and handball players... The first basketball match in Belgrade took place in 1923. Today, if we exclude North America, the best basketball in the world is played right here in Belgrade. There is no gold medal we didn’t win even more than once. Vlade Divac, Sasa Djordjevic, Predrag Danilovic, Pedja Stojakovic and the other (usually) “golden boys” have conquered the world starting from Belgrade. Soccer has always been a step behind basketball, and that’s probably because it’s so pampered. The first soccer match between “Crvena Zvezda” (Red Star) and “Partizan” (Partisan) was played on January 5th 1947 and this started the tradition of the “eternal derby”. The duel between the city rivals is “the” soccer event in Serbia and Montenegro and a specific trade mark in European and world soccer. Belgrade has hosted many important world, European and Balkan sport events. Accomodation in Belgrade Belgrade has more then enough hotels for accommodation of all visitors who would like to attend the 25th Summer Universiade. Within Belgrade there are 34 hotels categorized from 3 to 5 stars. Also, we can offer student hostels with more then 7,000 beds. Entertainment in Belgrade (Spirit of Belgrade): One thing is for sure - IT’S NEVER BORING in Belgrade! Almost every day some meeting, event, festival, tournament, exhibition, concert, match, or performance take place. The local ones - for friends from the neighbourhood, as well as the great ones - of international importance. Belgrade has character in spades. Other places might have a lead in exoticism, but for the real beguiling Balkan spirit, it has to be Belgrade. It is a city where you can dance until sunrise seven nights a week, where hospitality crackles in the air, and where looking good is a birthright and a religion in one. In Belgrade you can taste some of the purest organically produced food and drink. Traditional cusine means that almost everything is home-grown - and it tastes that way. With a penchant for locally smoked ham, grilled meat, stuffed vegetables, specialist breads, salads, pickles and soft “kajmak” cheese, most Serbs eat enormous amounts and yet stay enviably slender. A lot of nightclubs, bars and restaurant-boats along the riverbanks make Belgrade nightlife some of the most exuberant in Europe. Spectacularly beautiful young women who look as if they have stepped from the fashion pages of Cosmopolitan, students, young men in sports clothes, musicians and writers link arms in camaraderie as they wander the cobbled streets of the nineteenth-century Skadarlija Bohemian quarter, the pedestrians Knez Mihailova Street teeming with luxury shops or Republic Square with its dozens of pavement cafes. Most Serbs go out for the evening after 10pm and most nightspots are open until at least 2am - yet there is rarely any sign of drunkenness or offensive behavior. The atmosphere is usually of people having a benignly good time enjoying everything from Procol Harum to Electric Six, Sinatra ballads to Serbia’s home-grown brand of high-energy pop music.
Beautiful country with ugly government.
Serbia is a great country. I come from Montenegro, we split from Serbia and Montenegro in May 2006. In Serbia ppl are great, very similar to Montenegrins, warm and very helpful. Such outgoing and fun-loving ppl you wont find anywhere in USA or the rest of Europe.
Well, I don't know what exactly you're interested in... I live in Serbia. I think it's nice if you don't live here, 'cuz we're kind of trapped with nowhere to go...
A nice country with people ready to have fun at any moment. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is famous for her night life and foreigners that come to visit us always make compliments to us on this. Belgrade is also very safe (other Serbian cities as well), a female can walk down the streets alone at night with no fears at all. This is something I would point out as one of the things that make this country wonderful. This is only one thing about Serbia. But that was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read this question.
