Serbia Hostels - Budget Accomodation in Serbia, Europe

Landlocked and surrounded by turbulent eastern European countries, and containing the notorious United Nations administered hotspot of Kosovo, the newly independent Republic of Serbia (formerly part of Yugoslavia) has seemingly little to draw tourists. In fact, anyone planning to travel to Serbia will find it difficult to locate an up to date guide to the country or any information on what to expect beyond the confines of the capital city, Belgrade. The city itself, still scarred with the devastation of a long civil war, is lauded in travel literature mainly for its vibrant nightlife, although, being one of Europes most ancient capitals, it has plenty of interest to offer sight seers.

Those who are looking for a off the beaten track explorative holiday will find Serbia extremely welcoming. The country boasts lovely national parks, spa resorts and some of the best skiing in Europe continent during the winter months. Contained in the landscape of this verdant country are alpine meadows, impenetrable forests, glittering limestone caves, remote monasteries, mountain lakes, hot springs and fields of wild herbs.

Definitely not to be missed in Serbia is the magnificent Djerdap National Park, stretching along the right bank of the Danube River between Golubackigrad and the Sip Dam. The Djerdap Gorge is one of Europes most spectacular geographic features.

During the winter months those in the know head for the hills along the Ibar Highway, to the snow blanketed peaks around the village of Kopaonik which is fast developing a reputation as being one of Europes best, cheapest and cosiest ski resorts, best for beginners and intermediates, also featuring the Josanicka Banja spa.

Serbia may have been a no go area because of civil and ethnic warring for several generations, and parts of it remain unsafe for tourists and backpackers, but there is plenty that is now open to be re discovered in this Slavic enclave.
