SHORT TRIPS FROM BELGRADE

Hi guys! You all know that feeling when you go on a holiday in the begining of summer and then for the rest of it you spend your time home. I'm not saying Belgrade is boring during summer, but I like action, adventure, changing environment and that's why I decided to explore Belgrades nearby attractions which Serbia offers. It's not expensive and yet you get to see and find out new stuff. So, here are the places I visited this summer and I'm already planning where to go next :) I'm open for suggestions!

Zdravo svima! Svi vi znate taj osećaj kada odete na odmor na početku leta i ostatak provedete kod kuće. Ne kažem da je Beograd dosadan tokom leta, ali ja volim akciju, avanturu, promenu okoline i zato sam odlučila da istražujem okolne atrakcije Beograda koje Srbija nudi. Nije skupo, a imate priliku da vidite i saznate nove stvari. Pa, evo mesta koje sam ja posetila ovog leta i već planiram gde da idem sledeće :) Otvorena sam za predloge!

NOVI SAD

This beautiful city is only an hour and a half train ride from Belgrade so it's a great way to spend your day without travelling too far!  There are some places and attractions you simply need to see when you go here: Petrovaradin Fortress, Danube Park, City Hall, Bishop Palace, Saint George's Cathedral, Gymnasium Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj, Zmaj Jovina pedestrian street, beach Strand and if you have time you can also visit Fruska Gora which is close to Novi Sad. They say night life in Novi Sad is good here so next time I go I plan to experience that too!

NOVI SAD

Ovaj prelepi grad je samo na sat i po vožnje vozom od Beograda tako da je to odličan način da provedete svoj dan bez  dalekog putovanja! Ima nekih mesta i atrakcija koje jednostavno morate da vidite kada dođete ovde: Petrovaradinska Tvrđava, Dunavski Park, Vladičanski Dvor, Saborna crkva, Gimnazija Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Zmaj Jovina pešačka zona, plaža Štrand i ako imate vremena možete takođe da posetite Frušku Goru koja je blizu Novog Sada. Kažu da je noćni život u Novom Sadu dobar, tako da sledeći put kad budem dolazila planiram da iskusim to takođe!

AVALA

This mountain is placed 16km south from Belgrade- it's a good choice for a short trip. Of course, you absolutely must see Monument of the Unknown Hero and climb the Avala Tower. 

Ova planina leži 16km južno od Beograda- dobar je izbor za izlet. Naravno, apsolutno morate videti Spomenik Neznanom Junaku i popeti se na Avalski Toranj.

SMEDEREVO, VIMINACIJUM, SILVER LAKE

This trip was organised by Magelan agency from Novi Sad. I found this offer on Serbian Adventures website. Itinerary first takes you to Smederevo where you get to visit the Smederevo Fortress. The next stop is the archeological site Viminacium where you can see the remains of Roman tombs and baths, amphitheater, archeological site where mammoth skeleton was found... Visiting Silver Lake is also scheduled, although we stayed there only for one hour :( After Silver Lake, we crossed Danube by ferry and went by Deliblato Sands back to Belgrade. I am definitely planning to go on another trip with Serbian Adventures!

Ovaj izlet je organizovan od strane Magelan agencije iz Novog Sada. Ovu ponudu sam pronašla na sajtu Serbian Adventures. Itinerer vas prvo vodi u Smederevo gde posećujete Smederevsku Tvrđavu. Sledeće stajalište je arheološko nalazište Viminacijum gde imate priliku da vidite ostatke rimskih grobnica i kupatila, amfiteatar, arheološko nalazište gde je pronađen skelet mamuta... Poseta Srebrnom Jezeru je takođe planirana, mada smo tamo ostali samo jedan sat :( Nakon Srebrnog Jezera, trajektom smo prešli Dunav i prošli pored Deliblatske Peščare nazad do Beograda, Definitivno planiram da idem na još jedan izlet sa Serbian Adventures!
