Unfortunately, for many people, the first association to the word “Serbia” is war. Yes, Serbia has a dark and sad past, however, there are still great and beautiful things to see in this southeast European country. These are the most important things you need to know before visiting it:
Raspberry Heaven
What do you get when you combine the perfect continental climate with Serbian fertile soil? The correct answer is “Red Gold”. This small, landlocked country is the world’s largest raspberry exporter. There are even festivals dedicated to raspberries. The most famous one is held in Arilje.
Serbs Are Loud
Very, very loud, but in a good-way loud. They are cheerful, hospitable and they are always celebrating something. According to some statistics, Serbs are the most hospitable nation in the world, all thanks to the ancient Slavic belief that the host wouldn’t gain any favor of gods if he didn’t show hospitality to a guest. So, don’t be surprised if you get treated as if you are the Queen of England.
Cyrillic alphabet
Cyrillic alphabet is the official Serbian letter, so you might get confused or lost at first. But don’t worry, people there tend to speak English, and they will help you anywhere and anytime.
Non-Vegan Serbian Cuisine
Stop reading this if you are a vegan! Serbian cuisine is all about meat, especially pork. Serbs love to joke and say that the pig is their animal King.
