CITY TOUR BY FIAT500 OLD-TIMERS “CONCRETE UTOPIA”
Who said driving must always be boring and numbing experience? The very favorite Serbian toy-car is back in the city traffic again with its vintage look!
You may now joke about its hilarious out-of-date design, but this piece of history has witnessed life under communism and a heap of events – it carried the corteges of the royal wedding ceremony, then became a “Brave Heart” movie set, it was used in the countless advertisements but it never complained or attempted to go out of order. People from all over the world come to Belgrade to have a true “Rise and Fall of a Nation” experience, and a FIĆA drive seems to be just the right backdrop.
The car is no longer being produced, but thousands still rumble around on Balkans roads more than 35 years after Yugoslavia’s collapse.
SAINT SAVA TEMPLE VISIT
Saint Sava Temple is the world’s second biggest Orthodox church – a fact made entirely obvious when looking at the city skyline from distance or standing under its dome.
The church is built on the site where the Turks apparently burnt relics of St. Sava – one of the most important public figures of medieval Serbia, whose remains had allegedly been burned on that spot in 1595 by the Ottoman Sinan Pasha. Work on the church interior (frequently interrupted by civil wars) continues today.
NIKOLA TESLA MUSEUM VISIT
Today, Nikola Tesla is easily considered one of the greatest inventors of all times in mankind. Not so long ago though, this Serbian scientist died a forgotten man, overshadowed in public memory by his one-time employer, Thomas Edison.
Tesla was born to orthodox Serbian parents in what is now a modern-day Croatia, but he emigrated to the U.S. as a very young man. From early age, he demonstrated the obsessiveness that would puzzle and amuse those around him. He suffered from OCDs, could store endless logarithmic tables in his brain, picked up languages super easily, and could go through days and nights on only a two hours’ sleep.

HEADING NORTH
WINE TASTING AT SREMSKI KARLOVCI & SIGHTSEEING OF THE CITY NOVI SAD
“Sremski Karlovci” – also known as the “Baroque City” – is the regional spiritual and cultural center, seated on the slopes of a nearby hill descending to the right bank of the Danube. The town is also well-known for its exquisite and award-winning wine labels, with a 17 centuries long tradition in wine making.
So, one of the most authentic things to do in Serbia is winetasting – soak up thousands of years of winemaking history, relax and enjoystunning enterior or take your glass outside onto the sunny patio and gaze across the pictoresque landscape. Smooth, well-balanced and unobrtusive – experts say Serbian wines are a must-taste!
Picture everything you ever wanted from a classy European city, then add a level of quirk and that laid-back attitude you won’t find anywhere but in the Balkans and voilà – you just described Novi Sad – capital of Serbia’s northern province. This primordial beauty belongs to central Europe – both by its natural geostrategic position and cosmopolitan spirit.
Calm, gracious and easygoing, the place has all the spoils and none of the stress of the big smoke. Oh, and… Novi Sad might be home for the most sought-out summer music festival in this part of the world, but music aside – it would still be one of the most loveable travel destinations in Europe even if it were stone silent!
