The Pannonian Plain covers the northern third of the
country while the easternmost tip of Serbia extends into the
Wallachian Plain. The terrain of central part of the country, with
the region of Šumadija at its heart, consists chiefly of hills
traversed by the rivers. Mountains dominate the southern third
of Serbia. Dinaric Alps stretch in the west and the southwest
following the flow of the rivers Drina and Ibar. Carpathian
Mountains and Balkan Mountains stretch in north–south
direction in the eastern Serbia.
The Danube, the second largest European river, passes through
Serbia. It is joined by its biggest tributaries, the Great Morava,
Sava and Tisza rivers.
Climate
The climate of Serbia is under the influences of the landmass of
Eurasia and Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. With mean January
temperatures around 0 °C (32 °F), and mean July temperatures of 22 °C
(72 °F), it can be classified into humid subtropical climate. In the
north, the climate is more continental, with cold winters, and hot,
humid summers along with well distributed rainfall patterns. In the
south, summers and autumns are drier, and winters are relatively cold,
with heavy inland snowfall in the mountains.
Environment
There are 377 protected areas of Serbia, encompassing 4,947
square kilometers or 6.4% of the country. Those protected
areas include 5 national parks (Đerdap, Tara, Kopaonik, Fruška

Serbia, with a population of around 1.7 million. It is
located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The name Belgrade was mentioned for the first time in 878,
and during its long and turbulent history the city has been
occupied by 40 different armies and rebuilt from its ashes
38 times.
In 1918, the city became the capital of the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the capital of the Kingdom of
Yugoslavia
in 1929, and in 1945, the capital of socialist Yugoslavia.
In 2006, Belgrade once again became the capital of the
independent state of Serbia
Belgrade Fortress (Beogradska Tvrđava) is the oldest
cultural and historical landmark in Belgrade. Also of
interest to tourists are Skadarlija, the central bohemian
quarter; the Residence of Princess Ljubica (Konak Kneginje
Ljubice); Captain Miša’s Building (Kapetan Mišino Zdanje); the
Old Palace and New Palace (Stari Dvor and Novi Dvor); the

it is the third largest in Serbia. It is also notable as
the birthplace of Constantine the Great, the first
Christian Roman Emperor and the founder of
Constantinople. The most important cultural and
historical attractions in Niš are the Mediana – a
large 4th-century Roman estate; Nis Fortress – the
best-preserved Turkish fortress in the central Balkans,
built in 1723 and containing the remains of Roman
Naissus in its foundations; the Skull Tower (Ćele Kula).
One of the first impressions
the city makes is that it is a city of well-tended
beauty. Its architecture and spirit have been shaped
by many nations. Easy-going and surrounded by
fertile lowland, Fruška Mountain and the Danube,
the capital city of Vojvodina is a pearl amongst
the Serbian cities. It is also called the ‘Serbian
Athens’, the Danube River Gibraltar and is home to
south-east Europe’s largest music festival EXIT
