This was a custom made trip we asked for and although there were many moving pieces, nothing went wrong.

Glowing Reviews From Our Guests
We found the natural landscapes of Albania breathtakingly beautiful and the history, both ancient and modern, fascinating. The food was amazing and we loved our guide. Albania was a surprise package for us, we didn’t know what to expect and we absolutely loved it.

The JayWay Travel experience is customized and personalized. Each trip will be unique to you and it is a wonderful way to ensure you focus on what matters most while travelling (sights, activities, etc.) rather than booking hotels, transfers, etc. that take up so much of your time and energy.

Crowds these days may flock to other former Yugoslav republics such as Croatia and Slovenia, but Serbia, with its mountains and lakes, deep history, and ancient traditions, remains as worthwhile as ever, and Belgrade itself gains popularity year by year. The crossroads and keystone of the Balkans, Serbia's central location is reflected in its 9 neighbors, whose diverse cultures have left their marks on Serbia's own cuisine and culture. From cosmopolitan cities awash in youthful energy to scenic villages and monasteries where old traditions hold sway, Serbia has plenty to offer.
A grand, vibrant capital
Our single overnight destination in Serbia is its lively capital, Belgrade. Before the fall of Yugoslavia, Belgrade was the capital of the most advanced country in Eastern Europe, as Yugoslavia's policy of neutrality let it trade with everyone. Belgrade's former grandeur is still clear in its prominent museums, active cultural scene, vibrant nightlife, and diverse but memorable architecture.

Frequently Asked Questionsabout Travel to Serbia
When is the best time to visit Serbia?
We recommend visiting Serbia, especially Belgrade, from early April to late May, or from early September to early November, as the winters are cool, and summers can be hot.
Is Serbia safe?
Serbia is, in general, fairly safe, but as always, be on the lookout for pickpockets when in crowded urban areas. Serbians are warm, friendly, and welcoming people keen to reverse any reputational damage from the 1990s.
What is Serbian cuisine like?
Serbian food is similar to that of neighboring countries, with its emphasis on grilled meats, alongside baklava and various yogurt-like dairy products. One of the most popular dishes is Cevapcici, also known as Cevapi. This consists of minced pork and beef formed into little sausages, grilled, then eaten with diced onions in pita bread. Another dish found anywhere is Burek, a phyllo dough pastry filled with combinations of meat, vegetables, and cheese. Vegetarian eateries are rare but Serbia is rife with good meat-free foods. Strong coffee, sometimes eaten with Austrian-style pastries, is a big part of the national culture, and coffeehouses and cafes are usually conveniently located for anyone looking to take a break, especially in Belgrade. Try a Karadorde's Schnitzel (Karadordeva Snicla, also known as The Maiden's Dream), a veal or chicken steak stuffed with cream akin to Chicken Kiev, then breaded, fried, and served with tartar sauce.
Serbia has several wine regions, but is most known for its brandy, Rakija, which can be made from anything from quince to pears. The most common time, Slivovitza, is made from plums. Most of Serbia, including Belgrade, has good drinking water, as evidenced by the drinking fountains often found in some places.
What is transportation like in Serbia?
The best way to get across Serbia is by private transfer, especially if you're looking to visit sights in between the cities where you're staying, such as Nis, or various monasteries. Serbian trains are very slow, and while they're being modernized, the reliability on most rail routes is still poor. Ticket agents and bus drivers rarely have any English skills, and figuring out the bus system can be complicated, especially if trying to cross a border.
