An opulent blend of history, architecture, culture and entertainment awaits you in Serbia's cities. Subotica, in the far north, offers the baroque radiance of a central European city. Novi Sad, with its leisurely but still urban rhythm, exemplifies the tolerance and moderation of multiethnic Vojvodina. Belgrade, the capital city that never sleeps, captivates visitors with its natural combination of eastern passion and European elegance. Kragujevac, the heart of the Šumadija region, was the first capital of the modern-era Serbian state. Niš, the birth place of Constantine the Great, offers the relaxation of the Orient in the midst of fast-paced modern life. Besides the City of Belgrade, the capital, there are another 23 cities in Serbia: Valjevo, Vranje, Zaječar, Zrenjanin, Jagodina, Kragujevac, Kraljevo, Kruševac, Leskovac, Loznica, Niš, Novi Pazar, Novi Sad, Pančevo, Požarevac, Priština, Smederevo, Sombor, Sremska Mitrovica, Subotica, Užice, Čačak and Šabac. Serbia also has 150 urban areas with municipality status. The natural, spontaneous and never phony hospitality and warmness of the hosts are the key elements of the atmosphere experienced when staying in a Serbian village. A tourist will not be made to feel like an outsider in any village in Serbia; he or she will be accepted by the host like a close relative and dear guest whose every wish is to be fulfilled. Around every corner warmth, smiles, consideration and affection await the tourist, something which is hard to find in other countries. In Serbia there are over 1,000 cold and warm mineral water springs, and a great wealth of natural mineral gases and medicinal mud. In over 53 thermal resorts, the benefits of which even the ancient Romans enjoyed, spa therapies have been adapted to treat a wide range of health ailments and diseases and involve drinking medicinal water or taking medicinal baths. Besides the rich medicinal water spas, Serbia is proud, too, of its "climatic spas", which have been designated health resorts thanks to their favourable climates and geographic locations. The vast majority of Serbia's territory is dominated by mountains, from the Pannonian hills in the north all the way to the borders with Montenegro, Albania and Macedonia in the south. Serbia's mountains belong to the Rhodopes, Carpathian, Balkan and Dinaric mountain ranges. And the very names of some Serbian mountains are associated with natural riches abundant in Zlatibor, Zlatar and Rajac. In order to preserve the priceless harmony between the plant and animal kingdoms, some mountains have been protected as one of five national parks or have been proclaimed nature parks or areas of exceptional importance. Whether you come to Serbia from the south or north, from east or west, you should know that you are welcome to this noble region. Serbia is the capital of untouched nature, healthy food -- fruit and vegetables, but also the cradle of vine and wine, grape growing and wine making. Vine tightly intertwines its life with the lives of people in this region, for centuries sharing with them both joy and sorrow. Wine is the fate of honest and hardworking people who grow immense love towards wine and grapes.
