This bankrupt country is visa-free again! Prices are so low it feels like cheating!

Who understands this, family! A trip to Europe that you can just go on without a visa, Serbia is really so generous 🇷🇸 Just got back with my mind full of the Danube River sunset and 6-yuan coffee ☕

✨ Must-visit highlights (no detour version)
Belgrade core triangle: Climb to the top of Kalemegdan Fortress to overlook the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, the silhouette at sunset is absolutely stunning; the pure white marble exterior and golden dome interior of the Church of Saint Sava are truly impressive; stroll along Mihailo Obrenović Street to browse vintage shops, a 10-yuan coffee lets you sit all afternoon.
Internet-famous landmarks route: Drive 1.5 hours to Drvengrad (Wooden Village), walk on wooden boardwalks to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the movie "Life Is a Miracle"; on the way, check out the Drina River House, capturing the solitary river scene undisturbed early in the morning.
Around Novi Sad: Don’t miss the medieval ruins of Petrovaradin Fortress, with panoramic views of the city.

🥩 Food alert (don’t underestimate the portions)
Must-try national dishes: Walter Restaurant’s grilled meat rolls are juicy, Tri Šešira’s grilled beef paired with local beer is a classic, you can eat until you’re full for about 50 yuan per person.
Portion warning: Bela Reka Restaurant sells grilled pork ribs by portion, one portion is enough for two to share; the traditional meat patty Pljeskavica in bread is hearty, single diners should be cautious ordering the full set.
Recommended scenic restaurant: Kalemegdanska Terasa offers creative dishes with views of the two rivers meeting, the atmosphere is top-notch.

💡 Heartfelt tips
Money-saving transport: Belgrade’s buses and trams are all free, for intercity driving choose a manual transmission, daily rental only 105 yuan, keep enough dinar coins for highway tolls.
Spending pitfalls: Exchange rate estimated at 1 CNY ≈ 15 RSD, euros are accepted but change may lose on exchange rates; no tipping needed in restaurants, hotels don’t provide toiletries so bring your own.
Trip reminders: Poor signal in mountainous areas, download Google offline maps in advance; drones can fly over the fortress and Drina River House but avoid military zones.

No need for complicated planning, just bring your passport and go~ This kind of Europe experience with fewer crowds, beautiful scenery, and saving money is truly rare!
