Serbia, 2nd (Bradt Travel Guide) Review

I am Serbian but have lived in the states for most of my life. When my husband and I took a trip this part fall, we decided to tour the country side for a week and escape the obligation of seeing relatives and friends. Best decision we ever made… particularly since it got us out of Belgrade, my home, but, a city I don’t think I would ever recommend to travelers… at least not until many, MANY things change. This book helped us, including me, a native, find the gems many Serbs haven’t explored. A few such gems included Mokra Gora, Djerdap, and any number of monasteries, many of which have recently been repaired to their original grandeur! However, not only was this book an amazing way to help make our trip easy navigation to the hidden treasures of Serbia, it was also invaluable to fill in the (many) holes in my knowledge of Serbian history. By the end of the trip, my husband, a pure-bred American, was quizzing me on things such as “the significance of Manasija Monastery…” In other words, I recommend this book to tourists as well as Serbian natives who wish to explore more deeply parts of their home!
