Arrived with low expectations, left completely converted

Serbia wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful. The first full day in Subotica reset everything — the scale of Gamzigrad-Romuliana and the quality of the gibanica pastry were immediate signals that I'd misjudged the place completely.

excellent and affordable food became my personal highlight of the whole trip. Spent 13 days and could easily have stayed twice as long. Now I tell everyone who'll listen that Serbia is underrated — add it to your list.
