Travel Serbian SOLT 1 Culture Notes Module 4 Lesson 8

Travel through Serbia Serbia and Yugoslavia are busy crossroads of the world’s thoroughfares. In the large treasure chest of Serbia, there are meticulously packed, valuable artifacts, from ancient times. The artifacts include rare underground cave crystals, collections of herbs, and mementos from the earliest childhood of the European civilization.

One can reach Serbia on foot, riding a bicycle, or by car, bus, plane, train, and ship. The arteries of international thoroughfares connect Serbia with Northern and Southern Europe. E-75, the Trans-European thoroughfare, starts in Scandinavia and passes through Bulgaria, Greece, and Bosporus, ending in Asia. It takes only several hours of driving from Central Europe or Vienna to reach Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia. When traveling trough Serbia, travelers will find service stations of the Automobile Association of Yugoslavia, gas stations, shopping centers and restaurants along the way. Even an ordinary business trip to Serbia offers more than business meetings. Serbia is the country of trade fairs and congressional tourism. All year long, in Belgrade and Novi Sad, international trade fairs follow one another. Numerous commercial and industrial centers await old and new business partners. The Sava Centar in Belgrade has hosted more than150 international gatherings. With its modern, well-equipped halls (seating 7000 people), the Sava Centar offers numerous activities. There is a direct link with the Belgrade Intercontinental Hotel and the Belgrade Hyatt Regency Hotel. The Sava Centar is only a 15-minute drive from the Surcin International Airport.
