About Niš A grisly reminder of the bloodshed of the First Serbian Uprising is a

and has been settled since a Roman camp was founded
here more than 2,000 years ago.
The new fortress was a massive undertaking: It covers 22
hectares and comprises more than two kilometres of walls. Niš makes an excellent base from which to explore Southern Serbia. The road east to Pirot follows the
Roman Via Militaris that once linked Belgrade with Serdica (Sofia) and Constantinople (Istanbul). Although
still a busy road often clogged with trucks, it passes through picturesque landscapes. A motorway linking
Niš and Sofia has recently been finished and it has never been faster to travel to the capital of Bulgaria.
From Pirot a delightful road winds through craggy gorges to the isolated Poganovo Monastery in the Stara
planina Mountains. Visitor information centres at Niš and Pirot have hiking maps and links to agencies

the leftover goods they had accumulated from their tenants as tax.
When Niš was liberated the old Turkish-style townscape was swept
aside and this square was given a fresh Central European air. Despite
the 20th-century tower blocks on the west side there’s still a pleasing
row of 19th-century houses on the square’s eastern edge, with cafe
terraces in front.

Mobile Phones
To use your mobile phone in Serbia you need to make sure it enabled for roaming.
As Serbia is not in the EU, it falls into the most expensive ‘rest of the world’ price band
for nearly all European mobile operators. You’ll be charged a substantial amount
to make and to receive calls and text messages, so it is a good idea to purchase a
Serbian pay-as-you-go SIM card upon arrival. Apart from being handy for domestic

If your bag can take up more bring your favorite card or board game! We would like to play it together. You
can also write down some game ideas (a version of truth or dare, a drinking game, etc.) and items you might
need for them and we will gladly try them out.
You will need to bring your lab coat for practice.
Think about the International night! What traditional meal and beverage will you make? Are the ingredients
specific to your country? Is there a game or a dance you can teach us which we can do together but need
certain items? Serbian stores (especially out of the capital) may not have some products from abroad such
as some exotic fruits and vegetables, certain sauces, traditional utensils, etc. You can always ask us if you
are in doubt about anything!
If you forget or choose not to pack something and are in need of it- do not worry! We will help you find it in
stores nearby. We may be able to borrow our spare ones (please do not rely solely on this!).
Don’t forget to pack enough of your prescribed and needed medication as it may not be possible to find it
in Serbia! Health insurance is desirable. Pack smart!

their directions, and almost all will at one point stop at the central city square (you can see the Monument

Tap water is safe to drink but a bit harder than the norm which is the main reason why some locals prefer
drinking bottled water. The worst health danger you are probably likely to come across is excessive passive
smoking in public spaces.
The majority of Serbian men are extremely respectful towards women. There are no particular dangers here
for women travelling alone, but sexual harassment is a possibility so the usual safety precautions should be
observed: travel during the day whenever possible and don’t walk in poorly lit streets or parks at night; stay
in control by not drinking to excess in social situations and refuse drinks from strangers; avoid overcrowded
public transport and use only recommended taxi services.
