00:00 I'm Laura and I'm here in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Serbia's in the heart of the Balkans,
00:05 just a two and a half hour flight time from the UK where east meets west. I'm on a journey
00:10 of rich history and varied culture and to find out why Serbia is the fastest growing
00:15 tourist destination in Europe.
00:17 [Music]
00:47 I'm here at one of the most popular destinations in Serbia. It's the Belgrade Fortress. It's
00:54 absolutely incredible.
00:55 So I'm here at St. Sarva's Church and I'm so happy to be speaking to Father Dragon.
01:03 So nice to meet you, thank you for having us.
01:05 So long, so long.
01:11 So excited to be coming here to the Royal Palace in Serbia. I couldn't come here without
01:17 meeting His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, Alexander. Thank you so much for welcoming
01:21 us to your beautiful home.
01:23 Thank you for coming.
01:25 [Music]
01:43 It was amazing. I think I'm going to carry on swimming back to Jordan. There you go.
01:48 In the territory of Serbia, 16 Roman emperors have been born here and today I'm in Viminac
01:54 I'm in Viminacium, a Roman city.
01:57 So this is actually a mammoth?
02:02 Yeah, it's actually a mammoth.
02:03 Nis is the third largest city in southern Serbia. It dates back to the Neolithic period
02:10 and it's the birthplace of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
02:13 It doesn't feel like it's on earth at all. It feels like a little bit of a fantasy.
02:22 I'm here in Devil's Town, a geological wonderland. It's full of mysterious rock formations.
02:28 How the rocks came to be here and shaped the way they are is shrouded in myth and legend.
02:50 I'm in Serbia's second largest city, Novi Sad. It's a lively university city with a real arty culture to it.
