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.
