Thanks to the mild climate and the southern slope of the Mecsek mountain range, almonds, figs and sweet grapes grow perfectly in the region around Pécs, earning it the moniker in Hungary, The Mediterranean City. Pécs is also known for its fine porcelain, which is produced in the traditional Zsolnay factory. In 2010, Pécs was one of the European Capitals of Culture and awaits you with interesting sights and an elegant city centre. With this many assets, it is not surprising that even the great religions settled here and made their mark on the city's architecture: the former Turkish mosque is the largest in Central Europe, the magnificent cathedral is home to a stunning panelled ceiling and the synagogue is one of the most beautiful in Hungary.

The beautiful Kalemegdan Park around the fortress is one of Belgrade’s popular boulevards. And the city offers so much more: the Serbian-Orthodox cathedral with its wide, green domes, the Patriarchal Palace and the Square of the Republic with its National Theatre and National Museum. Right beside the square, you can find the narrow streets of the pedestrian zone with countless galleries, cafes, shops and bookshops.

Not far from Belgrade on the slopes of the Fruska Gora National Park along the Danube lies the picturesque town of Sremski Karlovci - known as Karlowitz.

Topola once played a key role in the history of Serbia, since it was here that the First Serbian Uprising took place between 1804 and 1813. Saint George's Church stands on Oplenac Hill near Topola.
