Tour of Niš, Serbia

I stayed one night in Niš, a city in Serbia. The next morning, I took a self-guided walking tour with the help of google map.

Niš main attraction within the city is the fortress and the Nišava river.

From my guesthouse, it is a 20-minute leisure walk to the main shopping area, where there are some statues.


Beyond the shopping area is the Nišava river and a bridge leads into the entrance of the fortress.



The fortress covers a sizeable area and can be explored on foot. The pavements make the walk easy and there are helpful signboards with descriptions of the ancient structures within the fortress.




There is a path leading to the top of the city wall.


There are not many tourists around on that day. Hardly any asian tourists, if any.

After some exploration of the fortress, I went to MacDonald's for a meal. With a corner window seat on the second level, the view of the city centre is quite impressive. There is a supermarket in the shopping area as well.

Overall, Niš, Serbia is worth a visit. Its city centre is small and compact. It is safe to walk around, at least in the daytime.
