Serbia is one of the six republics which came together to form the erstwhile Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It is situated in the south of Europe, in the Balkan region. Albania and Montenegro lie to the south of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina lie to the west; Hungary lies to the north and Macedonia to the south. Croatia lies to the northwest of Serbia, Romania lies to the northeast and Bulgaria lies to the southeast.
Due to the Balkan wars against Bulgaria and Turkey, Sandzak, Kosovo and South Serbia joined hands with Serbia. Vojvodina joined Serbia after it broke away from Austro-Hungary when that empire fell in 1918. The Croatian, Slovene and Serbian territories that were under the Austro-Hungarian Empire also merged with the Kingdom of Serbia. This kingdom, in turn, merged with the Kingdom of Montenegro to become the Kingdom of Yugoslavia which was governed by Karadjordjevic, the royal dynasty of Serbia.
There are two major rivers which flow through Belgrade. They are the Danube and the Sava. Many old buildings stand tall on their river banks. A large fortress called Kalemegdam is also located on these banks. This fort has been built, remodelled and rebuilt by the Romans, Celts, Byzantines, Austrians, Serbs and Turks for more than 2000 years. It has many ports and towers and two long biking and walking tracks which skirt around the rivers.
Belgrade is reputed for its night life. There are whole night party clubs to suit every kind of tourist. "Skadarlija" is a street which is truly bohemian.

Strahinjiča Bana, known as Silicon Valley among the locals, is another street which is frequented by vulgar, loud, surgically enhanced folksingers and their entourage of wannabes and hangers-on. The Serbians love to enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the many bistros, cafés and bars.
