Prokuplje

Prokuplje is located approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) from Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

To really understand the Serbia way of life, get out and discover the other parts of the region. You'll find Niska Banja, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the west, and Leskovac 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the northwest.

When it's time to explore beyond Prokuplje, why not check out the nearest regional city. Jagodina is approximately 55 miles (89 kilometers) away and is home to attractions including Djurdjevo Brdo Park, Jagodina Go-Karting Center and Jagodina Cultural Center. Don't return to Prokuplje until you've investigated Jagodina's Aqua Park and Wax Museum.

If the weather means you don't want to be outside, plan a trip to Serbia's art galleries, history museums and art museums.

Try out some of this area's best winter attractions. Do as the locals do and have a go at cross-country skiing here. Snowboarding is also popular.

Often, a region's true character can be found wafting from its pots, pans and ovens. Cooks in this area often use cabbage and onion in their kitchens. Of course, no vacation in Serbia is complete without sampling karadordeva (stuffed veal) and pecenje na raznju (spit-roasted meat). To end your Serbia dining experience, be sure to order orascine (walnut pastry). If you enjoy a quality brew, check out Ruski Kvas. It is the drink of choice for many locals in Serbia. To complete your experience, try a vrnjci (sparkling water). It is a popular drink here.

You'll never want to say "Doviđenja" (farewell) to this memorable spot.
