Serbia is the rising star of Eastern Europe. With its continental climate, vibrant cities, and spectacular mountain landscapes tourism is booming, especially when it comes to company retreats and team activities. Its capital city, Belgrade, is the business hub and center of economic and tourism activity in the region, the perfect place for your next European team retreat.

Trying local food and famous rakija will help your team bond, while pristine mountain air will refresh you and prepare you for your next quarter. Fast internet even in remote locations, and affordable living are the main reasons why so many international companies are opening their branches in Serbia. The country is especially good for international teams because citizens of 92 countries can travel to Serbia visa-free.

‍

Belgrade is where every Serbia trip should start. It has the biggest international airport in the country, excellent infrastructure, and it is connected to every part of the Balkans by highways. Driving through Eastern Europe and stopping along the way is a great way for your team to reconnect.

‍

From Belgrade, you can head to the north towards Subotica and see the gorgeous Vojvodina plain landscape. Or you can opt to explore central Serbia or the south, filled with mountain peaks, scenic rides, and untouched nature.
