How about a trip to Serbia

Although Serbia itself is a very young country, having officially gained full independence as recently as 2006, it’s history is far from juvenile. It forms part of the Balkan region of southeast Europe that has seen multiple wars and battles for supremacy over the centuries and as a result has left countries such as Serbia with extensive cultural and historical mixes within its borders. A landlocked country of mountains and lakes it is quickly being seen as a new destination for travellers wanting a combination of activities, from skiing in winter, to hiking and biking in summer, or a trip down memory lane with multiple towns and cities worth a visit. Belgrade will likely be a starting point, as the nations capital, its largest and most vibrant city with a great entertainment and nightlife vibe to it combined with art, history and culture. From there, Novi Sad and Kragujevic are only a few hours away, while the national parks and mountain resorts lie on the borders with Croatia and Romania
