Small, peacful town in heart of Serbia, full of history, beautiful sceneries and most of all - incredibly welcoming people who are delighted to meet visitors from different parts of the world and make their stay memorable.

The most famous sight in Smederevo is its castle sitting on the edge of the Danube. It is very large, although there are only walls and towers to see and climb up. Smederevo also has a pedestrianised square in its centre which is a nice place to sit and have a coffee while watching the pious visit the Church of St George.

Smederevo is a small town and apart from fort there is not much to see, but views of Danube (Dunav) are remarkable and it is great to visit in summer. In autumn there is a festival (Smederevska Jesen) with some truly great food.

A nice little town on the Danube River with the remains of a great fortress from the 15th century with an interesting story and legend. Friendly people, great food, a great selection of restaurants in the city and on the river. Close to Belgrade, easily accessible by highway.

Smederevo is a very beautiful city. We were there for Smederevska jesen and we were really pleasantly surprised by how many people have come to Smederevo. The city was full, all the clubs, all the bars and pubs were full. We spent a great night listening to band playing in a bar at Kralja Petra street, and later we went to a club on the river side. During the day we enjoyed the view of Danube river, while we had a perfect but not expensive lunch. The Smederevska jesen fair was fun, and the fortress was amazing, shooting bow and arrow, trying out replicas of Serbian medieval armors and weapons and climbing on and exploring these medieval surroundings was an adventure we’ll remember... We came home after two days, packed with wine bottles from local wineries, and we’ll already are planning our next visit to Smederevo…

Just ignore the outdated overall aspect of the city and enjoy a walk in the biggest lowland castle of Europe, the view from the top tower, standing in line with the locals for a piece of freshly baked pie and a cup of yogurt, eating local dishes at the train station in a transformed train car, eating great ice cream in the central city square, next to the beautiful church of Saint George. Careful: the tourist information center in no more on Kraljia Petra street as advertised on the map in the center, but next to the church, in the old city hall, a two story house with a rounded corner and statues on top. We got a city brochure, regional maps and some nice souvenirs.
