Family holidays in Serbia — 7 destinations kids love

Published: 19/07/2026

A holiday with children asks for something different: shorter distances, activities that keep them busy, and a place where parents can breathe.

**Zlatibor** is the safest bet — the Gold Gondola, slides, adventure parks and a lake in the centre, all within walking distance.

**Divčibare** works well if you start from Belgrade — an hour and a half away, gentle forest trails and famously clean air.

**Silver Lake** solves the summer question: sandy beaches, shallow water near the shore and water activities, with the restored Golubac Fortress nearby.

**Spa towns** such as Vrnjačka Banja and Sokobanja combine pools, landscaped parks and easy walks — often the most practical choice with younger children.

**Ethno villages** like Drvengrad give children something they remember for years: the Šargan Eight railway and wooden houses straight out of a film.

One practical tip: book accommodation with a kitchen and a yard. With kids, the freedom to cook and let them run outside beats any star rating.
